Publisher : Alfred Music
Playing Guitar in Jazz Band - A Practical Guide for Students and Teachers
Level: beginning to intermediate
With Notes and Tablature

"Playing Guitar in Jazz Band" is guitarists who are interested in playing in a jazz big band.
Playing this style of guitar can be challenging, as the chord changes are often complex, yet the guitar parts should remain simple enough to avoid detracting from the overall sound of the band.

This book breaks down that process by substituting difficult chord shapes with more flexible voicings that are designed to sound good on the guitar.

Learn a wide variety of rhythmic patterns and work with authentic chord charts that are exactly like the ones you will encounter in real-life situations.

A CD demonstrating the examples in the book is included.
