Jazz Tunes Qwikguide (Softcover Book/CD)

This compact Qwikguide book offers 51 original jazz-influenced tunes in standard notation and tablature with suggested chord changes. Several keys and time signatures are explored in depth with adventurous harmonies and often syncopated rhythms. The companion CD includes all of the selections presented in the book.Once again, author and company president William Bay shows his skill at writing engaging tunes with a pedagogic thrust. Jazz Tunes can be used as a challenging sight-reading sourcebook for private lessons or self-study leading to enhanced comprehension of the fretboard. While intended for the plectrum guitarist, these melodic pieces with their occasional forays to the mid to upper fretboard, make good reading material for the fingerstyle or classic player as well.
