Summary of This Method
This method is aimed at guitarists who wish to approach jazz in a structured way, replacing purely self-taught learning with a clear and coherent progression. The goal is to establish essential foundations: the construction and progression of chords, understanding of harmony, use of arpeggios, and mastery of modes in a musical context.
The work is designed to simultaneously develop fretboard knowledge and jazz vocabulary. You thus progress on the necessary foundations for comping (accompaniment) as well as improvisation : identifying chord colors, setting target notes, constructing lines from arpeggios, and choosing modes according to the chord progression. This approach makes the book relevant not only for jazz but also to broaden your playing in contemporary music.
The method emphasizes practice through a large number of exercises, complemented by an audio CD allowing you to hear examples and work with a sound support. You will also find examples of phrasing drawn from the aesthetic of great jazz guitarists (Django, Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and many others), to integrate an authentic language and nurture your sense of placement, articulation, and harmonic progressions.
