Attn James, do you have any recommendations on a book for someone starting on jazz guitar? Truly asking for a friend.

would this be for someone self-teaching? And how much other guitar experience/knowledge do they have, and how much more general musical experience/knowledge do they have?

Let's say pretty knowledgeable musically and an accomplished electronic music producer, but picking up the guitar again after a long absence

Like can they read? Do they know scales? Theory?

Sund4r knows of some good Berklee books, I think. I really like Mick Goodrick’s The Advancing Guitarist, but it’s not quite a method book, more of a deep, how-to-think-about things book.

I love Ted Dunbar's books, but I think they are out of print. They're also a little out there and not 100% user friendly. I think there are pdf copies floating around on the internet.

Ha, I almost posted a few minutes ago “Well, Hurting studied with Ted Dunbar, so...”

Do they already know how to play guitar and want to learn jazz?Anyway now I remember the very first book I found useful was Arnie Berle’s Chords and Progressions for Jazz and Popular Guitar
― Next Time Might Be Hammer Time (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 14 January 2021 16:18 (three years ago) link
Thanks all. Scales & theory yes, idk about traditional notation, but I passed these on.
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 14 January 2021 16:26 (three years ago) link
A lot of that stuff can be learned from non-guitar books tbh

And is probably better done so
Chords on the other hand....

Hey, here's a new interview with my hero that just came out: https://jazzguitartoday.com/2021/01/jazz-guitar-today-discussion-with-paul-meyers/

There is just some really good guitar instructional videos out there. There was one Italian jazz one I found that had a thing on just not moving position or hand and working on intervals right where you are at that kind of opened up some things about the instrument for me.
This one is entertaining. Playing these chords on a guitar are a bitch, but I was messing around doing some jamming with a drum machine having the bass line play the root and playing off it to get this sound.
Hendrix uses this a bunch but he plays it as a arpeggio lick doing that slide up to get the 9.

Posting this even though it says fantastic in the title and therefore I shouldn't. I don't know if it's even that chopsy but I am just a fanboy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxoJkDQdNBI

Yeah that's probably not super high on the degree of difficulty scale but very nicely played

He has a lovely record out right now, does not seem to have caught fire yet (<1000 play counts on spotify). He's only in his early 20s though and I have a feeling he will become a mainstay of the whole Americana/Bluegrass circuit if he sticks it out.

Def gonna watch that later. I've spent a couple years now learning bluegrass flatpicking and I've been thinking I'd like to add country picking to my skillset.

i didn't realize this thread was on IMM; wish i would've posted the video on ILM. because it's just as interesting to non-players, i think, and was a blast to watch even for somebody not trying to master the history of 20th cen. electric guitar

sorry, electric guitar in country music
