Comping Standards for Jazz Guitar

Book/CD set. Ferguson helps you take your playing to the next level. Using common jazz chord progressions, he takes you through three primary comping approaches: straight-four, moving bass lines, and combo variants. In the process, you'll learn numerous chord voicings, ways to organize them, and a wide variety of dynamic rhythmic figures used in jazz. Also include the use of guides and pivots, chord substitution, mastering rootless chords, playing with a pianist, inverting partial harmonic structures, Latin comping, chord scales, handling modal tunes, and mixing voicings. The highly detailed music examples cover most of the common jazz keys. Note/tab. 32 pp.
