Complete Jazz Guitar Method: Mastering Jazz Guitar: Chord/Melody (BOOK & CD) by Jody Fisher Paperback . First of all, I think Jody Fisher has done a commendable thing by putting together a book for beginning jazz guitarists because there are so few books of its kind.

Only 7 left in stock (more on the way). Unfortunately, I have not found this book to be very useful other than as a source of reference. The main problem with the book is that, while the material it covers is fairly comprehensive, it provides very little guidance in actually learning and memorizing the materials presented.

The Jazz Guitar Chord Dictionary. Jody Fisher is an outstanding instructor. The DVD was basically an introduction into Jazz improvisation and did not get as deep as the rest of the course gets. I would bet my house that if the songs had been more like my idea of what Jazz is, I would have absolutely loved it and would have been more motivated to learn and apply the ideas using the etudes.

First of all, I think Jody Fisher has done a commendable thing by putting together a book for beginning jazz guitarists because there are so few books of its kind. Unfortunately, I have not found this book to be very useful other than as a source of reference.

The main problem with the book is that, while the material it covers is fairly comprehensive, it provides very little guidance in actually learning and memorizing the materials presented. I liken it to someone handing you a Japanese dictionary and expecting you to learn how to speak Japanese from it. For example, the book covers triads and all of their inversions, diatonic scales and modes, a whole bunch of chords (7th, 11th, 13th, Add9, dominant 7th suspended, etc.) and many different fingerings for each. Yet, for all the material that it covers, the book relies exclusively on short little etudes to demonstrate the application of each concept. I do not think these etudes are very effective in internalizing the concepts presented. The best instructional books provide a lot of guidance on how to learn. Ted Greene's books are always full of comments like, "Don't worry about memorizing all of these forms right now, just focus on hearing how they sound..."

Another problem was that you have to get through well over half of the book before you get to anything that sounds remotely "jazzy". Compare this with Mickey Baker's Complete Course in Jazz Guitar which gets you playing cool sounding jazz chords from the very first page of the book. A student who wants to learn jazz guitar will need a lot of patience in order to stick with this book.

Finally, I thought that the absence of arpeggios in the book was a huge weakness. The book makes a clear distinction between chords and scales, going so far as dividing the book into "A" sections (for chords) and "B" sections (for scales). I think this approach is somewhat misguided -- it wasn't until I learned to utilize arpeggios and target chord tones that I could make my soloing sound jazzy. I think that, for many years, I was stuck in a rut precisely because I had so thoroughly separated chords from scales in my head. In contrast to this book, Ted Greene's Single Note Soloing Volume 1 introduces arpeggios within the first few pages, shortly after he introduces chords and scales. This has the effect of reinforcing the close relationship between the two concepts.

The Intermediate Jazz Guitar book (the next one in this series) is a little bit better because it starts you off playing jazz from the get go. In addition, it provides a little more guidance in internalizing the concepts and the CD has some backing tracks for improvisation. Personally, I think most people who want to learn jazz guitar can skip this one and go straight to the Intermediate level book. If you don't mind reading standard notation, the Mickey Baker book I mentioned above is a good one, as well as Ted Greene's Chord Chemistry and Single Note Soloing Volumes 1&2.

This book is amazingly well thought out. It really covers a lot of ground and gives you a solid understanding of the basics of jazz. The six major scales 6/1, 5/1, 6/2, 5/2, 6/4, and 5/4 are very helpful in learning the fretboard. Some of the chords have ridiculous stretches, but overall the majority of chords given are useful and easy to master. The book focuses equally on both chords and single-note playing. There is a lot of theory that is easy to understand and very helpful in learning the jazz music style. I can hardly wait to master the basics and move on to Book Two, but that is going to take at least a year, maybe two.

I highly recommend this extremely useful and practical book. It's the best jazz guitar book I have ever seen. Jody Fisher is an accomplished teacher. The Mickey Baker jazz guitar book is also useful, but Jody Fisher's book is much better overall. I am currently working out of both books. I am a very experienced rock guitarist and that really helps. I wouldn't want to be just starting out on guitar and trying to use either of these books.

Buy this book and be prepared to work hard and have a ball doing it.

I have used this book a lot since I got it, and I have learned much from it. While I at first was quite entusiastic about the book, I am slightly more critical now.

The book proceeds along two tracks, chords and solo. In both cases etudes goes alongside the theory so you can apply what you have leared. But after learning some of the etudes, I started wondering if I had really learned the theory. You learn to play basic triads on any three adjacent strings, and this accompanied by an etude. But as the etude is written in TAB I do not think about whether the chord I play is an d-minor or an A major or any other chord. I found that when I took an old song-book and tried comping using the same basic triads, I had to think about how to form the chord and hence I learned more. For many of the other etudes I got a similar feeling that what I learned was not the chord or the fingering, but to read TAB.

Another strange point is that the book starts out by a short review of the pre-requisite. You are supposed to be familiar with fingering of the pentatonic scale, and basic blues chord progression. But nowhere in the book would lack of such knowledge be an aparent problem.

Still, this is an good book. The basic theory is excellently explained. I have learened a lot from the book. It starts out easy both in construction and voicing of chords and improvisig, proceedin to modes of the major scale.

First off, when this book says "beginning," it does NOT mean it is targeted to a complete beginner to guitar. It means it is written for a guitarist who knows the basics of rock guitar and would like to learn more about the more sophisticated and traditional jazz style.

The book assumes that you already know a couple scales (pentatonics, etc.) and most standard rock chords, and I greatly appreciated that it assumed I knew these, because I was afraid the book would be too "dumb" in the beginning.

This book is fantastic... it shows you what to play with clear diagrams and explanations and all the etudes and songs are written in TAB and traditional so it exposes you to playing guitar using traditional notation, which is an important skill.

I highly recommend this book. If you are a fairly good intermediate-level rock guitarist who knows all the basic open and barre chords, this book will pick up right where you want it to and help you add some sophistication to your playing... all you have to do is practice what it teaches you!
