Summary: Ideal "how to" guide for novice players.
Review: In Jazz Guitar Chords And Accompaniment, Yoichi Arakawa provides an ideal guide for novice guitar players wanting to become proficient jazz guitarists. Yoichi covers the full range of aspects and techniques, guiding the beginner through a step-by-step approach to such basics as tuning the guitar, reading basic rhythms an and chord theory to a wide variety of guitar chords and accompaniment patterns and styles readily applicable to playing jazz. Each chord is introduced through a large-easy-to-follow chord diagram. Yoichi starts with the simplest rhythms and patterns and gradually progresses to more complex and divers styles. Jazz Guitar Chords And Accompaniment is an ideal "how to" introduction that includes triads, 6th, 7th, extended, and altered chords plus four-to-the-bar, comping, arpeggios, bossa nova, contemporary accompaniment, and more. Highly recommended for personal, music department, and community library music performance instructional and reference collections.
