You know sometimes it’s nice to turn off the computer and study from a book.
In this video I am going to share my favourite jazz books with you.
I feel that these 3 books have made the most impact on my playing.
I need to say that none of these books are easy or quick methods to learning jazz.
You really need to stick with them over months and years to get their full intended value.
But, if you are committed then I am sure you will each one useful!

![[Review] Your Ultimate Jazz Book: Modern Method](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDooPOxf1pA/mqdefault.jpg)
Here’s a couple of books that blew my mind: Mick Goodrick’s “The Advancing Guitarist”; Alan Kingstone’s “The Barry Harris Harmonic Method for Guitar”
There’s so much I’ve learned from
The Advancing Guitarist but I haven’t looked at the Barry Harris book. Thanks for the recommendation!
Cool 😎 thanks! I got 3 jody fisher books which I have learnt a lot out of and a berklee jazz chord book. I love my books!
I've been using the Berklee method books for years. Another great book is Joe Pass Guitar Chords
Thanks for the advice Jamie!
No problem!
Excellent choice for 3 books. Thanks
Cheers!
Rock solid advice!
Thank you!
Great video, Jamie. Appreciate you taking the time to walk through them. Am a fan of the Berklee Modern Method series as well. The Beginning Jazz Guitar series by Jody Fisher is also worth checking out.
Thanks!
I agree with some of the suggestions below but would add the two Jimmy Bruno DVDs "No Nonsense Jazz Guitar" and "Inside Outside Jazz Guitar". Not exactly books but they have booklets (50/70 pages) with them. Still available on Amazon.
Excellent video!
Great video.
I'm a great lover of books in general, I love to read. I own a very good number of the most recommended Jazz & theory books for bass & guitar but for me personally, I haven't found any that have really cracked open Jazz playing.
I find they leave me with more questions than answers & when I try to use them as reference books to answer specific questions I have as a rule found they fail to provide answers despite them being well indexed. Having tried for many years now I've come to the position that one to one teaching absolutely must accompany any book study because our minds are all different. only a good teacher can help guide us through the vast amount of knowledge out there. All books are written from a musicians personal perspective, that perspective works great for them but might well not for others.
I agree with you 100%!
Not bebop plectrum style but I have really got a lot from the fingerstyle jazz book “Through Chord Melody and Beyond “ by Howard Morgen. Although I do not understand all of it the building blocks and arrangements of some well known standards are quite spectacular.
I also found these books useful: Chords & Progressions for Jazz & Popular Guitar by Arnie Berle; Jazz Cords & Accompaniment by Yoichi AraKawa; The Complete Jazz Guitar Method by Jody Fisher, there are three volumes; Mickey Baker Jazz Guitar
It's really a confusing world to get a footing in. Jazz guitar is compositional as well as a steep curve for the technique alone. I used to have shelves, if not a wall of books as what I hoped would be my panacea. In the end, it was Mick Goodrick's Advancing Guitarist that, in its own oblique way pulled the big picture into one frame and gave the most creative way to go about learning all the other things I needed.
Next was a series of books by Mike Eliot that taught me how to make chord melodies with gorgeous examples.
William Leavitt's Reading Studies for guitar was useful for melody and reading. I'd tell my younger self to live with these.
I had the Joe Pass books. Great if you are interested in immersion in the bebop sound.
Bleakanddevine, Very nice man and 100% jazz guitar enthusiast. Bought my Mesa Boogie Studio 22 from him.
Seems like a good player too!
Which book would you say has the most useful approach for improvising over Rhythm Changes. I’ve looked at Joe Pass, but his book appears to have only a very limited and rather dull exercise.
Aebersold Vol.47: I Got Rhythm Changes In All Keys
To think I started in the 60s working through Bert Weedon’s “Play in a Day”. I have a few jazz books but few have helped me more than tuition on you tube. The Joe Pass book looked good though….
I’m a Bert Weldon man! Purchase my copy of “Play in a Day” at the same time as my 1st guitar a Hofner Senator. This was 1962, a long time ago.
