This collection of in-depth
text and CD lessons is specifically designed to help the novice
player emulate seven jazz guitar giants. The concepts and techniques
contained within these workshops are essential to the understanding
of how the great players themselves work, and also to the mechanics
of jazz guitar playing in general. The important areas of chord
substitution, "minorisation," altered tension, chord/scale
relationships, comping, pedals, and octave playing are all examined
in depth. In addition to offering a wealth of theoretical and
practical material, artist bios are presented and analyzed to
determine the players' overall significance in the history and
development of jazz guitar style and technique. The artists portrayed
here are: Kenny Burrell, Hank Garland, Barney Kessel, Pat Martino,
Wes Montgomery, Johnny Smith, and Joe Pass. Written in leadsheet
format (notation and chord symbols) with chord grid diagrams
on selected pieces. (c)2001, 64 pages. Book & CD. |
