The book as like all of his other books is laid out logically a each chapter build on the other. The book does not include "fluff" and I felt that I never got lost. There are exercises where you can apply the material learned. I also constructed a few simple tunes to further understand and importantly the chords. I feel that this book will lay down the foundation for anyone expanding their chord knowledge and knowledge of the fret board. I want to reiterate what I said in my review for book one of this series. If you want to learn chords and how they work in a musical context, do yourself a favor and avoid chord dictionaries which contain visuals of the chords and are thick as an encyclopedia. I believe these chord dictionaries are a misrepresentation of how chords are to be learn. Also, it is unlikely these chord dictionaries will show you how to apply the chords in a musical context.One thing I learned through my musical journey is that everyone cannot teach. You may have a stellar player, but when s/he develops a method whether it's by video or book form it falls "flat" for lack or a better word. Trust me, I have a mountain of books stacked to the ceiling and there are few that kept my interest and also learned from it. Jason Alexander bucks this trend, he is an EXCELLENT teacher! If you don't believe me, read other reviews posted by people. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What makes this book really useful and somewhat unique is the systematic way in which ... *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015* What makes this book really useful and somewhat unique is the systematic way in which the author presents jazz chord information. There are a horde of books out there that present endless diagrams of various voicings but they generally lack an underlying methodology that will help the player organize the information in a useful way so that they can begin using the chords immediately in their playing. This book thankfully fills that gap. The author presents the chords as a group of voicings that work together (around the ii-V-i progression) and then demonstrates how to work through all the inversions as a group, then various exercises to solidify the grips. Next, the author demonstrates how to derive upper extensions (C9, C13, etc.) by altering the chords -- such as replacing the root with the ninth etc.Of all the books I've seen that try to teach jazz chords, this is easily the best and well worth the investment. If you work through this book, you will have a solid grasp of jazz chords and will get much more out of books like Chord Chemistry (Ted Greene classic) and more importantly truly gain an understanding of how jazz chords are built and how to think your way through the discovery of other chords and extensions.Very, very well done book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think this is one of the best. I improved my understanding and advanced my playing ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015* I have several of these books from Mr. Alexander. Each one clearly explains the material and how to apply it in a real musical setting. The included tracks are all top quality and effectively demonstrates the material in real world applications.Jazz Chord Mastery is no exception. In fact, I think this is one of the best. I improved my understanding and advanced my playing capabilities with the application of the easily digested lesson material. I was struggling with chord extensions using drop 2 and drop 3 forms. This book cleared that up for me and more. The included downloadable tracks clearly present the correct way to use the chords.I don't have the luxury of a jazz guitar instructor in Macon, GA. However, with Mr. Alexander's material and picking up songs from CDs using software such as "Amazing Slow Downer" I am making progress!If I could make a suggestion for a future work, I would love to see a clear lesson on taking a lead sheet and demonstrating how to interpret the rhythm, basic to intermediate comping techniques and how to perform basic chord melody.This book was a great buy. I'm looking forward to see what's next. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10024367-jazz-guitar-chord-mastery-guitar-chords-in-context-paperback-december](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10024367-jazz-guitar-chord-mastery-guitar-chords-in-context-paperback-december) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
