Steve Khan's book, 'Chord Khancepts' is an excellent follow-up to the
Baker books, because he covers more modern comping techniques and how
to substitute common triads for any chord - very valuable.

Whoever suggtested the Mickey Baker jazz guitar method for leaning
chord forms, thank you, thank you. This is the kind of book I've
looked for off and on on for years. I bought it and the William
Leavitt courses first volume. With the two of these I think this is
all I need for awhile, besides time and my Real Books.
I like what Baker said in the very first of the book - there are so
many guitar chords that frankly aren't very useful, I want you to
learn these very useful chords and transpose them into all the keys,
then I'll show you more when you learn those - Sounds basic, and it
is, but it works, and those are indeed very useful chord forms for
both comping and improvising.
I got both of these books used on Amazon for probaly a total of
$15.00. Best money I've spent.
