Jazz Guitar
Books :
Reviewing
Books in my
Library
Jazz guitar
books and
recordings are
the two main source of learning
and
growth
for jazz guitarists. Every aspiring jazzman should possess  at least a
few specific texts on music.
They should usually consist of : a method, some technical exercises,
transcriptions, books on the philosophy of practice, etc.
In this
section of the
website, I
will share with you reviews of the best
jazz guitar books on the market. And it comes strictly from my experience
:
I
will
only review
the
ones I own and found
particularly helpful for learning and teaching!
Some of these are masterclass DVD's or come with an audio CD, some
others a plain text and music notation.
I hope they are as
useful to you as
they were to me!
