Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar Chord Soloing


Book Description

This book is designed to teach the guitarist the technique of chord soloing. This technique is extremely valuable to all guitarists because chords and melodies are played together; there is no need for an accompanying instrument. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of chord soloing. I would recommend that novice guitarists start at the beginning and work through the book slowly. Intermediate players may want to find a chapter that looks challenging and start at that point. By the end of this book, you will be able to take any lead sheet and turn it into a guitar arrangement. Enjoy the journey into the fascinating world of chord soloing.
