La Main sur l'accord

While this book is not exhaustive, it provides a basic training, on which you can improve with practice. The pieces include a number of standards and several original works especially written to help the student. If you obtain a few pieces of sheet music of jazz or standards, you will be able to adapt them to your level of playing and your personality, and if you join a group you will be able to improvise using chord symbols which give the chords to be used. Above all, remember that a successful accompaniment depends on knowing the theme perfectly.
