This book proceeds onward from Volume Two, The Fretboard, and presumes that you are up to speed on the first two volumes. We start out with a description of jazz chords with regard to the Rhythm Changes, voice leading and the spelling of complex chords. You'll get experience playing two popular progressions of complex chord shapes, what I call the MVP (Most Valuable Progression) and the VIP (Very Important Progression). Other topics include modulation from key to key, comping and mystery chord analysis.Then comes an introduction to the use of scales and modes in improvising jazz lead lines. We seek out the CAGED scale shapes in the Key of C all around the neck of the guitar.Table of ContentsWhat are jazz chords?Rhythm changes in the Key of CPreliminary issuesMinimizing redundant notesClosed voicingsExtensions and alterationsSubstitutionsThe Major 6th substitutionRhythm changes up the neck in CRecap of the modified rhythm changesModified rhythm changes in GBasic jazz chord roundupVoice leadingRhythm changes in GThe spelling of complex chordsWorksheetsOur favorite chord progression the MVPModifications to the MVPThe flatfive substitutionOn to the VIPG7 variants and worksheetsModifications to the VIPThe flatfive substitutionThe MVP and VIP around the fretboardModulating with a 251 progressionThe 1234567 progressionStripped down compingExamples of jazz standardsMystery chord analysisScales: Jazz a la ModeModes in the Key of CIonian modeDorian modePhrygian modeLydian and Mixolydian modesAeolian and Locrian modesModes shmodes?Worksheet on the modesImprovising on the modesArpeggios first, then scalesCshape modesAshape modesGshape modesEshape modesDshape modesCshape modes (high)Improvising with the E and Cshape modes
