Ever wondered how guitarists like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall find such full, lush voicings?
Well, much of that sound is based on the Drop 2 principle. In this brand new title, acclaimed player and teacher Randy Vincent explains exactly how you can get that same sound too.

The book includes:

- All the basic principles of drop 2 melody harmonisation, including passing tones and extension tones, as well as basic chord tones
- Practical, guitar-friendly methods for creating hip, modern sounds by "tweaking" the basic drop 2 voicings
- Clear methods for soloing and comping in drop 2
- An organized practice routine, including fingerboard diagrams as well as standard notation, to fully develop all of the above, with a minimum of theory.

The Drop 2 book covers this essential material in a clear, concise way and is accompanied by 2 CDs of the author demonstrating each exercise.
