Perfect for the student of Jazz. --Michael Brecker ?I encourage the jazz guitar students at the University of North Texas to emulate tenor saxophonists. Greg Fishman's book, Jazz Guitar Etudes, contains idiomatic bebop lines and will be a great tool for any guitar teacher with aspiring jazz guitarists. Thanks, Greg!? Fred Hamilton, professor of jazz guitar, University of North Texas ?These are great solos and etudes! I'm always telling my guitar students to learn lines and phrasing from horn players, and Greg Fishman's book is perfect for this approach. The book is nicely done and very well laid out.? Corey Christiansen Professor of Guitar, Utah State University, Visiting Professor, Indiana University This book is very well put together and very thorough. It gives guitar students the information necessary to obtain a vocabulary based on the bebop tradition, yet ultimately encourages them to improvise on these structures, creating their own lines and ideas. I commend you on meeting this challenge head-on, and for effectively clarifying these concepts in your liner notes. --Steve Cardenas Professor of Guitar, The New School, New York City, member of the Paul Motian Band and Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchesra. The lines are great, the rhythm section is terrific, and I really love the fact that the student guitarist working out of this book gets to play along with both the guitarist on the CD and with your tenor. This book is incredibly well thought out. Congratulations on a fantastic book! --Jack Peterson, legendary jazz guitar professor (retired) from Berklee and North Texas State Just Jazz Guitar's rave review of Jazz Guitar Etudes by Greg Fishman: Jazz Guitar Etudes is an excellent resource for all guitarists and teachers.

Patrick Larbier, guitariste, vit à Hong Kong. Il est le directeur et fondateur de l?école CHORUS. Thierry Vaillot, guitariste, pianiste et compositeur, est responsable entre autres des classes d?harmonie de l?école Jazz à Tours et d?ateliers de musique d?Europe de l?Est et de Jazz manouche. Il s?occupe aussi de la coordination de la phase préparatoire du DEM jazz de cette école. Par ailleurs, il intervient au Centre des Musiques Didier Lockwood dans le cadre d?ateliers autour de la musique des Balkans. Musicien de jazz à l?origine, il multiplie les projets métissant le jazz et les musiques des balkans, indiennes et méditerranéennes. Il tourne actuellement avec le trio Elbasan sur les scènes de France et d?ailleurs. Le jazz a déjà un siècle : un siècle de genres musicaux, de développements, de recherches de styles. Pourtant, du Dixieland au Be Bop, du Cool au Free, du Hard Bop au jazz Rock, il semble bien dif?cile de trouver un dénominateur commun. Au ?l de tous les genres du jazz, on retrouve une même logique dans le choix des accords, une pulsation rythmique commune, une approche semblable dans la façon d'appréhender les notes des solos. Et la guitare dans tout ça ? De la même façon que le jazz a évolué, s'est diversi?é et s'est cherché, la guitare jazz a elle aussi subi une évolution profonde et des développements tous azimuts. Et ?nalement, de la même façon que l'on dira LES jazz, on parlera DES guitares jazz. Les improvisations de Django aux accompagnements discrets de Freddy Green, les Walking Bass de Joe Pass aux envolées modales de Pat Metheny, tous ces styles participent, au-delà de leurs différences stylistiques, au genre de la guitare jazz. Ma Première Guitare jazz vous propose d'explorer les grandes familles de styles guitaristiques. Bien-sûr, l'initiation prévaut ici. La dif?culté des pièces a été volontairement réduite. Le jeu rythmique a été particulièrement mis en avant. Néanmoins, certains aspects du jeu mélodique (chorus) n'ont pas été oubliés. Les grandes étapes de la guitare sont aussi étudiées dans un ordre quasi-chronologique. Il n'est pas obligatoire d'aborder cette méthode dans l'ordre d'apparition des chapitres. Nous avons essayé de garder une logique de présentation des accords tout au long de l'ouvrage : les accords simples apparaissent en début de méthode, les plus complexes plutôt vers la ?n. Les exemples musicaux de Ma première Guitare jazz peuvent être joués à la guitare électrique ou acoustique. Certains chapitres nécessitent le jeu au médiator, d'autres le jeu aux doigts. Notre ambition est que le lecteur trouve dans cet ouvrage les clés pour découvrir les grands styles de la guitare jazz, et que le plaisir de jouer les pièces musicales le pousse à poursuivre un approfondissement du style qui l'aura séduit. Bonne guitare ! Thierry Vaillot et Patrick Larbier
