Jazz guitar guru Jim Ferguson-
the author of the highly
acclaimed All Blues For Jazz
Guitar: Comping Styles, Chords
& Grooves (MB96842BCD)-again
helps you take your playing to
the next level with Comping
Standards For Jazz Guitar
(MB22130BCD), his most recent
offering. Using common jazz
chord progressions, the book
takes you through three
primary comping approaches:
straight-four, moving bass
lines, and combo variants. In
the process, you'll learn
numerous chord voicings, ways
to organize them, and a wide
variety of dynamic rhythmic
figures used in jazz. Other
highlights include the use of
guides and pivots, chord
substitution, mastering
rootless chords, playing with
a pianist, inverting partial
harmonic structures, Latin
comping, chord scales,
handling modal tunes, and
mixing voicings. And the
highly detailed music examples
cover most of the common jazz
keys. The material comes to
life on the accompanying 17-
track CD. In both standard
notation and tablature.
