Jazz Guitar Chord Creativity: A Complete Guide to Mastering Jazz Guitar Chords Anywhere on the Fretboard

This is a great book to start comping jazz pieces on your own. It provides you a step-by-step process to visualize chord shapes throughout the neck, so that you can experiment with different combinations and harmonizations. To make it even more useful, I'm applying a piece of advice I found in Martin Taylor's series on finger-style jazz: I'm practicing each chord shape with a different finger on the bass. I really like the practical applications shown in each chapter (minor and major ii-V-I, plus one charade arrangement of one jazz standard, Autumn Leaves) that you can practice at your pace with or without backing tracks (downloadable with the book, like all books from this publisher). It's giving me lots of tools to express my musical ideas, and I'm really glad I bought it.

definately worth a 5 star rating! Another fantastic book from Fundamental Changes. As a teacher of guitar one must always practice what we preach and so any improvement of knowledge or technique is a worthwhile pursuit. No doubt this will book will challenge the best players but learning to approach your playing from a new perspective is always great for re-igniting your passion. Very easy to understand and apply.

I've only just begun this book, but I can see that it will be very helpful in terms of chord chemistry, rhythm guitar and the blending of chords and single notes. The author accommodates jazz guitar in both a solo and ensemble context, and the audio tracks are convenient and effective guides. Thanks!

I own lots of books on guitar. Most of them are pretty difficult to follow and put into practice. I got this book and read the whole thing before I started using it. I like the approach and I believe I can and will learn a lot and that it will be another breakthrough in my playing. It appears laid out well and after completing the first chapter and actually being able to change the chords and understand the voicings I am impressed. I am excited. I'm off to a good start. https://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Alexander-Voicings-Modern-Paperback/dp/B00RWSSYII/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=joseph+alexander+drop+2+voicings&qid=1589217758&sr=8-3

Book was helpful to increase chord knowledge but had too many diagram errors.

This is a great step by step method for understanding chords on the fretboard. The instruction is very thorough and well thought out. Nicely done!

Great book. Explains use of chordal fingering patterns, that are multi chordal; opens up fingerboard understanding and navigation possibilities in the context of jazz changes. Work is required but the payoff is there.

If you already know your basic voicings, this book should take your comping one step further. It shows you how to create a great base for the tune you're about to play in a cool and modern-sounding way. It's definitely the guide I'd like to crack into for a couple of months! Then we'll see what happens.
