Creative
Chordal Harmony For Guitar
By Mick Goodrick & Tim Miller 
This inventive approach to imagining and organizing notes will
expand your concept of guitar harmony. You will be able to organize
and use tensions more easily and with greater expression whether
you are soloing playing in a rhythm section or in a solo guitar
context. Practical etudes over popular chord changes will help
you to understand and apply these new theoretical concepts. The
accompanying recording includes examples and play-along tracks
featuring innovative guitarists Mick Goodrick and Tim Miller along
with an all-star rhythm section featuring Terri Lyne Carrington
on drums and John Lockwood on bass. You will learn to: develop
and apply new chord voicings using a rich palette of notes; isolate
and organize the most essential notes of any chord-scale (Generic
Modality Compression); view chord scales as five families of 3-note
chords: triads sus4 clusters 7th no 3 and 7th no 5) to be used
systematically and simultaneously; leverage this chord-scale organization
to lead you to inventive harmonies; incorporate tensions more
intuitively into your comping and lead lines; and use new arpeggio
patterns in linear improvisation.

The
Real Book: Sixth Edition
The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since
the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through
every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were
illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright
law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical
masterpieces. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate
and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even
notice the difference, other than that all of the notorious errors
have been fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song
list is nearly identical, and the price is even cheaper than the
original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these
books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the
songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all
time! Includes 400 songs: All Blues * Au Privave * Autumn Leaves
* Black Orpheus * Bluesette * Body and Soul * Bright Size Life
* Con Alma * Dolphin Dance * and hundreds more!

Jazz
Guitar Comping By Andrew Green
This book helps players get a handle on the most
important job a guitarist has when playing in a small group: comping.
This book will show guitarists ways to create chord voicings and
comping rhythms that will make them an asset to any jazz group.
"Comping" is an abbreviation of the word "accompanying". Within
a Jazz group, it is the art of improvising a chordal accompaniment
for a soloist or singer.
When you are the only chordal instrument in the group, you will
likely spend 75% of the time comping--which means that it is the
most important thing you do. Jazz Guitar Comping gives the guitarist
the tools needed to be an effective comper, and an asset to any
small jazz group. There is a wealth of information about building
chords, voice leading and the rhythm. The CD contains mny examples
from the book and includes recorings of a jazz quartet with analysis
of the soloist and the comping.

Chords
for Jazz Guitar: The Complete Guide to Comping, Chord Melody and
Chord Soloing by
Charlton Johnson
This book/CD pack will teach you how to play jazz
chords all over the fretboard in a variety of styles and progressions.
It covers: voicings, progressions, jazz chord theory, comping,
chord melody, chord soloing, voice leading and many more topics.
The CD includes 98 full-band demo tracks. No tablature.
Customer review: "A great method-supplement
for Jazz Guitar, but not the first or only book to buy if you
are just starting out in Jazz Guitar. This
is a good chord method book/CD package, heavy on method, lighter
on comping, chord melody, and chord soloing, and jazz standards.
If you already have some good Jazz intro books, and found them
easy going, this book may help round out your skills. It is recommended
as a complementary study and follow-on once for the aspiring Jazz
Guitarist needing very structured practice-method material".

Jazz-Rock
Solos for Guitar: Lead Guitar in the Styles of Carlton, Ford,
Metheny, Scofield, Stern and more! (Various)
Examine the solo concepts of the jazz-rock masters
in this comprehensive book/CD package! You'll get phrase-by-phrase
performance notes, plus tips on: improvising with triads; blues
fusion; lines for static chords and vamps; atmospheric jazz; double
stop improvising; and much more. The book includes standard notation
and tab, and the CD features both full-demonstration and rhythm-only
tracks.
Customer review: "Having been through several
jazz instruction books, this is by far the best. It runs its solo
lines over complex chords- the kind you hear the better players
actually playing over. It explains the concept behind the lines
before giving them. This way, not only will the lines stick better,
but you will have the background material to build your own lines.
It is not a beginner book, but even a beginner could follow the
well laid-out diagrams; it may just take him a while to get up
to speed. ".
