The Jazz Standards Guide-Tone Lines Book BB5
A focused workbook of guide-tone lines and line-building exercises for Bb instruments, Volume 5 in the Jazz Standards Guide series. Designed around updated Berklee Real Book progressions for practical rehearsal and improvisation practice.
This volume supplies fully analyzed standards with functional harmonic context, parallel reharmonizations, and concentrated guide-tone line material tailored for Bb instruments. Workbook-style progressions and target-note recommendations make it easy to practice voice-leading and applied line construction over each tune. Use alongside the series’ Progressions, Target Notes, and Upper Structures books for a complete approach to reharmonization and improvisation technique. Volume 5 matches the updated Real Book repertoire and is intended for jazz students, educators, and working musicians seeking detailed, hands-on harmonic study.
