Understanding Chord Progressions for Guitar by Arnie Berle
Music Sales America | August 1, 1995 | English | ISBN: 0825614880 | PDF | 64 pages | 7.1 MB

Learn some of the most frequently used progressions in folk, blues, pop, and jazz. This is a great little book to start jazzing. Very helpful for me. Due to the small size, the information is very straightforward and clear (notes, tabs, roman numerals and chord diagrams are all used!). It is understandable, however, that one reviewer below gave this book one star and another gave it five stars. This is because the book is ONLY an outline of jazz guitar that just begins to scratch the surface. It gives basic tools (chord extensions, substitutions, various progressions etc.) and a quick example by which to learn each concept. No musical guidance or application is given. If this is what you want, this is the book for you. Overall, it's great for learning what can be done but gives no advancing information beyond that. This book is a staring point for jazz guitar that is best if supplemented by an instruction book that explains and tells how to use the tools from this book.
