About Berklee Jazz Standards For Solo Guitar
Product Description (Berklee Guide). Learn ten jazz guitar standards arranged for solo guitar. These performance-ready arrangements demonstrate different ways to interpret jazz standards and render them for solo guitar performance. Each includes a technical introduction from the arranger discussing his motivations and identifying some of the defining aspects of each approach such as the use of line cliche, harmony, song form, and modality. In learning these arrangements you will gain insight into how to craft your own solos. The music is presented in both standard notation and tab. Arrangements include: Dedicated to You * I'm Glad There Is You * My Foolish Heart * Stella by Starlight * You Don't Know What Love Is * and more. The book includes an audio CD with performances of all the arrangements by the author. Review Matt Warnock - Guitar International Getting into the mind of the arranger is just as beneficial as learning the tunes themselves, as it provides players with the material they need to design their own arrangements, and this is what makes this book worthy of inclusion in any studying guitarist's library. With fun tunes, interesting and musical arrangements, background on each chart and a fun CD to listen to, John Stein's book is a solid learning tool that will provide knowledge and musical repertoire for any guitarist that works through these tunes in their practice routine. Highly recommended. From the Back Cover Jim Hall - John Stein has written so much more than a great guitar book. This is a complete musical education: each piece has a history, a beautiful arrangement, an analysis of the arrangement, and a lovely personal story about it. This book is unique! Kenny Burrell - John Stein's book of ten solo guitar arrangements is a great choice of material with some very special solo guitar arrangements. The book is accompanied by a cd on which John gives an excellent performance. This collection is further evidence of John's ability as an extraordinary guitarist and teacher. Roni Ben Hur - John Stein's book, "Berklee Jazz Standards For Guitar," is an inspiring source for aspiring jazz guitarists. John's arrangements are beautiful. And the insight he shares about his harmonic choices, as well as his explanations of the song structures and various aspects of the arrangements are chock-full of pertinent knowledge. Lots to dig one's teeth into! Gene Bertoncini - These are all Important songs for the jazz guitarist's repertoire. Each arrangement has melodic and harmonic examples that can be learned for performing and ear training purposes. For example, in "Out of Nowhere," John introduces a harmonized section using quartal voicings that could be considered a form of "shout chorus," and he puts the melody in the lower register for a change of color -- some ideas that can be analyzed and added to your arsenal. Mimi Fox - This is an excellent basic primer for jazz guitarists wanting to explore the richness of solo playing. Well conceived, harmonically sound, and easy to understand. About the Author Guitarist/arranger John Stein is an associate professor at Berklee College of Music. He is a frequent contributor to Just Jazz Guitar Magazine, where several of these arrangements first appeared.
