| Martin Taylor Solo Jazz Guitar DVDs Now Stocked At Chord Melody Guitar Music The arrival of a new 5 volume set of instructional DVDs by jazz guitar legend Martin Taylor teaching solo jazz guitar has just been announced by Chord Melody Guitar Music. This new collection of solo jazz guitar arrangements by the award winning recording artist from the United Kingdom features him teaching and performing the same solos that he plays in concert and on his numerous recordings. All of the Martin Taylor solos are renditions of famous jazz and pop standards by songwriters like Duke Ellington, Jimmy Van Heusen, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Henry Mancini, Hoagy Carmichael, Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Michel LeGrande, Jerome Kern, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The new collection of Martin Taylor DVDs presents advancing jazz guitarists with his entire solo fingerstyle arrangements from beginning to end instead of just certain sections like past collections have done. Being able to watch Martin explain his complex solos note by note one measure at a time makes these DVDs a complete learning experience for any guitarist interested in expanding his repertoire of jazz and pop standards arranged for the guitar. The fact that the student can print all of the guitar parts from a PDF file on each DVD in standard notation as well as tab notation makes the material accessible to anyone regardless of whether they can read music or not. The president of Chord Melody Guitar Music, Steven Herron, studied classical guitar at Peabody Conservatory Of Music with Aaron Shearer. He recently commented "Martin Taylor is one of the most amazing solo jazz guitarists that you will ever hear! He often sounds like a guitarist and a bass player playing together at the same time – a real one man band. His incredible "double thumb technique" is something I have never seen anyone else do before. Being able to offer his collection of solo guitar arrangements of songs like "Georgia On My Mind", "Here's That Rainy Day", "Darn That Dream", and "I Got Rhythm" to all of the aspiring jazz guitarists out there on the internet is very exciting!" Chord Melody Guitar Music has always offered a unique, extensive collection of guitar courses for all of the different styles of music including jazz, country, blues, flamenco, classical, rock, and bossa nova. These courses consist of books with DVDs and books with CDs as well as separate DVDs that can be downloaded immediately from the website. This new collection of Martin Taylor instructional DVDs makes it possible for advancing guitarists all over the world to be able to learn his full length fingerstyle solo guitar arrangements exactly as Martin plays them in concert due to their easy to read formats of standard notation for those who can read music and tab notation for those who can't.
