Summary of This Method
This jazz guitar method, authored by Ted Greene, continues the work started in the first volume by gathering essential tools for single-note playing and applying them to improvisation. The core of the book focuses on the art of navigating chord changes: understanding how to evolve your vocabulary from one harmony to another, targeting chord tones, and creating phrases that "tell" a story from the beginning to the end of the chorus. By working on phrasing, melodic direction, and harmonic logic, you develop solos that are stronger, more natural, and more musical. Ideal for guitarists who want to move beyond licks and learn to construct genuine jazz guitar lines, this method helps connect ear, fingering, and understanding of progressions to gain freedom both on standards and in playing situations.
