I'm learning jazz guitar from mel bay jazz christmas book

[mbengs1]

i acquired a solo jazz guitar book full of Christmas songs on amazon. i don't have a jazz guitar yet. but it's fun to learn. once i find things predictable with the jazz chordal structure, i should be able to figure out songs on jazz guitar myself.

And, you will if it keeps your interest piqued. Jazz is a genre I tend to break teeth on so it's decidedly not for me. But, good motivation is universal and so is Mel Bay. Dude taught me all I needed to know about Mr Travis' fingers in my way back years. Good luck with the jazz. I agree that a classical is a better learning tool for that.

Best of luck. I'd love to be able to play jazz but I can't improvise worth a darn although I can scat a little.

Try the Mickey Baker book. All the practical comping you need. The cool part is all the shapes are strumable. No hunting for strings or avoiding open ones.
