Basic Jazz Harmony for Guitarists

Review by Az Samad.

It’s been awhile since Bill released any new educational books so I was excited when Bill told me this new book was on the way.

Harmonic Landscapes is slated to be a part of a series of books that focus on learning the guitar by understanding music, specifically jazz harmony.

According to Bill Farrish in the introduction of the book:

The material presented in this book equips guitarists with the practical application of jazz harmony to the fretboard. Over the course of more than three decades, I have utilized these studies with my college and private students, providing a foundational understanding of applied harmony for the first year of musical study. The studies presented should be applied to all keys, establishing a solid foundation for musical growth.

In other words (my words): the book is what you would get if you wanted to learn jazz harmony, but understand how it works on the guitar!
