Intense jazz guitar course, for beginners. Chords, scales and arpeggios.

This expansive four-disc anthology essentially covers the recorded history of the guitar in the 20th century, beginning with the ragtime banjo that set the table for the role of the guitar in a jazz setting in the early 1900s, and then touching all the bases clear through to the post-postmodern possibilities of the instrument in the 21st century. Don't let the subtitle throw you, though, because Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar interprets jazz guitar in the broadest of strokes, as it includes not only pantheon jazz players like Eddie Lang, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Wes Montgomery, and John McLaughlin but also provides an uncommon sweep by featuring Hawaiian stylists Roy Smeck and Sol Hoopii; Western swing aces Leon McAuliffe and Eldon Shamblin; country jazzman Hank Garland; rock virtuosos Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, and Jeff Beck; fusion funksters Larry Carlton, Al DiMeola, and Mike Stein; and hard to classify avant-garde players like Derek Bailey, Sonny Sharrock, James Blood Ulmer, and Marc Ribot.

50s Jazz Guitar Trio
50s Jazz Guitar Trio delivers the classic sound of a compact guitar-led jazz band. While the instruments are recorded to the highest standards, the warm and intimate tones of both the acoustic and electric guitars are a perfect match for the library’s 50s-inspired jazz tunes. With smooth moods throughout, and that inimitable sense of top-class musicians locked into the groove, 50s Jazz Guitar Trio is the real deal.
