Jazz Comping for Fingerstyle Guitar by Murdick, Kent - 1984

Pacific, Missouri, U.S.A.: Mel Bay Publications, Inc., 1984. Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, some shelf wear, overall a clean used first edition! Very very rare and hard-to-find title! Full-color pictorial wrappers with blue and yellow lettering. 40 very clean unmarked and uncreased informative and musical pages! Extremely scarce and out-of-print! "The purpose of Jazz Comping for Finger Style Guitar is to provide a step by step approach for playing both a rhythmic chord comp and a bass line at the same time. Situations where this would be useful include voice and guitar, jazz guitar duets, guitar-drums-horn combinations, etc. This bass-chord approach will also serve as a basis for solo guitar arranging (see Chapter 8). The skills taught in this volume are not new and in fact have been used for years by such guitarists as Joe Pass and Bucky Pizzarelli. Unfortunately, until now, the pedagogical material in this area has been severely inadequate...." ---- from the Introduction.. First Edition / First Printing. Stapled Soft Cover.
