John Abercrombie & Andy Laverne - The Art of The Duo - DVD
This DVD recording of John Abercrombie
and Andy LaVerne is the most recent in a musical and personal relationship that
has spanned some 25 years! In the past, John and Andy usually played some
standard material - but for this
project only original songs by the two of them
were recorded. In this way, the performance of the duo is more
personal than
ever. The emphasis here is the interaction and blend of the instruments, as
opposed to just the
individual solos. In the duo, things become more exposed and
the responsibility of each player becomes
greater. It's a challenging and also
extremely rewarding situation! Songs include: "Good
Measure, Any Given
Time, Just a Waltz, Comfort Zone, Jasmine, Handy Number,
Crystal Night, Avion, Forty Three, After Ours, On The Bright Side, Kaddish".

This lesson focuses
on teaching a variety of bop to modern jazz compositions. The approach for the fingerstyle
guitarist differs
from
those used in playing swing tunes in that the harmonic structure is more sophisticated and
the bass lines
typical
of swing are inappropriate to the more contemporary styles of modern jazz. Duck Baker
brings years of
experience
as a performer, teacher and devotee of fingerstyle jazz to make this lesson fascinating
and challenging. Tunes
include: "Blue Monk, Sweet And Lovely, Out Of The Past, St. Thomas, Tintiyana, and
Mr. Jelly Roll
Soul" and
the techniques needed to play them.

Duck Baker is considered to
be one
of
today's finest fingerstyle swing guitarists. In this lesson he teaches the basics of how
to put that
"swing"
into
your playing. This is not a lesson for beginners. Duck presumes that you can already
fingerpick
using
an alternating bass technique in the style of Mississippi John Hurt or Chet Atkins. Duck shows you
how
to expand
this style and take it to a different level so that you can fingerpick swing tunes. Along
the
way
he explains and
explores rhythm chords and changes that you will need to incorporate in to your playing.
Four well know tunes
from the swing repertoire are taught and the arrangements are fully explained phrase
by
phrase. Each arrangement
is then illustrated on a split-screen that clearly shows what each hand is
performing.
This lesson will help you
develop your own individual technique for playing fingerstyle swing
guitar. Tunes include:
"Redwing, I Got
Rhythm, Bei Mier Bist Du Schoen, Never Swat A Fly".

David Becker - Getting Your Improvising Into
Shape - Book and CD
This wonderful
project focuses on the use of chord shapes (mainly triads) in building a single
line solo. It also opens up
some of the mystery of the fretboard by showing exactly how the fretboard
relates to diatonic harmony
without using single note scales. Not only will new lines appear more easily, but new
and usable chord
voicings
will also appear. Guitarists will see how these are related to the lines being
played and will be able
to move away from
position playing and open up the neck - removing any black holes. There is also a
look
at phrasing and
how rhythmic understanding is important to improving harmonic and melodic
development.

David Bloom - Melodic Chords For Guitar
- Book and CDDavid Bloom - Major Blues For Guitar
- Book and CDDavid Bloom - Minor Blues For Guitar
- Book and CDMark Boling - Creative Comping Concepts For
Jazz Guitar - Book and CD
Pianists are the
main sources of inspiration for new developments in jazz guitar comping. Yet
guitarists have been slow to
develop a comping vocabulary with harmonic
sophistication, subtle voice leading and rhythmic flexibility on
the level of
the best contemporary pianists. This book seeks to remedy the situation by
articulating a comping
vocabulary in the context of six of the most often played
tunes in jazz: 12-bar blues, rhythm changes, minor blues,
a modal tune and a
couple of standards. The comps include rhythms with forward motion, chords built
in fourth
intervals, parallel constant structure voicings, polychords, slash
chords, etc. The focus is on developing a
contemporary approach to rhythm,
phrasing, chord voicings, voice leading, chord substitution, and reharmonization.
A play-along CD recording of the guitar comps with bass and drums helps get the
sounds and rhythms
in your ear. The theory of how the comping concepts are
applied to the music is explained with ideas on how
to use them creatively.

Clifford Brown - Essential Jazz Lines Of Clifford
Brown - Book and CD
by Corey Christiansen and Kim Bock. This book/CD presents some of the
soloing techniques Clifford Brown
employed as well as numerous lines over
various chords and chord progressions similar to the lines he used
in his
playing. Because the major and minor ii-V-I progressions are the most widely
used chord progression in
jazz standards, the lines in this text will work over
these progressions. The accompanying CD contains many
play-along tracks (vamps
of one chord and vamps around the circle of fourths) that the student should use
to
practice the material in one key and then master it in all twelve keys.
Clifford Brown had an extraordinary gift
for stringing together coherent,
beautifully developed lines in the bebop idiom and delivering them with a rich,
dynamic and always swinging tone. By studying both the vocabulary and the
stylistic characteristics of a
major player like Clifford Brown the student will
add to his personal improvising arsenal of musical ideas and
expressive
devices. Have fun studying these concepts and applying them in your improvised
solos!

Chord shapes form a visual frame of reference for the
player, so it is easier to play
the single note, improvised horn-like lines out of chord shapes that Charlie
Christian was noted for. The
concepts and fingerings
presented in this book have been developed by analyzing
many of the licks often
used by Charlie Christian
in his solos. One can play the riffs in virtually any
key without difficulty by
simply moving the shape and
fingerings, up or down the fingerboard. Just one of
the elements of Charlie
Christian's genius in making the
guitar a bona fide solo instrument in the jazz
ensemble! 93 tracks are
included on the CD.

In guitar history, no single figure stands as tall as jazzman Charlie Christian.
He not only helped introduce
the electric guitar to the world, but also popularized single string solos -
moving the instrument from back-ground rhythm to the forefront of popular music. And like so many important jazz
players, he made enormous
contributions in the span of an all-too-short life. This DVD covers all aspects
of Charlie's life and music, featuring interviews with family friends, fellow Oklahoma jazz musicians and music
luminaries like Claude 'Fiddler"
Williams, Jerry Jerome and Les Paul. Also included are a large array of musical
performances by such guitarists as Herb Ellis, Eldon Shamblin, Zeke Campbell and others!

Applications of Advanced Jazz Harmony
for Guitar. John Coltrane's
recording "Giant Steps" introduced a system of chord progressions and chord
substitutions that has challenged even the best jazz musicians. The tri-tonic
systems (sometimes referred to as

Steps and Countdown are taught in a digestible way throughout
this method.
Etudes show how to re-harmonize standard ii-V-I changes with Coltrane Changes.
The play-along
CD will help students practice and master single-note lines over
these chords in all 12 keys. Guitarists will appreciate the chord voicing
suggestions. A must have for the serious jazz guitarist.

Miles Davis was one of
the most innovative musicians of the 20th century.
This book will shed some
insight into the music and soloing devices he used during his earlier periods.
First,
to help the student better understand Miles' early bebop style of
improvising, the authors discuss the use
of guide tones, bebop scales, three to
flat nine, targeting, and other techniques commonly used in the bebop
language.
Then the text presents numerous one, two and three-measure jazz lines in
Miles' style grouped by
the harmony over which they can be used. The
accompanying play-along CD provides the rhythm parts for
each section - including
a track that modulates through the cycle of fourths - helping
you master the phrases
in all keys. By combining various lines, musicians will
be able to mix and match numerous combinations of
these lines to play over
ii-V-I progressions, turnarounds and other harmonic situations. Incorporate
these
essential jazz lines into your vocabulary and you will be able to create
your own lines in the style of Miles
Davis!

Robert Conti - Ticket To Improv - Vol 1 - DVD
The time-tested and acknowledged pathway to become a
skilled improvisor is to play your instrument at every jam session or other
opportunity that becomes available. That’s exactly how the early greats learned
their craft, simply by playing jazz, not by wasting time talking about modes,
scales or unimportant activities that prevented them from actually playing their
instruments. As seen in 25 prior DVDs, the core success of the Robert Conti
approach is his ability to teach the jazz language at the street level, where it
actually began, not in a sterile institute. Specifically, while most educators
preach modes, Robert Conti shows you where to put your fingers to play jazz
lines. If you’re an entry level jazz guitarist such as a blues or rock player
trying to make the crossover to jazz, this DVD will take you on one of most
exciting and productive musical events of your life! Very soon, you will be impressing your friends with your
new playing skills. As in each of his
learning products, once again, Conti delivers another “Motherlode!” How? By
teaching you exactly how to start playing an arsenal of lines over the chord
progressions to four “must know” tunes that are played in every real life jam
session! Songs include: "Satin Doll, On Green Dolphin Street, Autumn Leaves,

Randy Felts - Reharmonization Techniques - Book
Randy Felts has been a professor of jazz
harmony at Berklee College of Music for over 25 years and in this book he reveals how to
reharmonize a tune,
and give the melody new color by changing it's underlying harmonics. Learn reharmonization
techniques such
as: simple substitution (substitute chords with others in the same harmonic family to vary
tunes while monitoring their original color), diatonic approach (reharmonize with chords from a single key
to create a harmonic
change for most standard jazz and pop contexts), adding dominant and subdominant chords
(use these chords or their tri-tone substitutions to create sophisticated harmonic sounds), harmonic
displacement (relocate important cadential points in a phrase to create open space to fill with new chords), modal
interchange (borrow chords
from common minor keys to darken the harmonic color of phrases). He will teach you to work
with bass lines,
turnarounds, extended endings and modulatory interludes, diminished seventh chords, hybrid
chord voicings and other advanced patterns to give your music a unique sound.

Danny Gatton - Unfinished Business: Life
& Times of Danny Gatton - Book
Book
written by Ralph Heibutzki. Danny Gatton was a guitar virtuoso known for his
wide stylistic range.
With a
musical vocabulary that included country, gospel, rockabilly, soul and
standards, he dubbed his
own style
"Redneck Jazz". Hailed as the world's best "unknown" guitar player by both
"Rolling Stone"
and "Guitar
Player" magazines, Gatton was a player's player who never received popular
acclaim but who
continues to
influence guitarists everywhere! His personal demons and his struggle to reach a
wider audience while staying
true to his own music proved to be too much for him and in 1994 he took his own
life.
Drawing from first-hand
interviews with dozens of friends, family members and fellow musicians,
"Unfinished Business" places Gatton's
musical contributions in context and documents his influence on those
peers who
admired him most.

context. Teaching in "little bites" so you can absorb each musical idea, Aaron
carefully demonstrates the chord shapes, rhythms, turnarounds, and

Grant Green - Rediscovering The Forgotten Genius
of Jazz Guitar - Book
Written by
Sharony Andrews Green. This heartfelt biography celebrates the life and music of
Grant Green, the late jazz
guitar genius who played on nearly 100 albums from the early 60s to the late
70s, but narrowly missed celebrity.
Today his music has inspired numerous acid-jazz and hip-hop recordings and his
legend continues to grow.
A straight-ahead jazzman turned fun wizard, Grant is best known for his rhythmic
and driving tone as a session
leader and sideman for Blue Note Records. This book paints a personal portrait
of Grant's internal struggles
through the eyes of his family, friends, and fellow
musicians.

Grant Green - Essential Jazz Lines -
Book and CD
This book/CD
focuses not only on lines in the style of Grant Green, but also some of the
techniques he used. The
jazz lines
have been grouped by which type of chord or chords (major, minor, dominant
seventh, etc.) they can
be played
against. Each section has a one or two chord vamp in one key to help guitarists
hear how the line
works against
any given chord or chord progression. Play-along tracks for each harmonic
situation moving
around the circle
of fourths help with learning the lines in all 12 keys. Before long,
guitarists studying this
method will have a vocabulary that will allow them to solo over the most common chord
progressions in jazz.
Eventually original
ideas inspired by previously memorized lines will be created and an
original voice will
begin to emerge.

Ken Hatfield - Jazz & The Classical Guitar - Book and
CD
Theory and Application. This
book is designed to familiarize classical guitarists with the musical vocabulary
of jazz and to encourage jazz
guitarists to explore the beautiful sonorities and limitless expressive
potential of the classical guitar! The
first half of the book contains theoretical explanations focused on harmonic
analysis of the types of chord
changes and song forms one routinely encounters in the jazz repertoire - as it
demonstrates the application
of all twelve notes of the chromatic scale to any chord in any situation. The
second half of the book is
comprised of Ken Hatfield’s original compositions and transcriptions of his
improvised solos. Both the
tunes and the transcribed solos demonstrate how the theoretical material in the
first half of the book can be
artfully applied within the context of compositions representing three musical
genres that have served as
wellsprings of renewal throughout jazz’s deep and illustrious history: blues,
rhythm changes and standards.
The 14-track companion CD includes all the music from the second half of the
book. The music is recorded
in a variety of contexts including solo, duo, trio and quartets of differing
instrumentations. Two of the
songs are designed so that the student can play along with the rhythm section.
Twelve songs feature Ken
playing the heads and the solos. Ten of these are transcribed in their entirety, while two leave the solos for

Sid Jacobs - The Changes
- Book and CD
These
lessons are offered as a way to visualize guide tones on the fretboard. From
these shapes lines can be
created for soloing and voicings can be built for
comping and chord melody. Most importantly, the changes
of the progressions
being played can be heard with only a few notes. The simple approach is always
best -
guide tones are easy to play and are how the ear identifies a chord
progression. Embellishing guide tones is
what improvising musicians from baroque
to bebop and beyond have been doing to make the changes.
Companion CD includes

Antonio Carlos Jobim: An All-Star Tribute - DVD
Direct from Brazil comes this deeply
appreciative musical tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), co-founder and
leading composer of the
Bossa Nova. With over four hundred songs to his credit,
Jobim single handedly brought the Bossa Nova
to the world, where it became a
main ingredient in the jazz cookbook. Jobim's new sound adapted the
rhythmic variety and percussive excitement of the Samba to the intimacy of
syncopated guitar, while echoing the
melodies and harmonies of cool jazz. This
is an extraordinary gathering of jazz giants and together with Jobim
himself (in
his last recorded concert appearance), they recreate his classic melodies in a
beautiful, concert-length (Thank You"). Songs include: "Once I Loved" - Shirley
Horn: vocals, piano, "Aqua de Beber" -Gonzalo Rebulcaba: piano, "Olha Maria"
-Gonzalo Rubalcaba: piano, Joe Henderson: tenor sax, "O Grande
Amor"-Joe

Lasse Johansson - Early Jazz For
Fingerstyle Guitar - DVD
The ragtime and early jazz music
pioneers during the first decades of the last century didn’t know that
the sounds they created would echo in the music that people loved for
years to come. They started an American music tradition that is alive to
this day. Many of the early jazz songs and of course classical ragtime
often is played as piano music, with a steady left hand playing bass
notes and chords together with the right hand playing a syncopated
melody on top. This style of playing is very similar to the alternating
bass style on the guitar. So these tunes easily lend themselves to a
fingerstyle arrangement. With classical ragtime I approach arranging by
transcribing the original piano sheet-music. The important thing is to
find keys that suit the guitar and then decide what notes not to play
since it is not technically possible to play all the notes in a piano
score on the guitar. I like to play in keys that will give me the
opportunity to use open strings in the bass while the melody moves up
and down the neck. This is especially important since my aim is to make
my arrangements not too difficult to play, so that the player can
concentrate on the music instead of being too concerned with the
technical aspects of his/her playing. The most important challenge
though, is to make the tune sound like guitar music, not piano music
played on the guitar.
Songs include: "Ain't Misbehavin, Buddy
Bolden Blues, Creole Belles - March & Two-Step, Dixie Jazz Band
One-Step, Feeing My Way,Memphis Blues, Russian Rag".
A detailed tab/music instructional booklet is included as a PDF file on

John Jorgenson - Intro to Gypsy Jazz
Guitar - Book, DVD & CD
In this 2-hour DVD lesson,
Jorgenson provides the foundational information and practice material necessary
for you to gain an understanding of the Gypsy jazz guitar style. The first half of this volume addresses
the important element of
Gypsy jazz rhythm. After discussing correct right hand rhythm technique,
Jorgenson teaches the closed
chord forms of a basic blues progression and then systematically introduces new
chords into that progression to add "color" and "spice" while also introducing you to the characteristic
"moving chord" style of
Gypsy rhythm. After addressing the basic blues progression, Jorgenson then
transitions into the more
Gypsy sounding minor blues progression and introduces the "three-note" chords
which are prominent in
Gypsy style rhythm guitar. The second half of this first volume addresses
soloing. Here Jorgenson not only
lays the groundwork of Gypsy jazz soloing, but in the process also presents you
with a method which
serves to greatly enhance your understanding of the fingerboard and
improvisational playing. Jorgenson
teaches arpeggios, note maps, lead patterns and Gypsy techniques in every area
of the fingerboard and in
various keys. Additionally, he masterfully shows how the arpeggios and patterns
relate to one another. An audio CD with play-along practice tracks is also
included!

Lessons include: harmonic
vocabulary and tonal music, the aesthetics of the guitar, key center music, diatonic
harmony, improvising over
chord changes, solo lines over chord changes, developing staccato (picking), and legato
(slurring techniques)
