One of the most important things for anyone developing an understanding of Jazz harmony is to develop a balance between linear and structural concepts. Linear refers to the movement of each note of a chord voicing as it moves through a chord progression. Structural refers to the vertical sonority of each chord voicing. These concepts are the basis of "Jazz Harmony on the Guitar" from Stan Smith, outstanding Jazz guitarist and teacher.

This book is divided into three sections: Voicings, Rhythmic Application, and Chord Progressions. The goal of the book is to provide an appropriate sound in a Jazz setting early in the guitarist's development, provide the guitarist with a foundation in both linear and structural harmonic concepts, and prepare the guitarist for more advanced theoretical concepts. Accompanying this book is a CD to help accomplish these goals. It includes tuning notes, chord progressions played on solo guitar, and rhythmic applications played on the guitar with bass and drum accompaniment. "Jazz Harmony On The Guitar - Guitar (Instrumental Folio)" weighs 8.32 oz.
