Book Reviews of Mel Bay Six Essential Fingerings for the Jazz Guitarist (The Jimmy Bruno Jazz Guitar Series)
Book Review: this book plus hard work will tighten you up
Summary: 5 Stars
You will do MUCH better with this little book if you buy the No Nonsense Jazz Guitar video, they really go together. These positions are worth the effort to internalize and kick those bad playing habits. This book gives six fingerings for major scale, 6 for dorian mode (scales), 6 for Mixolydian mode (scales), 6 for natural minor, 6 for harmonic minor, 6 for melodic minor. The book does not give arpeggios which would be useful but they are easy to plug in with these fingerings. It is tough to drop those bad fingerings but these are probably better than whatever you are using. Mr. Bruno graciuosly gives his personal email address for any questions (how cool is that?).

Summary of Mel Bay Six Essential Fingerings for the Jazz Guitarist (The Jimmy Bruno Jazz Guitar Series)
Guitarists face a sometimes overwhelming number of choices as to where to play a given note or phrase and what fingering to use. While a given fingering for a scale or phrase may be possible, it may not be practical. In this book, jazz guitarist Jimmy Bruno lays out six fingerings for the major scales which he has found to be the most efficient in his thirty years of professional playing. These patterns are then used to derive fingerings for the dorian mode, mixolydian mode, natural minor, harmonic minor, and melodic minor scales. Illustrations are provided in notation and tablature with fretboard diagrams aiding visualization. By using these fingerings consistently, the guitarist will eliminate all unnecessary fingerings and remove a major obstacle to his or her development as a musician.Music Books
