All Things Jazz Guitar and the Jazz Guitarist
Jazz Guitar, Archtop Jazz Guitar Luthiers, Online Lessons, Book, Links, Jazz Amps and more...
JazzGuitarResources.com and its predecessors have been on the web in one form or another since 1995.
May 2010 Update - I've consolidated the JazzGuitarResources.com site into the main CurtSheller.com site for ease of maintence and to add some great new content.
JazzGuitarResources.com site has the largest collection of archtop guitar luthiers listed on the web, the planet. Over 200 and counting. I also have the largest listing of fellow jazz guitarists on the web, over 500 jazz guitarists.
- Jazz Guitar
The guitar portion of this site is mainly dedicated to jazz guitar, archtop luthiers and jazz guitarists. I've been playing, sttudy and teaching jazz guitar since my early twenties and "jazz" is a big influence on my guitar and ukulele performance.
- Surf Guitar
I love the instrumental music of the 60's. I got my guitar start listening to and try to play in this style.
Al Caiola's Tuff Guitar was my favorite album back then.

The Advanced Guide to Guitar Chords - Volume I
If you ask, "When I'm playing a solo over a jazz song, how do I know which notes work at any point in the song?" then you may want to have a look at this book (Harmonic Anaylsis for Scale Selection and Chord Substitution).
You can glean this information from many sources, but this is a pithy, direct approach to the heart of the answer you're looking for. I would also suggest, for a broad, comprehensive, and beautifully written "Bible" on understanding jazz, Mark Levine's "The Jazz Theory Book."

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!
Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!
You can also make a donation to the lesson-site fund. Button in the sidebar of the site.
If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
