Scott Henderson's 'Jazz Guitar Chord System' book

distressed_romeo · 10-12-2006, 07:17 PM

Picked this up a couple of days ago. Basically, it's a slightly better-explained version of the Holdsworth approach to harmony, i.e. visualising chords as clusters of notes from within the modes. Only had one play with it so far, but it certainly yields some interesting results. I imagine it'll be one I keep refering to for years to come.

Anyone else got it? Thoughts? Criticism?

I'd like to look into it because in every other way but a performance standpoint, Holdsworth's video was almost useless to me. Anything that can elaborate on the concepts I expected to learn from his video would be awesome.

Recommend it.

It's not too expensive either...
