More DescriptionThe majority of the jazz guitarists spend too much time studying melodic lines for improvisation wishing to become good soloist one day. This frantic race towards acquiring complicated language makes us forget the essential role of a guitar, the accompaniment. From a professional point of view this appears counter-productive. In many bands the guitar is needed for it harmonic and accompanying functions. Other instruments of jazz music such as voice, saxophone or trumpet already have this function of soloist defined due to different reasons e.g. cultural, timbre, etc.This research arose from the necessity to look for useful resources which could develop the creative accompaniments of jazz guitar. Currently we can be inspired by many guitar players depending of what we like. In this case, the idea was to look for one of the "fathers" of the jazz guitar in order to get to the root of the matter.
