What our customer's say!

"Best Comping book available", As a professor of music at a university in New York, I consider Jazz
Guitar Comping to be a must have for all my guitar students. This
book excels at detailing how to use chord voicings in a musical way
(rather than page after page of chord grids that never address how to
connect the chords when actually making music). Starting with simple
voice leading illustrations using basic jazz voicings all the way to
complex chord construction using both traditional and modern
approaches, this book covers a lot of ground. The section on Rhythms is
great at outlining many possibilities. I also like the fact
that Green doesn't bog you down with too much text. Everything is
explained concisely and then you start playing. Simply the best book
on comping available.

"Too many errors for my taste", I ordered all three books (currently) by Andrew Green on Amazon due to the bundle pricing. All the reviews said wonderful things about the books. And I really enjoy reading the lastest techniques and teachings. I'm an intermediate player, having done 4 years at a major university for Jazz. That was 15+ years ago but still I consider myself fairly decent.

I received the book and noticed right away the section on chord voicings was quite poor. Some had unforgivable stretches on page 10, the first page of chord voicings, entitled "basic chord voicings". As Joe Pass said if you having to stretch that far your doing it all wrong. The example I can give is the C major 6 chord found on the first group of chords. There are four other ways, that come to the top of my head, to play that chord in the third position better then shown. If this is a teaching book, the author is teaching some really wacky chord fingerings right off the bat.

So, it took me a day to get over this, I start thinking it's just a style of teaching - the author wants to push you further etc. Then I came across something that makes me wish I could simply return the books. On the same page he displays a C Major 7. The chord is shown with the A,F,D,Bb from the high E to the D string, the Bb being on the 8th fret. Last time I checked those series of notes are a Bb major 7. There is no excuse for these type of mistakes on the first 10 pages of a teaching book.

Anyway - if I find this many errors on first ten pages - I have to give the review 1 star. And I have to say - I don't write alot of reviews - I just think if I can save some poor fellow 20-30 dollars then I will feel better.

"Don't buy if you can't read music", Great book but you better know how to read music. No tab and very few chord diagrams.

"the most comprehensive jazz guitar comping book", This is the most comprehensive jazz guitar comping book I've come across. It's loaded with information and better yet, Andrew Green has a great way of presenting things that make it easier to apply than other methods. I also own Andrews 'Structures' book and am finding these two books to be favorites. It's easy to follow and apply, and there's a lot of meat to the books.

I compared this to Jim Fergusons's Comping book and it's a no contest for me. Andrew's better in presenting things and provides much more. The only thing it doesn't touch is chord melody playing, which is understandable. The best book to me on chord melody is Robert Conti's Chord Melody Assembly Line book.

Like the 'Structures' book, there is a decent amount of reading (as in notational reading and no tab) so I wouldn't say his series is made for the beginner. But if you can read a little and have some experience but are just getting into jazz, then I highly recommend Andrew's series.

"Great book about comping", This is the third book I've purchased by Andrew Green. I'm a big fan of how he presents information. 'Jazz Guitar Comping', like his other books makes learning simple. What I find so attractive about all of these books is that instead of getting an overwhelming amount of information, I get a simple and concise explanation. This simple explanation can then be applied to my own explorations of comping, soloing, technique, etc.. I like this format much better than books I've acquired in the past that immediately give me, let's say, 300 chords to learn and leave it at that without much of a learning system.

'Jazz Guitar Comping' not only presents information I've seen before in much simpler terms, but also has some great ideas that are new to me. The multi-use voicings chapter, much like the multiple uses of structures in 'Jazz Guitar Structures', is wonderfully informative.

I'm a teacher so I'm familiar with a number of learnign styles. This book seems to work well for those with a self-driven, concept-based learning style. It's very good about explaning concepts and principles rather than relying on memorization. These concepts allow for experimentation and trial by the student. This is a learning method that yields great results because of all of the application.

Thank you Andrew Green for another good guitar book.
