    About this ebook

    This book explores voice leading using drop2 chords.
    Voice leading is the technique used to move smoothly between chords. It is very useful in comping and solo playing.
    This book presents more than 125 exercises based only on drop2 chords and C major/minor as reference tonality. Used chord progressions are the basic foundation for common jazz standards: diatonic major II V7 I and chromatic major II V7 I

      Basic and to the point, good exercises for be beginners
    • 2/5
      The small, low resolution images are too hard to read online.
    • 1/5
      Having played jazz guitar for over 40 years and taught for just about that long I think there should be a disclaimer for books such as these. The author starts the book with drop 2 chords on the four lowest pitched strings. There are a couple of problems with this - one is the voicings tend to get muddy in that register, and the second is it's generally not a good idea to put the chord extensions down there because they are not bass notes. The author is supposedly targeting this book to beginner to intermediate guitarists, yet his instruction is page after page of these kinds of voicings, with no commentary except his suggestion at the beginning of the book to play the chords over standards. What makes this even less useful is we don't know who wrote this or if he or she can even really play the guitar well. This type of "here is every possibility" book seems to be pretty popular these days, but with no context it's just another invitation for a novice player to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material.
