"The author's stated purpose in writing this series of books is "to bring the player from student to pro status." This masterful teaching text begins with the premise that a jazz player should not use a plain major or dominant 7th chord except for effect, but rather create an extension of the basic chord alterations, extensions, voicings, and substitutions."

The best jazz chord book ever!,
By
This review is from: Sal Salvador: Chordal Enrichment & Chord Substitution: Jazz Guitar (Mb94046) (Paperback)
I am so happy that this priceless book has been reissued. I purchased a copy in 1993, and it taught me everything I've ever needed to know about jazz guitar chords and how to apply them to music. The author, legendary jazz guitarist and educator, Sal Salvador, promised that after mastering the book, you will be able to play in at the professional level. He delivered. For anyone serious about learning jazz guitar chords and playing professional changes, this book is all you'll ever need.

Complete Jazz substitutions book,

This review is from: Sal Salvador: Chordal Enrichment & Chord Substitution: Jazz Guitar (Mb94046) (Paperback)
Hi..
This book contains all one would need to know about expanding any jazz progressions. But it is not for beginners... Mel bay is republishing this book for around 20.00 so don't be foolish and buy this book used for 60 plus dollars... Yikes! Peace

Good book but reads more like a manual...,
By Vicnts4 "Victor" (India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sal Salvador: Chordal Enrichment & Chord Substitution: Jazz Guitar (Mb94046) (Paperback)
I was interested in learning chord substitutions for piano, but opted to buy this book which is actually geared for guitarists. I found out that there was plenty of theory for a 68 page book. The introduction is brief, and gets straight down to business. The examples are given in guitar grids and staff notation, so deciphering them wasn't a problem. The chords themselves are given in a lead sheet style. The only caveat is that it reads more like a manual than a well written book, and there are no examples on jazz patterns. So pianists can actually imbibe a lot of theory from this book and it has really helped me for comping.
Other than that I think future publications can introduce other aspects of jazz theory to make it more complete for its price.
