Published by Santorella Publications (SP.TS296). ISBN 9781585600700. UPC: 649571002961.Jazz Guitar - Learn to Improvise with CD published by Santorella Publications is a melodic approach to improvisation written by a respected Boston based author and educator, Ed O'Brien. Learn to Improvise is the first in a series of jazz guitar books designed to familiarize students with fundamental techniques and concepts of jazz improvisation. The process of learning jazz improvisation is a vast area requiring much study and practice. Many books have been written on this expansive topic, but typically cater to a specific era or style; i.e., Swing, Bebop, etc. Jazz Guitar - Learn to Improvise takes a broadminded approach, and provides the student with concepts and examples that can be applied to jazz of any era. The performance CD contains every example, played at a moderate tempo, which allows students to not only read the exercise, but hear it as well. Scales, arpeggios, chord voicings, II/V7 progressions and chromatic voice leading are just a few topics covered.
