The Melody as Harmony in Jazz

                                                   Joe Pass

The melody in jazz is a driven from the Harmony, there is a common saying that goes - "... When Jazz player is improvising you still can hear all the chords on his melody..."

Attention Guita/Bass Palyers

You will find precious information in this book that can be digested over the next 10 years, if you still playing, However we all shall take a look at the Arpejos Section, for this week. (pg35)

Nelson Farias - Guitar Method

Exercise of the week, to play either one of the Jazz Standarts (All of me/ How High the moon) playing the Arpejos. Remember the golden rules.


  • use only quarter-notes
  • don't change direction when changing the chord.
  • for guitar/bass player - stick to one region
Here you can find the play along version of the songs to practice for next week.
