Jazz Guitar Voicings - Vol.1: The Drop 2 Book Details info:
Have you ever wondered how guitarists like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and George Benson find such full, luscious voicings for their chord melody playing? Well, much of that sound is based on the Drop 2 principle of chord voicings and this book explains exactly how you can get that same sound too!
This book has sections that cover:
1) All the basic principals of drop 2 melody harmonization including passing tones and extension tones as well as basic chord tones.
2) Practical, guitar-friendly methods for creating hip, modern sounds by tweaking the basic drop 2 voicings.
3) Clear methods for soloing and comping in drop 2, including melodic enclosures, special guitar-oriented chromatic effects, and a system of modal drop 2 harmony.
4) An organized practice routine, including fingerboard diagrams as well as standard notation, to fully develop all the concepts mentioned above in a hands-on approach, with a minimum of theory.
You will find that this book covers this essential material in a unique way unlike any other guitar book available today. Book includes 2 CDs of the author demonstrating each exercise.

Jazz Guitar Voicings - Vol.1: The Drop 2 Book Review by Jake
Get ready for a hand work out. I hadn't considered playing drop-2's in scale fashion as he does in this book. Great examples.
Jazz Guitar Voicings - Vol.1: The Drop 2 Book Review by John Palmer (Scarsdale, NY United States)
I'm a long time guitar player -- 41 years -- and a long time systems analyst -- almost as long.
I set out to end my guitar music illiteracy about 5 years ago. This was the result of trying to play jazz, feeling ashamed at how poor I was at dealing with the music and working with some very patient bandmates who are literate.
So, I began a journey through the myriad of guitar chord dictionaries and, especially, books that claim to have discovered THE secret to all guitar chord playing knowledge.
Unfortunately, because I'm a systems analyst, I get splinters in my mind when I read books that don't get to the essence of what they are trying to say. (Or worse, have an essence that is just bogus.) Most of the many books on chords for guitar suffer from these problems.
On the other hand Jazz Guitar Voicings is crystal clear about a profoundly fundamental idea: arrangers have standard ways of arranging the notes in a chord (i.e. voicings), low to high. One of them -- Drop 2 -- is the key to playing chord scales and melodies in a way that doesn't induce hand cramps. That is, people like me (Tal Farlow or Lenny Breau I am not) can can play these chords.
These skills are essential for playing jazz, soul, funk, bossa nova and even a surprising number of rock tunes. In fact the only styles of guitar music I can think of where you probably couldn't use these ideas are 3 or 4 chord folk music and metal. (If you are into those styles, this is probably not the book for you.)
Any of you who are Wes Montgomery fans (and if you're into jazz guitar, you'd almost have to be a Wes Montgomery fan) know of his single note, octaves then chords solo structure. When he gets to the chords, much of what he's doing is in Drop 2.
It may take me years to absorb all that Randy Vincent has put into this book. There are so many great ideas, examples and scales to master. But this is one book where I know that the time invested will pay off enormously.
Jazz Guitar Voicings - Vol.1: The Drop 2 Book Review by Jan Ghijselen "Jazztrio.be"
Great book for guitarists desiring to go beyond stock voicings. Based on Mark Levines' drop2 book, it explains how to incorporate modal and chromatic (diminished) passing chords, approach chords to your voice leading efforts.
The book helps you bridge the gap between soloing and comping. In most textbooks the melodic approach to soloing is abandoned when talking about comping. This method emphasizes melody also in accompaniment and gently advizes you "not too overdo" this approach behind singers or soloists.
It brings chord soloing within your reach with deeper understanding of yhe theory and praxis behind it. Great kindle book. Let's have his threenote voicing book on kindle asap...:))
