FINGERSTYLE JAZZ GUITAR CHORD SOLOING
by Paul Musso
Photo
Teaches the technique of "chord soloing." This technique is extremely valuable to all guitarists because chords and melodies are played together; there is no need for an accompanying instrument. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of chord soloing. Novice guitarists start at the beginning and work through the book slowly. Intermediate players may want to find a chapter that looks challenging and start at that point. By the end of this book, you will be able to take any lead sheet and turn it into a guitar arrangement. Free online audio. Intermediate. 148 pp.

CREATIVE CHORDAL HARMONY FOR GUITAR
by Mick Goodrick and Tim Miller
Photo
Book/CD pack. This book introduces a new system of studying harmony called Generic Modality Compression that allows guitarists to discover fresh and unusual chord voicing for accompaniment or solo playing.

Practical etudes over popular chord changes help you understand and apply these new theoretical concepts. This system will help you organize and use tensions more easily and with greater expression, develop and apply new chord voicings using a rich palette of notes, isolate and organize the most essential notes of any chord-scale, more. The CD includes examples and play-along tracks. Notation only. 95 pp.
