Okay, I recently made it into my high school's jazz band as a guitar player. Even though I have quite a solid background on several basic things, I still have a long way to go since I've only been playing for a year and a half. I've already gotten pieces that I need to practice on for rehearsals and they are all very challenging for me.
I know I should be learning a LOT of chords (in many different positions) and practicing on sight reading (both chords and notes) as much as I can, but I don't have any instructional books to guide me in this process.
So, I was wondering, if you guitar experts out there could help me with finding a few perfect books for me. What I need the most are obviously a book with all the essential jazz guitar chords and possibly another book with instructions for solos/improvisations. Well, I already have a book that I think would help me be better at sight reading notes, but I'm gonna state the title here in case some of you actually know or possess this book and to get opinions about if it would really help me improve. The book's called "50 Essential Bebop Heads Arranged For Guitar" by the publisher Hal Leonard. Also, please tell me anything and everything about how to be a better jazz guitarist overall: like the books that you think are great and stuff.
One love, thanks.
