For a jazz musician; being able to manipulate chords and progressions is an essential part of defining ones own personal musical style. This book is very effective in helping to develop this skill. Creative Chord Substitution for Jazz Guitar explains the technique of chord substitution as a tool to expand and vary existing harmonic progressions. The theories of advanced harmony discussed here will enable any guitarist to have; at his fingertips; seemingly endless possibilities of chordal color -- possibilities that will take him far beyond the written page; and unlock an unlimited world of creativity as a player; arranger; and composer.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not a quick readBy R. LauI ordered this book at the suggestion of my guitar teacher. So far I find this book a little difficult to get the hang of. I will update my review as I progress further along. I was hoping that the author would provide more connection with the guitar in terms of fret pictures and how the scales changes from fret to fret and string to string. I do appreciate though that it is written in musical notation and not in tab.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy OshaGreat book. fabulous condition; glad I got it4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good book for all guitaristsBy John AllanAaron Shearer books have always been very well written. This book is not only good for classical guitarists but every other style of guitar. It is easy to understand and in a workbook style. I am a guitar teacher and recommend it to my students. It gives them a good understanding of guitar theory.
