Members thamiam Posted November 21, 2002 Members Share Posted November 21, 2002 The Jazz Theory Book by Mark LevineThe Bible. I've been reading this thing for years, and I learn something new or understand something better every single time.Get it at Jamey Aebersold's Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terje Posted November 21, 2002 Members Share Posted November 21, 2002 That is indeed a great one. Another book I'd really recommend is Mick Goodrick's The Advancing Guitarist. Add George Bouchard's Intermediate Jaz Improvisation and you'll have lots of ways to apply the theory too. Lots of practice tunes and practical ideas. These three books are the foundation of my theory library. You don't need more. All you need is to actually learn what's in these three books.

Yeah, where were I? Maybe in Sri Lanka. And what would I know about the cuatro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sonny56 Posted November 22, 2002 Members Share Posted November 22, 2002 Sheesh, don't take offense. I guess I should've added a "winky face". I thought at one time you mentioned you play the balalaika or bouzouki? I was hoping someone with experience with stringed instruments other than guitar could help me out. If I rubbed you the wrong way, it was unintenional.I made a post asking for help and got zero responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
