Joe Pass once said:

"Guitarists should be able to pick up the guitar and play music on it for an hour, without a rhythm section or anything"

This is easier said than done though...

You probably experienced the feeling when sitting among friends or family, and suddenly someone puts a guitar in your hands and asks you to "play some jazz".

Playing bass, chords and melody at the same time (aka chord melody) is not an easy thing to do. It sounds easy enough when you hear Joe Pass or Barney Kessel do it, but getting that smooth sound doesn't come by itself...

Learning how to play chord melody requires a step-by-step plan and that's where The Easy Guide to Chord Melody comes in.
