Product Description
The Truth About Jazz Guitar: (from one veteran player's perspective, anyway)
If you just want a book of diagrams for making chords and scales on the guitar, there are heaps of those around--The Truth About Jazz Guitar isn't one of them. The Truth is about inspiration, the lessons hard-won over years of experience, and about how to turn those chords and scales into music that pulses with vitality and purpose--jazz that cooks. The Truth will teach you the importance of playing with a solid beat, and how how to develop that skill; how to make the muscles of your hands work with ease and efficiency so the notes come out quick and clean; how to educate your ear and connect it with the guitar's neck so that you play what you hear; even how to handle an audience when you perform; and a great deal more.
