The accurate interpretation of swing rhythm is the most important element in jazz music. This collection of 7 jazz etudes and 11 exercises for solo guitar provides practice in playing this rhythmic pattern and working on other important skills. The etudes are written in notation for jazz styles: Swing, Latino, Bossa Nova, Blues, and Jazz Rock. These etudes develop the right hand to sound as if two or three instruments are playing simultaneously. All the etudes have bright melodies and rich jazz harmony. They are intermediate in difficulty. The exercises feature numerous skills, including Swing style, walking bass, Latin style, finger speed, various rhythmic combinations, and broken lines. Includes access to online audio.
