![[Review] Your Ultimate Jazz Book: Modern Method](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDooPOxf1pA/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought this book on Amazon because having a musical background, in studies of music theory, I felt that this book would help me grow as a musician/ singer songwriter.
I look forward to receiving it, and putting forth the time in continuing education study . Thank you
Very welcome Charles! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Interesting ideas. Just ordered the book. Was astounded to hear that you went to university to study jazz guitar in your 60's. I thought I was the only one doing that.
See, there are more of you that you might think... Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
..thanks for posting this man, Larry was my private lesson teacher in 1979..glad that he’s still going strong..Berklee!
Nice Victor! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
I am a 1978 graduate and this was fun to watch! In my last year I was studying under Al Defino. I am glad that nowadays they seem to be more open to other styles other than jazz which was more like it was in my day. I thought my experience there was great anyway! I am going to check out your book!
@@richbailey8174 ..nice man, congratulations..the 5 semesters I spent there were invaluable..seems almost like several lifetimes ago but still fresh like yesterday at the same time..cheers
Wonderful interview/discussion with Larry Baione, Kim Perlak, and Sheryl Bailey! I agree with you, Bob, about their humanity, professionalism, and dedication to their students and their art. Big ❤’s all round! (PS: I just ordered the book, can’t wait to be overwhelmed by so much to learn!)
Glad you liked this Viv! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.

I purchased the old Levin Books for guitar and they did a great job of making me give up reading books to learn guitar theory. I really hope these guys made a better effort to produce a book that makes sense to a person who is not already trained and not a prodigy. I cannot discount the prior books, as theyre considered the gold standard, except for them reading like the intended audience is for other music professors.

It's Levitt, not Levin.

@@jazzguitartoday It's Leavitt, not Levin or Levitt. :) Those books were written 50 years ago, and the focus was a little different than what the needs are of most contemporary guitarists. One of that series' priorities was in helping guitarists play notation of music that they weren't familiar with. This new book (and some other recent and upcoming publications) is more aligned with the interests of most contemporary guitarists today, though there are certainly many lessons to be learned from the Leavitt books, which were revolutionary in their time, and still a treasured resource for many teachers and students.
@@jfeist1968 Good to know J. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Was an eye opener..will get book..interested. I'm in New Zealand,
Thanks for this as I had no idea there was a new book out! I have now purchased a copy! Prior to this I had the Beato Book which though infromative, I did not find to be well organized, felt like all over the place. I am hope this one is!
Let us know what you think. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
@@jazzguitartoday Yes, book is ariving this Thrsday. Oh and I am already a subscriber. 😃
@@jazzguitarneophyte-christo7988 Perfect... Enjoy!
I’m pretty new to jazz. I’ve been working my way through the Mickey Baker book. I’ll check this one out too.
Great idea! Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Hi any idea as to where can buy these books from ? Thanks
You can find it on Amazon. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
The book doesn't seem to be available in the UK, can you point me at any suppliers as UK Amazon says it is currently unavailable?
I don't know of any at this time. Perhaps check again at a later date or wait for the digital version. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
So I tried studying jazz in college (while in my 60's),,, curious, how did it go for you?
It is different for everyone. :)
Anyone know if this book would be useful if I already am working through the 3 volume Berklee Modern Method for Guitar (Leavitt)? Like is there different material in this one than I would find in those 3 books? TIA
Great question Chad. Perhaps someone will have a suggestion here. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.

Hello, may I know the title of this book by Sheryl Bailey? I couldn't find any educational books authored by her on the internet, only songbooks. Thank you.
@@sergeigagulovit’s a Mel bay book series is called “MBGU”
“MBGU Jazz Moveable Shapes: Concepts for Reharmonizing II-V-I's “
I would give just about anything to be more knowledgeable about theory and to be able for it be as simple as reading English to me. My training was all over the place and I was never able to wrap it all up in one package. Berkeley would eat me alive!😂
It is never too late to learn and at your own speed Eddie.(Perhaps not at Berklee) Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.

No link to purchase book. Then after finding book and confirming it is the correct one, no digital version?!?

@@jazzguitartoday thanks! hope they put out a digital version. this is the perfect content for computer or tablet. it’s truly baffling not to offer that
@@inlandbott It may be in the works. :)
I saw an interview with Martin Taylor on this channel recently where the interviewer said he was 71 years old. He looks almost 20 years younger than that!
I think Martin is around 65/66.
@@lesmorton7662 Yes, I think you're right about that. However I was referring to the interviewer. He was interviewing Martin and said he was 71. He looks more like 55 to me!
Excellent video, great people.
As to the book: MAJOR FAIL............... It is not spiral bound. A classic phrase when applied to getting someone to buy a product, make it convenient.
Yes, I realize I can have it spiral bound. But this is a teaching implement, a reference, that is impossible to keep open. Add a buck or two and have it spiral bound.
I ordered it and will head to my printer and have it bound, be inconvenienced, and pay more than if the book was already bound.
Good to know Jeff. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
@@jazzguitartoday Already subscribed and liked and liked and liked. Great stuff.
the real fail is no digital
@@inlandbott Just because there is not one right now does not mean there won't be in the near future.
@@jazzguitartoday Digital editions will be released shortly. And lay-flat binding has proven better than spiral binding in a number of ways. It is more durable and it doesn't damage furniture/clothes/piano desks the way spiral binding does. Hal Leonard has been fielding customer feedback on hundreds of thousands of print publications for 75 years, and has found that spiral binding generates the most complaints.
It is a jazz school, I as a rocker, was disappointed
The same musical concepts can be applied to Rock. Thanks for watching and for your input! Please feel free to Like, Share and Subscribe to our channel.
Close to a bait and switch. Not enough about the book. Which I've already bought.

@@jazzguitartoday Sorry to be negative. So let me share something positive that might help. I've loved jazz for a long time. Ironically, not jazz guitar, other than Django and Jim Hall. I don't play jazz, but Tomo Fujita, who had changed my guitar playing life with his videos on triads, connected me to jazz guitar. Recently I was looking at Hendrix and trying to understand extensions. And RUclips showed me an interview with Tomo where he explains why everyone needs to understand jazz guitar, using Little Wing as an example. I mentioned in a comment on Tomo's channel that Jerry Garcia liked Charlie Christian - he said Christian was the first guy to play a guitar like a horn (and Armstrong is one of my heroes) - and Tomo pointed out that he taught John Mayer Christian's performance of Rose Room at Berklee. Since I like Benny Goodman I'd heard it before, but hadn't listened carefully to the guitar. Didn't know enough either. Anyway, searching for Rose Room, Tomo's video on the song was the second link. From Garcia to Christian to Tomo to Mayer... to me. So I'll give Rose Room a shot.
There are all kinds of entry ways into jazz. But they aren't always obvious. I played the trumpet as a kid. I was very good, but I was a reader. I probably played arpeggios, but had zero idea what they were. I liked marches, but didn't want to march. So I quit. If I'd heard Armstrong's Potato Head Blues I might not have. Later, when I bought Kind of Blue because of a Rolling Stone article on jazz records, where every critic listed it, it blew me away. No one ever told me you could breathe into a horn like that. I'm more familiar with the jazz past than today. My last jazz concerts were Benny Carter, and McCoy Tyner and Emily Remler. I've also see Sun Ra a lot. All dead I think. Even then, my friend who ran the jazz department at a cd store couldn't get his nephews to listen to their own musical heritage.
I know RUclips presents an opportunity to change that. But no idea how to do it. IMO the danger of a music school like Berklee or GIT is that students come out with knowledge and chops... then what. Communation is more important than technical skill IMO. (Rick Beato can interesting - great interview with Sting with the take-home message
... Bach,, Bach,, Bach - but though I may be elitist, I'm not sure his jazz is my jazz.) I've returned to guitar seriously because in this crazy world, it seems like one of the few things worth doing and offers a road to sanity. Good luck.
@@mikem668 Every musician is on their own unique journey. Formalized school settings provide structure to those students that learn that way. The idea is for them to be prepared to perform in any setting. In addition, students meet other musicians while they are there creating a network and often building relationships that last a lifetime.
@@jazzguitartoday I understand that. And I'm sure the relationships are important. However... it's not clear that that kind of training produces the best music. I also believe that someone can be over-trained. Great art often requires limits. The two non-teaching musicians I know of that went to Berklee are John Mayer and Molly Tuttle. Mayer left after one year. Tuttle probably graduated. People used to go to GIT to become session musicians. Those gigs dried up.
I'm not arguing that training isn't useful in their journey through life to someone who loves music. I'm questioning its overall importance. Classical and jazz are probably the two kinds of Western music that require the most training. But are they thriving? I love both, but most of the folk, blues, and rock music didn't seem to require training as much as talent. I know many of the great jazz musicians were middle class and did have some serious training. Miles went to Julliard and Marcus Miller played the clarinet before picking up the bass. There's some Julliard connection, but I forget what.
I'm making a guess and a claim. The guess is that most of the great musicians post 1950 did not have training. And the claim is that most of my favorite music benefits from the rawness of being untrained. My top three musicians of the 20th century, in order, are Louis Armstrong, Muddy Waters, and Bob Dylan. AFAIK none of them had anything like the kind of training you receive in music school.
@@mikem668 As I said, everybody's journey is different and it is up to each of us to choose the way we can and want to go. Again, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this matter
say what you will about Berklee, but I don't know how anyone can justify spending $267,000 (on average!!!) For music school- that really, really rubs me the wrong way.
