Jazz Guitar Method

Summary: Good foundation for chords
Review: The chord section of Lee's book is very logical and builds up from triads, giving the student a very complete understanding of the basic building blocks of harmony. The chapters concerning solo playing are approached in a similar way, so they only scratch the surface in a very guitaristic way of moving pre-set melodic items around according to the changes. For chords, it is one of the most logical approaches I've seen so far.
