Lush arrangements from the "chordiologist" Jul 05, 2008
Robert Yelin is perhaps the most prolific arranger of guitar music in the classic chord-melody style, popularized by players such as Johnny Smith and Joe Pass. This collection of 35 jazz standards from the 1930's, 40's and 50's is for the serious jazz guitar student, as it puts a four or five note chord under almost every melody note. The first pass through each song can be heavy going, but as the chord changes start to fall under your hand, the richness and warmth of the arrangements begins to shine through. The voicing is especially rich in the ballads (Hoagy Carmichael's Skylark is a good example) where he uses maj13 and min7add4 chords to create feeling of melancholy. Yelin draws from a palate of mainstream jazz chords that are, with a few exceptions, reasonable on the hands, and you will see the same chords used again and again throughout the book. There are occasional four fret stretches but thankfully no five fret handkillers. In addition, the tablature is a welcome sight to those of us (me included) who are slow music readers. Working up these tunes will really put the polish on your chord changes, and give you a cool repertoire of oldies to play unaccompanied, but be ready for some work (and some tired hands) getting these beauties up to tempo.

good jazz books Nov 18, 2007
Greatly overworked arraingments with full chords.If you just play parts of the chords you still sound good. It shows you where the bass notes and melody notes are, this way you can start working out your own fingerstyle arraingements. You can sound like you, not the artist. It is in tab also so any non pro can use it . You might need some good streching for some of the chords but remember you dont need to play the whole chord.
