Every guitarist who learns to play jazz finds out, sooner or later, about solo jazz guitar, or chord-melody as it is commonly referred to. For those who venture to take up its demanding challenges, this type of playing is a beautiful and expressive art form. But as many find out, learning to create a good chord-melody can be a long, frustrating process. And to create an arrangement on the spot - nearly an insurmountable task. This book is one of the first publications to offer performance level arrangements of jazz songs for the solo guitarist. lWelve popular standards (with standard notation and TAB) are included, ranging in difficulty from intermediate to advanced in terms of both playability and understanding. However, with time, hard work, and dedication, nearly any guitarist with a few chops can work these up to playing speed and use the phrases and concepts in their own playing. The arrangements are written to represent a broad range of stylistic diversity. There is some acoustic (both steel and nylon string), plenty of electric, some aggressive tunes (check out "Satin Doll" with its country swinglTexas blues influenced licks), full lush piano-like chord songs (like "My One and Only Love"), and traditional swing tunes (a la jazz greats like Joe Pass and Herb Elllis). You will also find a variety of techniques such as harmonics, slurs, walking bass lines, octaves, and other idiomatic ideas. To help keep the music fresh and interesting (like most live solo performances) I've reworked some of the harmonies. The new harmonies are always written in parentheses below the standard harmonies (as I know them to be). I urge you to explore these songs from your own harmonic perspective as well. Providing both sets of chord changes should give you valuable insight to different rehamonization ideas. May you be blessed with sure fingers and great gigs! Peace and Happiness
