Toute personne qui possède une connaissance des accords de base et des doigtés de gammes peut aussitôt démarrer et commencer à jouer le jazz. Cet ouvrage aborde la gamme majeur et la théorie des triades de base, et s'étend à l'étude des accords enrichis et des modes, en parallèle avec celle de morceaux complets afin d'assimiler au mieux chaque nouveau concept abordé. Guitare Jazz Débutants rompt avec la vieille tradition des ouvrages arides, intimidants et confus sur le jazz, en proposant une méthode vraiment progressive, agréable, pour apprendre à jouer dans ce style. Soigneusement conçu en sections aisées à assimiler, chaque chapitre est divisés en leçons distintes relatives tantôt à l'harmonie, tantôt à l'improvisation.
