Arkansas Red I guess a similarly good suggestion in the absence of the book you desired would be Chord Chemistry by Theodore (Ted) Greene. :)

thanks for the little chat u guys are having here, im indebted, to search that books to add into my little journey to be a good guitar player.

Arkansas Red

There's a ton out there! If you want to go the whole hog go for the George Van Eps books or if you research most of it is maths applied to songs with various ideas like drop 2 or 3 voicings, triad subs, chromaticism, etc. I've learnt the best of my stuff off a top-flight piano player. He got bored with my voicings and got me applying shell voicings and triad subs when I was comping with him, bass, drums and sax. A dream come true. :)

Long time in the making, but now you can get it! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C896VPT

+aj pegg I don't know about John etheridge but generally guitar duets are a calamity....a fight for "maximus" r.p.m.....and the same "copié-collé" (scotched copies).The difference is when both are musicians....and John and Anthony are wonderfully .

+Jean-Luc Bersou . For your information, John Etheridge is a brilliant UK based guitarist who toured with Stephane Grappelli for many years playing 'gypsy jazz' and also toured with Soft Machine having replaced Allan Holdsworth. John Etheridge currently tours with the great classical guitarist John Williams, the violinist Nigel Kennedy, the Zappatistas, Soft Machine Legacy and others. He has played with Yehudi Menuhin, Dizzie Gillespie, Herb Ellis (gtr), Mundell Lowe (gtr), Birelli Laurene (gtr), Barney Kessel (gtr) and countless others. He is a brilliant guitarist that can play in many styles and many contexts. Pat Metheny described him thus "One of the best guitarists in the world". John Etheridge made the comment concerning jazz guitarists accompanying jazz guitarists that I quoted in my message on a BBC Radio 3 Programme entitled Jazz Library when he was reviewing what he considered one of the best jazz guitar recordings - Joe Pass 'For Django' (1964) on which Joe he is accompanied by the same John Pisano as seen on this video. Of course the great Django Reinhardt, to whom the title refers, was always accompanied by guitarists! Finally, if you haven't heard it check out the recordings by 'Bass Desires' that feature John Scofield & Bill Frisell for a more contemporary examples of guitarists accompanying guitarists. Also see John Etheridge's website at www.johnetheridge.com I know what you mean about guitarists fighting for maximum r.p.m. but I think that this is an affliction that affects rock guitarists rather than jazz guitarists. I agree - these 2 are brilliant examples of sympathetic accompaniment.

Thanks for your very interesting and detailed answer .As you mention Grapelly...it gives me a spark for John Etheridge .Of course ! I think Martin Taylor and Alan Holdsworth were more "mediatised" .Thanks for your infos " je vais m'y jeter" .Aside rock and Pop Guitar players in the UK were probably more connected to the American Jazz and Songs (standards) and sooner than others players in European countries .A matter of common culture (ex:Rod Stewart ! and so many ).The British Pop of the 60's was so creative .I remember the Gibson Tester English guitarist for Seimatone -Dave Roberts - brilliant ,eclectic and far above what we could imagine .Today the average level is perhaps higher and anyone can learn all day long inexhaustible "lessons" ... Have a Nice 2016 ...

Rudy's Music Stoppp

Pisano was good friends and played often with Joe Pass.

Simplistisch nice

Just got one so amazing

Agreed

Thanks! Was looking for that in comments :)

D'Angelico D'Aquisto Is that blessing you sought?

I think I know what you mean, that masterful players can make anything sound good - and I agree with you to an extent. But in this case, they're playing guitars of very high quality. In fact they're playing Eastman guitars whose models are named after Pisano. They have his signature on the fretboard. The guitar that Pisano is playing retails for over $4K. www.eastmanguitars.com/john_pisano

+PeterDad60 I wanted to add that my Guild only has a volume rotary control and it uses a DeArmond floating pickup attached to the end of the fretboard so there are no holes in the top plate.

Post a video of you playing it, Pete. We'd love to hear your guitar being played.

***** I have an eastman, they are so worth it. Amazing guitars, and they play really nice too. They look large, and the necks are wider, but my eastman 803ce plays better than some semihollows i've played! Very dynamic. and unique. Every archtop I've tried is different, even if they're the same model.

***** Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely look into it!

***** Just got myself an Ibanez GB10. All these years making do with a solid bodied guitar to play jazzy stuff. Can't believe I waited that long. Wait no more XD

***** I love my Gibson L4, but there are so many great models out there. Play as many as you can, decide on your budget, then double it ;-)

EASTMAN AR680CE John Pisano model, which can be found with single or duel pickup and controls.

@@johnnyconner4184 The dual pickup is an AR380CE not a 680.

@@vechap Ah, yes. I misunderstood. Thanks.

The guitars seems to be the AR680CE and the AR380CE, both the pisano's signature model of eastman

@@jeromelabrosse51 Isn't that an AR880?

lol

Actually, not so far-fetched. Eric once recorded with the Crusaders (kinda jazz) and also with Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Eric is a respected blues player, and "blues is the air that jazz breathes", so there you go.

Sorry but Eric is mediocre at best. He didn't "record with them, they recorded with him". They could play 'down to him' but he could never play 'up to them'.

Good Bait

Nvm. It's Good Bait

It is. Anthony Wilson.

Correct.

+fendergasm11 Exactly ! He is anthony Wilson .....playing a blonde Byrdland for the Blonde singer !

Anthony Wilson is currently on tour with DK. August 2017.

A blonde "59" Byrdland at that ...........:)

Wtf clapton is such s beginner although he has a great tone all he can do is overuse a pentatonic scale as mix up a few blues licks

Philippe Clement I think it was a joke about how Anthony Wilson looks a bit like Eric Clapton XD

+Philippe Clement lol just cause clapton doesnt play jazz doesnt make him a beginner. he was an Icon and he changed music is the bottom line. and if you could perhaps post a video of you using the pentatonic scale more tastefully i'd love to see . apples and oranges my friend

+phillipeclements its just the way he looks. It was a joke. Clapton's a great player though

John Pisano is playing a John Pisano signature guitar, so I presume he's already got one!

bach quach the bridge is the same changes as an A of rhythm changes but up a fourth

Vaudeville days, banjoists seem to have started it

Leaning an archtop outwards so that the back of the guitar isn't touching your own body gives it more resonance, I'm guessing that's why.

It's better posture. He does it so his fingers hit the fretboard at a better angle it's also just better in general for grabbing shapes.

I'm also pretty sure Anthony Wilson is good friends with Mr Monteleone, who Mark Knopfler calls the Stradivari of guitar, and usually plays his instruments worth 10s of thousands...

Anthony wilson has been touring with Diana Krall for years, so I'm guessing he's got plenty of money :)..

Its an Eastman Guitars promo. Anthony Wilson owns/plays a Monteleone Radio Flyer worth about $25,000 (if not more). He can afford any guitar he wants.
