Mr. Galbraith's instructional books give you that classic, standard jazz sound which is never corny nor unmusical. Like all comping books, this is intended to show you different ideas and from there alter them to your individual taste. Great, great voicings here, good musical choices, and nothing to difficult or outlandish.A lot of jazz chord and comping books are trying to get you to "minimize the number of chords" you know, and to get you to play only a few different chords. While this is a good approach for beginners, I think in the end, as a jazz comper, you will inevitably need to learn as many chords as you can. I think part of this misinterpretation stems from everyone quoting how Wes Montgomery only used a few chord shapes. While that is true, he still played A LOT of different chord shapes. This book adds more chords to your repertoire and does so in tasteful fashion.Also the stretches are never too difficult here, and the voice leading is always compact and makes sense. Lack of tab is always a plus when learning chords on the guitar, so that you learn exactly what constitutes a b5, #9, etc. Also, there are indicators telling you which string you should be on, so in a way it is actually more efficient than tab.Bottom line, great book, great series actually. I highly recommend this, as well as the rest in this series of Barry Galbraith books. For single-note studies, I am enjoying Jimmy Raney's book (I believe it's Vol. 20 in Abersold), as a few of those solos coincide with the comping studies here in this Galbraith book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This book is very helpful *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023* Everything in the book is self-explanatory and is not complicated to follow along. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great for serious and studying guitarist *by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2015* If you are looking for a great book to improve your comping vocabulary as well as buff up your chordal sight reading skills, look no further. The CD tracks are split bass in one speaker and guitar in the other, so practicing alongside a guitar track and bass track, just a bass track, or just the guitar track are all options. I would not recommend this book to someone who has difficulty with reading sheet music, but if you are familiar with reading guitar sheet music, the print is not painful to look at for extended amounts of time. I find myself using the chord voicings in other jazz standards I have familiarized myself with, as well as improvising chord progressions during practice. I plan to purchase more of the Barry Galbraith series in the future, these are timeless books that every very serious guitarist should own. ## Frequently Bought Together - Barry Galbraith # 3 - Guitar Comping Play-A-Long (Book & CD Set) (Jazz Guitar Study) - Barry Galbraith Jazz Guitar Study 1 -- The Fingerboard Workbook: Concepts In Logical Fingering - Jazz Guitar Comping --- ## 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.co.uk/products/7651558-barry-galbraith-3-guitar-comping-play-a-long-book-cd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7651558-barry-galbraith-3-guitar-comping-play-a-long-book-cd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
