The remaining nine selections originally appeared in segmented form in my fingerstyle jazz column in “Guitar Player Magazine.” Although these arrangements have been written primarily for their entertainment content, you may find them useful for their etude value as well. I’ve listed below a number of solo guitar concepts and techniques along with the song titles in this folio that best illustrate their application. Concepts/Techniques Songs Walking bass lines “In A Mellow Tone” "Take The ‘A’ Train” Big band, small group “Don't Get Around Much Anymore” Keyboard concepts "Do Nothin’ Till You Hear From Me” Quartal (fourth) harmony “| Got Bad (And That Ain't Good) Combining Harmonics with regular tones "In A Sentimental Mood” Voicings mixing open strings with "Sophisticated Lady” fretted notes “Ghost notes” and “comping” implying fast tempos with a two feeling “It Don't Mean A Thing Percussive effects (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” Developing independence between melody, “Satin Doll” accompaniment and bass voice Latin and jazz syncopation “Caravan" Close voicings “Mood Indigo” Wide stretch voicings Quartal harmony Tremolo study “Prelude To A Kiss” The music of Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington with its timeless, unforgettable melodies and subtle, rich and sometimes unexpected harmonies, often written for a big band sound, translates easily and naturally to the solo guitar. | had a ball writing every one of these arrangements and | hope you're going to have a ball playing them.
