I'd like to start putting together an FAQ for this list and think it
would be worth discussing Method Books, people have found useful in
their studies and why. If you can give the title and author and as

much

details as possible it would make it helpful for others to find the
books.

My Recommendations to start with are:

Chordal Accompaniment:

Barry Galbraith - Guitar Comping. Published now by Jamey Aebersold. A
Play-a-long CD and Book. All Guitar Chords are transcribed. Excellent.

Robert Brown - Chord Connections. Published by Alfred Publishing Co. A
great book for showing the connections between Chords, lots are good
diagrams.

Theory:

Mark Levine - The Jazz Theory Book. Published by Sher Music Co. The
book every Jazz musician should own and refer too.

Single Line:

Bert Ligon - Comprehensive Technique For Jazz Musicians. Published by
Houston Publishing. A lifetimes work, which should set you on the

right

path.

Overall:

Howard Roberts and Garry Hagberg - Guitar Compendium Vols. 1,2,3.
Published by Advance Music. Another lifetimes worth of study material.
But written in such a way to solve problems and in manageable chunks.

I would add George Van Epps three volume Harmonic Mechanisims for

Guitar

another life's time work, Published by Mel Bay.

For more contemporary theory David Liebmans' A Chromatic Approach to

Jazz Harmony and Melody is the most informative work I have ever seen
on contempoary concepts, published by Advance Music.

For anyone inquiring about method books, a good place to start would be the
appendix of Tony Beltran's Chord Melody Approach abstract located at:
