Advanced jazz guitar concepts

Jens Larsen gets to the heart of modern jazz guitar playing to focus on the techniques and theory that will set your playing apart from the crowd. His new jazz guitar book teaches how to create quartal arpeggio licks that combine the old-school cool jazz vocabulary of McCoy Tyner and John Coltrane with the modern sounds of Gilad Hekselman, Jonathan Kriesberg and Mike Moreno.

His ground breaking chapter on intervallic structures shows you how to create exciting lines by converting drop 2 and shell chord voicings into arpeggio structures – as heard in the playing of jazz saxophonists like Michael Brecker and Chris Potter.
