Soul Jazz Guitar

Soul Jazz Guitar is a collection of Randy Johnston's tunes and solos designed for the intermediate student. Rather than merely transcribing solos from his CDs, he plays material at a reasonable tempo with the student in mind. There are tunes such as "Down Time," "The Philadelphians," and "Rolling at the Summit" that appear on his commercial CDs, but included here are versions that are new and unique to this project. There are also some improvisations on familiar "standard" progressions to help the student deal with these changes when they encounter them at jam sessions, etc. Randy has tried to present his take on the jazz language as clearly and faithfully as possible to make the solos easy to learn. He hopes that this will lead the student to develop their approach to these progressions, just as he developed his approach from listening to the playing of his role models over the years. Includes access to online audio.
