Negative Positive
Title: unorganized and disconnected.
Review: I've been playing jazz guitar for years and know the value of chord studys especially for players of finger style jazz (joe pass). I purchased this book for my cousin as a birthday gift as he is just starting to play jazz guitar. Too my surprise the book is pretty much worthless, sure it has lots of chords, but they are presented in a way that does nothing to help the student understand how chords are used. Many of the chords presented are unrealistic in as far as the demands placed on the hand(excessive stretching..ouch!).The chords that most jazz guitarist use today and yesterday have always been to make efficient use of the hands(some of the chords require that you make a 7 fret stretch in first position). I for one have never seen any of the great guitarist ever stretch beyond 5 frets and most stay at 4 frets including my self. This chord bible clearly needs a revision!
