Here Are Some Other Books Mark Elf Highly Recommends!! Barry Galbraith Guitar Solos
A note from Mark Elf: I studied with Barry Galbraith in the late 60s to around 1971 or so. I can tell you this is a worth while book if you'd like to be able to play chord solos. It's a learn by example book, a practical approach to playing chord melodies. I highly recommend it. It is worth spending a couple of evenings a week, instead of meeting up with friends, or going to the bingo, sitting down with these books. You will find that with a little bit of practice, you will quickly pick up the art of playing chord melodies. Thirteen Standards compiled by Jim Lichens Book #1 - $19.95 Book #2 - $17.95 Barry Galbraith was one of the best jazz guitarists of the 1950's. He was also a fine music reader who would write out his own arrangements of standards for his students. Both his playing and his writing are very straightforward. This book takes thirteen of Barry's rough, hand-written arrangements and adds chord symbols, left-hand fingering, and tablature. The companion CD was recorded by John Purse and includes both a normal speed and a slow version of each tune. Also included in the book are quotes about Barry from many other famous musicians, a 7-page article on Barry by his son Don, an obituary by George Russell, and numerous pictures of Barry at different times in his life.
