Personal Review: Chord-Melody Guitar: A Guide to Combining Chords and Melody to Create Solo Arrangements in Jazz and Pop Styles (Musicians Institute: Private Lessons) by Bruce Buckingham I was fortunate enough to study Chord Melody electives with Bruce at GIT recently and this book covers the underlying skills to create nice chord movements. Note that no Jazz standard complete chord melodies are included and emphasis is more on the chord part than the process of adapting a melody. Some of the material here is part of the GIT Rhythm Level III core class, which Bruce also wrote and this book could also be used as a nice followon to 'Rhythm Guitar - The Complete Guide'. The material is intermediate/advanced and Chapter 14 - More Chord Voicings contains plenty of fingerings I had never seen before, but which sound great if you can play them. Since there is no 'Look inside' on Amazon yet I will list chapters;An overall fretboard view, Shells, Inversions, Harmonized scales, Chord scales, Slash chords, Harmonic moves, Voice leading, Cadences, Moving Lines, Substitution, Diminished chords, Chordal Interpretation, More Chord voicings.
