Kelly Thompson

Picking up this book was the best decision I ever made

Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I can't recommend this book enough. With every page of this book, it will turn you into an exponentially better musician. Be forewarned: this book is painful, it takes hard work and dedication and hundreds of hours of practise. Many lessons are transcribing, but the effort is well well worth it. For myself, it's taken me over six months to get ten pages in. This book will take you years to complete, but every lesson will add several layers and dimensions to your playing and probably turn you into a professional musician. I plan to continue with book 2 in 2025 (lol)

You'll learn beautiful jazz chords

Reviewed in Canada on June 7, 2021

Slightly challenging, but if you put in the efforts, the result is highly rewarding. I learned several new chord shapes that sound awesome!

Meant for someone who knows at least the basic open chords

Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Wow. This book is deceptively difficult. This book mainly focuses on learning new jazzy chords. You will need knowledge of music theory such as your scales and chord degrees because Mickey doesn't really explain any of the theory behind his techniques. But it's a challenging read and will definitely be a good book in any aspiring guitarists. Plus it's dirt cheap for the knowledge you'll get.

The lessons in this book have changed my song writing. This isn't a beginner book but if you are willing to plug through i was able to teach some of this to my more advanced students. Great book for any guitarists shelf

I was happy to see this book still in print

Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2017

I was happy to see this book still in print. Everyone I admire as a complete guitarist seems to have had this book at one time or another.
The first few pages will keep you busy for a while. Highly recommended.

Warning...no tabs. For players who don't read music you will be in trouble later on in in this book. I bought it for the chords and theory. But as I work through other books I have I can add that to the chords and theory and go from there. 10 bucks? Ya can't beat it.

Essenziale e validissimo

Reviewed in Italy on January 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

Validissimo, da praticare con cura meglio se con la guida di un maestro per capire il senso degli esercizi. Gli accordi e le progressioni devono entrare nelle mani e gli studi cromatici aiutano a memorizzare note e posizioni jazz sul manico. Tipografia vintage con personalità.

Eines der besten Bücher für das Selbststudium der Jazzgitarre...!

Reviewed in Germany on December 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

Das Buch von Mickey Baker ist aus meiner Sicht der absolute Hammer! Es ist eines der besten Gitarren-Bücher, die ich für mich durchgearbeitet habe! Wer sich noch nicht so gut mit Jazz-Chords auskennt, ist hier bestens beraten! Nicht ohne Grund weist Robben Ford in seinen Videos und Interviews wiederholt auf dieses Buch hin, wenn es um seine Aha-Erlebnisse geht! Behutsam wird man an gängige Akkordfolgen herangeführt. Mit der Zeit wird man auch ohne Theoriekenntnisse wichtige Zusammenhänge und Verwandtschaften von Akkorden erkennen und in sein Spiel integrieren. Man sollte sich unbedingt die Zeit nehmen und den Empfehlungen des Autors folgen, alle Übungen in die gängigsten Tonarten zu transponieren! Genial finde ich die Nummerierung der Griffdiagramme! So kann man sich mit 33 Griffen durch dieses Buch, aber auch durch wahrscheinlich alle Jazz-Standard manövrieren! Das gleiche Konzept gibt es auch von dem Autor Roger Edison in seinem Buch „Jazz Rhythm Guitar“, welches ebenso sehr gut und leider nur antiquarisch erhältlich ist! Wer nun dieses Nummern-System erfunden hat, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis. … Im zweiten Teil geht es um Singlenote-Improvisation. Hier werden „Mini-Arpeggien“, oder „Runs“, verschiedener Griffbilder chromatisch über das ganze Griffbrett verschoben und geübt. Dabei bemerkt man dann die vorab in den Akkodübungen verdeutlichten Verwandtschaften bzw. Austauschbarkeiten (Substitute) von Akkorden, die sich auch im Solospiel anwenden lassen! Die ersten praktischen Übungen dazu werden im Blues dargestellt, später findet man auch Anwendungsbeispiele über „Dark Eyes“. ... Ich habe dieses Buch für mich vor über 20 Jahren entdeckt und finde es genial! Es ist allerdings eine Geschmackssache, ob man die (blaue) Neuauflage nutzen möchte oder die (schwarz/gelbe) Erstausgabe aus den 1960-ern. Ich besitze beide Ausgaben, habe die „blaue“ Ausgabe durchgearbeitet und finde inzwischen die alte Originalausgabe auch sehr sympathisch, spiele überwiegend nun darin und schwelge in Erinnerungen. Uneingeschränkte Kauf-und Übe-Empfehlung! Ich hoffe, ich konnte helfen!
