Arnie Berle – Chords and Progressions for Jazz and Popular Guitar | Guitar Sheet Music and Instruction Songbook | Jazz Guitar Chord Theory and Comping Techniques | Music Sales America

The book is super easy to follow, there’s so much to practice, I spent about two weeks on just one page getting better! I would recommend for anyone looking to get better at guitar and theory

I play many styles of music, but Jazz is my favorite, as the chords are the warmest of them all.You don't need to pound on the guitar, do a bunch of bends, play the same two notes to monotony, or have any accompaniment to sound full bodied and just right all by yourself. Blues does this to a point, but just does not use the full bodied chords that Jazz does.Jazz chords are not necessarily easy, but well worth it once you have them down.The book goes through the types of chord forms until around page 31 and then you are off with the actual progressions.I am an old Wes Montgomery fan and can remember many good times with his music and now I can actually play someof it.

This is the first book I have bought that explains how chords relate to each other, and I am interested in learning the many shapes it offers. Learning about inversions has been very eye opening. I will spend a lot of time as my hands become acclimated to the new shapes. It is FAR superior to the encyclopedic chord dictionaries I have purchased in the past.

Purchased for my student who's taking lessons per the instructor's request. It is working out well in that regard working with the instructor. Book was in good shape and properly delivered. No issues.

This is more of a reference book. Didn't do much for me - a lot of this can be found on the internet.

Very simple, easy to follow. Perfect beginner guitar book.

Great beginner book for jazz, If you are serious about learning, you want to start with this one and then move on to the Jody Fisher "Jazz Guitar". Clear easy to understand, and it certainly has applications outside of Jazz.

Arnie Berle is one is the best pedagogists for guitar. A thousand songs can be strummed from his awesome ideas.

Es muy buen material de estudio, lo recomiendo.

Love it

ok

This is an excellent guide from progressing beginners/intermediate to advanced if you want to understand harmony (basically chord progressions and scales) relating to the guitar. It covers basic major scale harmony (chords), how to apply these to songs, extended chords e.g. maj 7th, 9th etc, altered chords e.g. G7#5, and also simple chord substition e.g. Em7 instead of Cmaj and advanced chord substitutions e.g. the b5 substitution. I have a degree in Jazz studies, have been a professional guitarist for 20yrs and I think this is an excellent book.

Dieses Buch ist unglaublich gut, wenn man es konzentriert durcharbeitet, hat man wirklich ein umfassendes Wissen wie Alles mit Allem zusammenhängt. Der Autor hat sich sehr viel Mühe gemacht, thie icing on the cake wäre noch eine zusätzliche CD, wo alle Beispielstücke auch zu hören wären. Aber das ist Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Werde dieses Buch noch lange als Nachschlagewerk nutzen können, denn es bereichert mein Gitarrespiel wirklich.... Die Akkorde werden verständlich hergeleitet, so daß keine dicken Akkordbücher notwendig sind, weil man sich dann jeden Akkord selbst zusammenbasteln kann.Danke Arnie für dieses Buch ... Good work!
