Jazz Guitar

Learn how to play jazz guitar with jazz guitar lessons on book, video and DVD from Lakes Music. The guitar has been used in jazz music for many years. While jazz can be played on any style of guitar, the archtop guitar has become known as the essential jazz guitar. An archtop guitar has steel strings, a large sound chamber, and arched top with a floating bridge, f-holes and electronic pickups. These guitars develop a decidedly fat tone which sounds terrific with the various and interesting chord combinations performed in jazz.
