Corey Christiansen: Essential Jazz Lines in the Style of Grant Green

Grant Green was one of the most innovative jazz guitarists of the 1960s. His horn-like lines, original tone, and superb sense of time elevated him to being one of Blue-Note Records first call session players as well as a respected bandleader. This book covers many of the techniques Grant used in his playing and provides many melodic lines in the style of Grant Green for minor, dominant seventh, short and long ii-V major and minor progressions. Chapters on double-slurs, double-stops, pentatonic and blues scales as well as the basics of the jazz language will help guitarists understand how to play the music of Grant Green. Presented in standard notation, tab and fretboard diagrams, this book comes with a play along CD that will assist guitarists in mastering this material. Guitar, Bk/CD, 56 pages
