Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists who want to learn jazz guitar standards in a practical way, this method offers 8 pieces presented with tablatures and chord charts. The goal is twofold: to develop your rhythmic ease (comping), understand harmonic progressions, and gain musicality on typical jazz forms and cadences. The CD allows you to work with full versions to internalize the style, then move on to playbacks to play the theme, reinforce your timing, and test your improvisation ideas. For effective progress, you can change the tempo without altering the key, useful for mastering difficult passages, stabilizing the pulse, and refining articulation. Included titles: I Remember You (Tal Farlow), I'll Remember April (Grant Green), Impressions (Pat Martino), In A Mellow Tone (Joe Pass), Moonlight In Vermont (Johnny Smith), On A Slow Boat To China (Barney Kessel), Things Ain't What They Used To Be (Jim Hall), Yesterdays (Wes Montgomery).
