Detail 02
Part of the Hal Leonard Guitar Method series

Jazz-specific method
Built around jazz harmony and phrasing rather than general technique, so it assumes you can already play.
Detail 04
Book format
Printed pages that stay open on a stand; no screen, no app subscription, no device battery.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music for this?
Jazz method material leans on standard notation. You will get more out of it if you can read, or are willing to learn alongside.
02Is there a CD?
No. The audio is online, accessed with the book. You stream it or download it to your own device.
03Will this work on electric and acoustic?
Yes. The material is about harmony and phrasing, not a specific instrument. An archtop or hollowbody suits the style but is not required.
04Is this good for a total beginner?
No. Start with the standard Guitar Method Book 1 first, then come to this once chords and basic technique are in place.
