Review
What a great book! Randy Vincent has given us a huge amount of the material we guitar players can use when we're in action---listening and reacting to what's going on around us. This is so practical---and so rare! Thanks, Randy! JIM HALL --personal correspondence
Randy Vincent is an extraordinary musician who also happens to play guitar. With this book, he gives a real life approach to voicing chords on the instrument that will allow both the student and the professional to illuminate harmonies in the most sensible and transparent way. This book lays it out in clear and concise terms. PAT METHENY --personal correspondence
This book is full of essential information for jazz guitarists at any level. It's beautifully put together. Very logical and easy to understand. A wonderful book. MIKE STERN --personal correspondence

Three-Note Voicings and Beyond is for everyone from intermediate newcomers to jazz guitar to very advanced players. The book develops a unique dynamic concept of harmony where three independently moving lines team up to create beautiful harmonies that are valuable for comping, chord melodies and chordal jazz improvisations. Topics include: - Three-note shell voicings and special derived comp voicings - Compete triad review including all close and open inversions on all strings - A section on developing walking guitar voicings, harmonized bass lines perfect for accompaniments in situations where no bass or keyboard is present - Sections on triad applications such as slash chords, upper structures, hexatonic triad-pairs and special hybrid voicings - Quartal and secundal voicings perfect for modal comping and soloing - Drop-2 reductions perfect for melody harmonizations - A complete method to develop a realistic simulation of Shearing-style block-chord voicings on guitar. Plus much more!
