We start out with a description of jazz chords with regard to the Rhythm Changes, voice leading and the spelling of complex chords. You'll get experience playing two popular progressions of complex chord shapes, what I call the MVP (Most Valuable Progression) and the VIP (Very Important Progression). Other topics include modulation from key to key, comping and mystery chord analysis.\n\nThen comes an introduction to the use of scales and modes in improvising jazz lead lines. We seek out the C-A-G-E-D scale shapes in the Key of C all around the neck of the guitar.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nWhat are jazz chords?\nRhythm changes in the Key of C\nPreliminary issues\nMinimizing redundant notes\nClosed voicings\nExtensions and alterations\nSubstitutions\nThe Major 6th substitution\nRhythm changes up the neck in C\nRecap of the modified rhythm changes\nModified rhythm changes in G\nBasic jazz chord roundup\nVoice leading\nRhythm changes in G\nThe spelling of complex chords\nWorksheets\nOur favorite chord progression the MVP\nModifications to the MVP\nThe flat-five substitution\nOn to the VIP\nG7 variants and worksheets\nModifications to the VIP\nThe flat-five substitution\nThe MVP and VIP around the fretboard\n\nModulating with a 2-5-1 progression\nThe 1234567 progression\nStripped down comping\nExamples of jazz standards\nMystery chord analysis\nScales: Jazz a la Mode\nModes in the Key of C\nIonian mode\nDorian mode\nPhrygian mode\nLydian and Mixolydian modes\nAeolian and Locrian modes\nModes shmodes?\nWorksheet on the modes\nImprovising on the modes\nArpeggios first, then scales\nC-shape modes\nA-shape modes\nG-shape modes\nE-shape modes\nD-shape modes\nC-shape modes (high)\nImprovising with the E- and C-shape modes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0966502930\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0966502930.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bruce Emery\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Sheet_music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
