Cover of Real Book Jazz Guitar DVD
This Real Book Jazz Guitar DVD is a great way to learn 5 of some of the most beautiful melodies in the jazz idiom. Corey Christiansen presents the songs in an easy to understand way. You don’t even need to read charts or the Real Book jazz fake book to learn these tunes. He shows them to you as if you were sitting with him and he is teaching you how to play both the melody and chord changes. You will learn tunes like Take The A” Train, All The Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Satin Doll and Stella By Starlight plus you get some bonus concert footage of his band playing his original compositions. This is a great DVD lesson for the aspiring jazz guitarist who wants to quickly learn a sets worth of material.
I would suggest that the jazz guitarist listen to these tunes on any recordings you can get your hands on, and as many different artists playing those tunes as possible. This way by hearing the tune a bunch of times, you familiarize yourself with the subtleties that each artist bring to each tune. This will help in your hearing and style development as you progress though the real book tunes.
