(Berklee Guide). Learn the essential tools and skills for playing jazz
guitar. This practical guidebook will help you master the theory,
technique, and conceptual framework for how to play jazz: comping
chords, soloing, and playing with expression, facility, and good hand
health. The accompanying recording provides demonstrations of key
technical concepts with play-along tracks to help you develop phrasing
and location concepts on the fingerboard. It also provides examples to
train your ear with call-and-response exercises similar to what you
might be asked to perform at an audition or jury. A unique section on
audition preparation for colleges and professional music programs, with
an extended interview with Berklee College of Music's director of
admissions, will help you advance in your career.
