Summary of This Book
This expanded edition brings together thirty guitar solos that have become references, with a clear focus on understanding playing through melody, harmony, and rhythmic placement. Each solo is presented in a way that allows for in-depth study, not only as a chorus to be played but also as a source of ideas to reuse in your improvisations.
The highlight of the book lies in the addition of chord progressions and guitar voicings : you can thus place each phrase in its context, identify target notes, understand resolutions, and observe how the lines interact with the accompaniment. It is an excellent resource for practicing reading, enriching your jazz vocabulary, and developing harmonic reflexes directly applicable in jams or group settings.
The repertoire spans standards and notable themes, including "Angel Eyes," "Besame Mucho," "Days Of Wine And Roses," "'Round Midnight," "Four On Six," "West Coast Blues," "Unit Seven," "Freddie Freeloader," "The Thumb," and "Twisted Blues." A varied selection that allows for exploring different tempos, grooves, and harmonic colors, while maintaining a stylistic coherence oriented towards jazz guitar.
