Rate this book
Learn and incorporate essential jazz guitar chord vocabulary into your playing quickly, easily and logically. Jazz Guitar Chord Mastery is a guitar chord method that easily develops your harmonic knowledge and fretboard skills, while helping you master and use advanced jazz chords, voicings and inversions. Jazz Guitar Chord Mastery begins by breaking down jazz harmony into four basic chord Maj7, m7, 7 and m7b5. How the notes of these chords are arranged on the guitar has a massive effect on their sound and use in music. Every common arrangement (or 'drop' voicing) of these chords is covered in detail, along with advice on when they are best used, which ones are a priority to learn and how to musically incorporate them into your playing. Any 'drop' chord voicing can be 'inverted' to be played in different four ways. Jazz Guitar Chord Mastery covers every inversion on every possible string group and shows you where to focus for greatest benefit. Each chord structure is shown in terms of its interval arrangement on the neck, which instantly increases your vision, awareness and understanding of how chords function. With this knowledge you will make tiny adjustments to the basic four '7th' chord-types to easily form 9th, 11th, and 13th chords plus Dim7, Maj6, m6 m(Maj)7 and any altered dominant chord you wish. Jazz Guitar Chord Mastery goes way beyond any chord dictionary. You are taught to construct, play and apply every essential chord voicing in a musical context. Bonus hundreds of audio tracks to download for free Bonus learn to move through chords in inversions while adding melody and walking bass With hundreds of positive reviews, Fundamental Changes guitar books are a proven, fun and effective way to quickly improve your playing.

Lots of info

A good overview of the jazz chords. It was an excellent intro to jazz chords for a guy who has very little background in them.
