Creative Chord Substitution for Jazz Guitar: Learn Unlimited Ways to Harmonize Melody Lines and Progressions (Jazz Masters Series) Sheet music – May 1, 2004

This is an older book that I have had for a while in a paper cover, I travel a lot and have been getting Kindle copies of my most used music books so I can bring my practice routine reference books in my iPad with me instead of needing a book bag. No tablature is used in this book, it’s all standard treble clef notation for guitar chords with example bass lines written in bass clef when needed. If you want to read things like fake books at jam sessions with other instruments, they are all sharing standard notation books so jazz guitarists need to have a working ability with reading to play melodies they haven’t seen before at gigs. Tablature is very rare at jazz rehearsals, guitarists are often given piano charts to read off at big band gigs. I love the information in this book, I originally bought it when I wanted more ideas using quartal chords, this book has a lot of info on chords based on fourths.

I bought this book to spice up my playing and further advance what little I had known about the complex study of chord substitution. I was familiar with diatonic substitution. But chromatic was the one I needed to expand my knowledge on. And this book does a great job of explaining how it works and why it works.i haven't finished reading this book but so far I have come across a few minor typos. Other than that, this book is a must have for any serious guitarist

If your ready to start expanding your cord substitution knowledge then you have found a good book.You may know most of this stuff, but its laid out well and a great review...The only thing that didn't work for me was most of the musical examples..I use an alternative tuning and I just don't use the barcords and open strings as much as some players...All and all a good book...

I like this book a lot. Again as is with a review I gave for "Hearing the Changes", it does help if you know a little something already, but what is presented here can be put to use right away and this information here would help to understand other books concerning some theoretical approaches to jazz and music overall I believe. I like the authors lighthearted dialogue. The whole deal. Nice examples so that you can hear the sound as you go along, etc.

Best book I've come across for explaining harmonic movement on the guitar..great for helping to understand chord addition to a chord progression.

It's a good guide for harmony, real simple and with good examples.I like the section about the "quartal harmony".

Item arrived on time and as advertised.

Very good
