Horn players have known this stuff for eons, but somehow guitarists missed the boat. Even the great classic jazz guitar tutors didnt spend much time on topics like voice leading. Possibly because the guitar was primarily regarded as a rhythm instrument in the early days of jazz.I believe that if someone had given me this book 40 years ago it would have shaved years off my practise time. I eventually did learn the subject matter but I made a lot of mistakes along the way and spent a lot of time playing the wrong thingsI would highly recommend this book to students of jazz guitar, and teachers alike. I am a teacher and I find this book to be a great resource.Now, the cons: I have 2 little peeves; the first one probably applies to just about every guitar book these days. It is a favorite irk of mine. I object to paying for TABs. Reading music is a fundamental aspect of musicianship. Not reading music is like a medical student who says, "I am not interested in spines, ribs, hearts . . . ." Whatever. You would expect your doctor to know all the basics. Imagine Steven King if he were illiterate; the idea is preposterous!2nd. There are some musical examples in this book that are way too small in the iBook edition. I have had to photograph these pages then enlarge the photos. Do yourself a favor and get the print edition.Summary: A very good, better than average, jazz guitar tutorial. I recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need to go over the exercises until they are really bedded in and are becoming part of your playing (not easy for an impatie *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016* Although this appears to be quite a short book it has taken me over 6 months to get thru it. You need to pace yourself and follow Joseph's instructions, not to just skip ahead to the next part. You need to go over the exercises until they are really bedded in and are becoming part of your playing (not easy for an impatient guy like me :-)). I found the book really useful. It is well laid out. My only slight criticism would be that the chord and arpeggio shape drawings are just too small when reading on a tablet. The other issue with the diagrams, and this is just a personal preference but I think an important one, is that the drawings should all be rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. This is so they then look like the correct view of the fretboard as you view it while playing. This enhances and reinforces the visual image of the pattern in your mind. The way they are presented is not helpful.The book comes with a series of audio tracks to practice with. I actually didn't use these as I just played the chord progression into my looper and used that. I did listen to a few of them though and they are very well done.This book is all about arpeggios and getting them under your fingers (This is what takes the time) . If you are a bit stuck with your playing and want to open up some soloing possibilities then this may be the book for you. Being a chord tone system gives your solos a very slick and sweet type of sound but because Joseph gives you a series of techniques to start and stop your solo in "odd" places and arpeggios that skip notes you can also achieve that outside kind of off the wall solo that we all strive for.I liked it. I'm going to explore more of Mr Alexander's books. I think you should too :-)P.S. I gave it 4/5 only because of the diagram issue. The content of the book deserves a solid 5/5 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great "building blocks" presentation *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2017* This is an excellent presentation of a fairly complex topic. I happen to have a Master's Degree in Music Theory, so the theory concepts weren't hard to follow. For someone who does not have a deep theory back ground, the material is presented in what I call a "building block" sequence. Joseph starts out with simple concepts and then walks the reader into and through the more complex theory ideas. Well done, thank you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/115478316-chord-tone-soloing-for-jazz-guitar-master-arpeggio-based-soloing](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/115478316-chord-tone-soloing-for-jazz-guitar-master-arpeggio-based-soloing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
