I have only seen Mick play live once. I was IAJE in New York in 2004 and I saw that he was going to play in the lobby of the hotel I was staying in with Greg Hopkins. It was amazing how many guitarists showed up to that gig. Clay Moore, Chris Buzzelli and several more were there to check out the original “Advancing Guitarist”.
Mick is widely respected as an educator to many of modern jazz’s biggest names. Here is a recent video of Goodrick playing “Everything I Love”.
There are severl books written by Mick that have become standard reading for guitarists and musicians who want to increase their creativity.
The Advancing Guitarist – If you don’t have this, go NOW to buy it.
Almanac of Guitar Voice Leading – Several extensive volumes on how to go from one chord to another easily.
Factorial Rhythm for All Instruments – I haven’t seen this one yet, but it looks very interesting.
You can get all of his books and music from his website mrgoodchord.com
I took one of Mick’s ideas about voice leading and wrote out a worksheet for my students. This shows you how to progress through the diatonic chords in C major, C Harmonic Minor and C Melodic minor in a Cycle 4 pattern. Cycle 4 means that each chord is a fourth away from the chord that precedes it.
Let me know what you think.
