Like many people, I didn't know what 'drop 2' meant until now! But Randy Vincent has done a wonderful job in putting together a very systematic and comprehensive book that will be of great value to all guitarists that want to develop and improve their chord melody playing. I might just use some of these tasty voicings myself!”

Randy Vincent has drawn on his decades of experience as a guitarist and teacher to create a very useful book of chord voicings. The material is well presented, and the wealth of material is placed in context to allow the serious student to absorb everything. I found Randy's book really helpful. I will use it as a reference myself, and will recommend it highly to all of my friends and students.”

Randy Vincent presents the inner workings of the 'drop 2' voicing for guitar more comprehensively than other publications I have encountered. All the examples are written out clearly and explained in great detail. This book is an invaluable aid to any guitarist that desires to look more deeply into the study of jazz harmony with an emphasis on the most practical and commonly used voicing, the 'drop 2.' It's clear that Randy has put his heart and soul into this great work, as it reflects so much musical wisdom.”

This is a very unique book focused on 4-note voicings for the guitar. The chapters are well organized with lots of interesting voicing examples of jazz standard melodies. Especially the "tweaking" techniques are inspiring. Also the attached CDs are a great help. Recommended!!”
