Jazz Structures for the New Millenium

Joe Diorio is an accomplished guitarist and composer as well as a respected music educator. In this book he combines his skills to present innovative "intervallic designs" for the guitar. These 96 linear, often 12-tone flavored studies in standard notation and tab cover many harmonic situations including II-V-I progressions, altered dominant chords and many others, reflecting Diorio's jazz roots and compositional mastery. Due to the harmonic ambiguity of these lines, the author recommends an experimental approach in applying these examples in various melodic and harmonic settings. The companion stereo CD features Joe playing all of the examples. This is a great arsenal of ideas for players of all styles, not just jazz. 40 pages.
