Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 167 scores of compositions by Pat Metheny, presented in a "Real Book" spirit: an efficient layout designed to get straight to the point and quickly find a theme, chord changes, and the structure of the piece. It is a particularly relevant resource for guitarists, but also for all instrumentalists who wish to work on Metheny's harmonic and melodic language in a straightforward, practical format.
Thanks to the addition of guitar chords, you save time in building your accompaniment: harmonic landmarks, progressions, placements, and chord colors become more accessible whether you play solo, in a duo, or within a rhythm section. The book is suitable for both sight-reading and analysis (cadences, modulations, tonal centers) and provides an excellent foundation for developing your vocabulary in jazz guitar : choruses, substitutions, arpeggio work, triads, extensions, and voice leading.
You will find a broad panorama of Metheny's universe: essential themes like "Last Train Home," "Minuano," "First Circle," or "Are You Going With Me?," as well as rarer titles that allow exploration of different atmospheres (ballad, groove, more open textures) and enrich a jam, concert, or lesson repertoire.
