R.I.P. Mickey 'Guitar' Baker

http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=777225

He worked in the greatest era of music IMO. What a ride that must have been.

    RIP Mickey.
     
    I bring out his chord book every so often. Keep telling myself that someday I will finish it in its entirety. Each time come closer, but still have not made it all the way through. Some great chords for reference and jazzing things up.

    Wow, to be honest I had no idea he was still alive! My dad gave me a copy of his Complete Course In Jazz Guitar 25 years ago and it sparked an interest in jazz chords. I remember practicing the tricky change from Gma7 to G6 for hours.
