New Les Paul owner, as you’ll see from my NGD thread. Broad range of influences and though I did (and still do sometimes) flirt with the idea of leaning into jazz stuff, it still intimidates me, and I don’t really want to learn to perfectly comp the whole Real Book or whatever - just be more confident adding some outside sounds to chord progressions and solos.
What I’d love to be able to do better is play more “practiced noodles”, some interesting sort of… chord solo stuff? Don’t know how to describe it but YouTuber Paul Stafford Cook exemplifies it brilliantly for me.
Anyway, this is pre-amble: I was watching some Robben Ford videos and i know he refers to the Micky Baker chord book, but he also says he wrote a book, which apparently goes through his different use of chords. My grip is like his - happy to use thumb - so I’d love to get that book.
But on e.g. Amazon, none of the books by him clearly look like the one he’s referring to, and lots of them look a bit “meh”.
I don’t want tabbed out solos, but something with a bit of theory and something to take me from “dom 7th and occasionally a 9th chord” to being more confident bringing jazz sounds into blues/rock. Some diminished, some cool extensions…
Anyway, if anyone knows what book this is, or can recommend any of the Robben Ford books or even any other book that you think fits the bill, please do shout!
