Building a Jazz Chord Solo-A Guitarist's Guide to the Art of Chord Melody Playing

Book/CD pack. Learn the art of jazz chord soloing in four stages. Four standards ("Indiana," "Avalon," "April Showers" & "My Melancholy Baby") are presented in four arrangements of varying levels of difficulty: a beginner's arrangement using first-position chords; an intermediate arrangement using moveable chords and a more developed chord vocabulary; an advanced arrangement with chord substitutions and reharmonization; an improvisational chord solo that leaves the melody behind, teaching how to improvise over a set of changes. Learn how to build your own chord solos as well as understand jazz progressions. All arrangements are played on the CD. Note/tab. 55 pp.
