The content of many "jazz" methods can be applied to most styles of music, even though delivery would be different and certain exercises specific to the style. Here are a few books you can check out:

  • "Daily Warm-Up Exercises for Saxophone" by Jackie McLean ($10). Covers the basic scales and chords with some additional info about tone and some solo transcription.


  • "Around The Horn" by Walt Weiskopf ($17). A book strictly about scales & chords (although a little atypical) with some etudes. Although the concept of the book is based around the most common jazz chord progression it can be used as a refresher of basics as well and presents a great challenge to fully master. If he's an intermediate player, this book would definitely be something he could use to practice with.


  • "Comprehensive Technique for Jazz Musicians: For All Instruments" by Bert Ligon ($18). Covers scales and chords with an amazing amount of exercises and detailed explanation as well as many other exercises which are more "jazz" related. Still a worthy book to get even if jazz isn't his focus.

    Finally, make sure he checks out this free ebook: "The Scale Omnibus". No chords but it's an incredible resource. From the description:

    > The Scale Omnibus is a FREE book that describes as many as 399 distinct scales in all 12 keys,with synonyms,historical notes,chords over which the scale sounds well,summary tables,and more. It took hours of researching,typing,read-proofing,and double-checking and might easily be the most complete book on this topic.
