5.0 out of 5 stars Great insight, July 11, 2000
This review is from: Howard Morgen's Solo Guitar: Insights, Arranging Techniques & Classic Jazz Standards (Jazz Masters) (Paperback)
Having been a subscriber to Fingerstyle guitar player magazine (for 5 years), Howard's articles were the most clear and complete. This book is a continuation of that style.

If you want to learn about intervals, chord substitution and jazz reharmonization techniques.

This is it.

This review is from: Howard Morgen's Solo Guitar: Insights, Arranging Techniques & Classic Jazz Standards (Jazz Masters) (Paperback)
I studied with Howard Morgen 30+ years ago. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had (and I've had plenty). I recommend any book by him.
