Book Reviews of Jazz Guitar Chord System (Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Private Lessons)
Book Review: Not worth it.
Summary: 1 Stars
A student showed up at my place with a spare copy of this... er, book.
I must say I have rarely seen anything so needlessly complicated
and useless. The idea that any given set of tones can have different interpretations is of course nothing new, but if I am to learn a voicing that is irksome to grab, at least it should sound good. Few of these do.
What really gets me is the title: "The essential guide to Jazz chord voicings & substitutions". What nerve! It is no such thing!
This might have a potential audience among those who already know every common jazz chord, and are looking for a challenge, but if you are advanced and energetic enough to "do the work", you are certainly capable of coming up with a system of your own to top this. Doing so is also more fun.
Once I managed to grasp what the author was trying to say, I immediately spotted half-a-dozen ways to improve this mess, but I can't be bothered.
This could have served as a coaster, were it not for the aggravation I feel by looking at it. How anyone can give this thing five stars is beyond me. My copy goes in the bin.
