For each song, this book first shows you all the chords you need with the chord boxes to show you the voicings. Then it has the lyrics, with the name of the chord above the point where you need to change it. Its very easy to use, and gets you playing songs in no time! You would have to know how they go though. Chock-full of great songs, and will have you impressing any party! Very good value for money. Sometimes the chord chosen is not actually correct, but it does the job and is great for beginners/intermediates.
I think this is a great companion to the CD. It was very useful to me and the chord boxes especially get you strumming these fantastic songs in no time! Lyics included! The voicings seem spot on. It is tabbed mainly for one guitar, but still, the main riffs you would want to play are there.
Wolf has done it again!! This is better than having a lesson - everything is explained, broken down, and parts are played in different tempos, you cannot NOT learn from this book! If you want to learn how to perform the songs from this amazing night, buy this book. It is the exact professional fingerings Eric used. Watch out though - Wolf breaks down the techniques and shows you things like "intros" or "verse" or "ending".. but does not tab out the entirity of the songs. He shows you bite -size segments - and he expects you to put it together and get the idea if there are many choruses etc. But dont worry, all the famous solos of that night are all there! Buy it now!
A mediocre DVD. Its pretty much as described, but half inspiring as the description would lead you to believe. Each time he demonstates a lick, the presenter's face and monotone voice looks like he's been through 50 takes! Nevertheless, it's tabbed and possibly useful for beginners. Much better is Joe Pass's "Jazz Lines" - learn jazz lines from a real pro/master.
Not a bad rival to the other play-along series. A major advantage is that the melody is actually played on one of the 2 tracks for each song. If you dont want the melody, you have a second track to use just as a professional backing track - great! This way you can learn the songs stated. Also, lyrics are included. As for the changes, I think some of them are pretty tough.
Average video. I saw this in a shop, and the host was taking a great solo over a latin jazz song - so I bought it. It wasnt transcribed anywhere. I wasnt impressed. All you get is a series of simple licks, transcribed, performed and notated, after an extremely brief explanation of scales /arpeggios and how to practice them. For beginners only.
This is ideal for only for building your vocabulary of lines, but what makes it so special is that he gives away some top lines. Although there is a bonus performance thrown in, it is pricey but a good buy depending on your musical objective. Highly recommended, the most useful and learnable instructional video Pass made, in my opinion. Joe simply gives you lots of bite-size 2-3 bar licks.
He does an extended vamp over each chord, and then demonstrates a non-stop line, or an "etude" as the booklet calls them, usually employing some ideas of the previous licks in the lines – a nice pedagogic touch. The cover says "special section on turnarounds", but its not!! They are extended turnarounds so you can't learn the lines and use them yourself. What he is really doing, is showing you how to navigate through certain key sequences. My only complaint is that I was hoping to learn some cool turnaround lines. Other than that, for me and my purpose, an excellent video. Just what I wanted.
Without doubt the best jazz guitar instruction I have ever seen! There is a wealth of information and Jimmy Bruno breaks it down so well. He even adds in ideas for practice. Glad to see it back on the market as a DVD. Well worth the investment.
OK - this is the second book, part of a trilogy by Herb. This is easily better than his first (swing blues) simply because of the excellent approach. He takes the standard "All The Things You Are" and shows you how to do a basic comp. Then he gives you a few bars of soloing ideas, for each chord of the progression. Finally, it ends with a separate long complete solo, putting it all together. It clearly shows you everything about Herb's playing - the chord formations he is thinking while soloing, tab, music AND fingering!! He also tries to remind you to focus on visualisation - and it works. The only downside is that the series is showing its age. The audio CD is very poor quality. Mind you, you can hear the notes, and the layout - just looks plain old!! Nevertheless, it works and is a simple approach.
If you have been playing a while, I think you will understand Herb's approach pretty quicky. This book is for beginners. If you are starting out, this book is good because it's basic, simple and has music, tab AND fingering for each note! The only book I know that does this!! It starts with one or two chord formations, their arpeggios and scales, simple Blues solos and there are a couple of more sophisticated Blues at the end. It even shows you the chord formation Herb is thinking when soloing over the changes. However - the CD audio is very poor quality, it does not teach or show you comping patterns as promised on the cover, and the solos have no backing to them whatsoever, so it makes it hard to hear the changes.
