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.
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.

Joe Dioro is an accomplished guitarist and composer as well as a respected music educator. In this book he combines his skills to present innovative "intervallic designs" for the guitar. Written in standard notation and tab, these linear, often 12-tone flavored studies reflect Diorio's jazz roots and compositional mastery. Due to the harmonic ambiguity of these lines, the author recommends an experimental approach in applying these examples in various melodic and harmonic settings. The companion stereo CD features Diorio's performance of each of the 96 studies in the book.
