 Berklee Press - Catalog - Voice Leading for Guitar: Moving through the Changes
Significant demands can be placed on a guitarist, particularly in a pianoless band, and a key component that the guitarist must possess is a through knowledge of how to voice lead with 3/4/5 part chord voicings, in support of the melody and soloists.
A book on voice leading is a needed step in the evolution of jazz guitar education, and John is the best man to write it.
Samples from this title are available on Berkleeshares.com, where you can download free music lessons and share them with your friends.

 Music Theory: Melody: Voice Leading
When analyzing a melody with respect to voice leading, however, we look mostly at the intervals between the melody notes themselves.
Whereas one can analyze a chord progression in advance, a jazz musician must be able to improvise melodies on the spot.
Many improvisors, even many of those who take a very theoretical approach to harmonic analysis and the selection of scales to use in improvising, rely on their ears alone to guide them in voice leading.

 Tone and Voice: A Derivation of the Rules of Voice-leading from Perceptual Principles
Huron (1989b) found that as the number of concurrent voices in a polyphonic texture increases, expert listeners are both slower to recognize the addition of new voices, and more prone to underestimate the number of voices present.
Similarly, a human voice will nearly always be more salient than a musical instrument.
The solid line in Figure 5 shows the aggregate consonance values for musical intervals up to the size of an octave from perceptual experiments by Kaestner (1909).

 Music 15100, Harmony and Voice-Leading
These, together with CDs which include all the main musical examples from the text, are available at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore, 5757 South University Avenue, and will be used throughout the year (that is, in Music 15200 and 15300, as well as Music 15100).
I also stressed the importance of keeping in mind the profoundly vocal character of this counterpoint: to understand the exercises one must really sing through them (playing one voice on the piano, for instance), play them on the piano or guitar, and otherwise cultivate one's aural imagination for what they sound like.
First-species counterpoint continued; the structure of minor scales, and an introduction to phrase structure in tonal music; chord structure and rhythmic notation.

 Voice Leading
Ragtime and stride piano left-hand voicings often are defined, as notated above, with octaves on the root on beat one, on the fifth on beat 3, with the same voicing of the chord on beats 2 and 4.
Although the linear aspects of the progression become less apparent, the concept of watching and listening for the direction of individual voices in a chord progression is important in all musicmaking!
Left-hand piano voicings, for instance, can provide a reliable harmonic blueprint for the entire jazz tradition.

 Voicing and Voice Leading for the Contemporary Jazz Pianist
Although "Voicing and Voice Leading for the Contemporary Jazz Pianist" was developed primarily for jazz pianists, it has proven to be an excellent source of information for other instrumentalists who wish to develop the fundamentals of keyboard harmony as a means of feeding their improvisational ideas on their own instruments.
Right in the very first chapter a concept is revealed which will virtually revolutionize the way you think about voicings leading to an increase in harmonic creativity that will actually surpass your expectations.

 Re: Misleading Voice Leading
Well one area where shell voicings sound thin as accompaniment to a melody is when the melody itself is the 3rd or the 7th of the chords, as happens frequently in ATTYA.
So what > I'm trying to do is weave (or harmonize) a solo piano melody (or, as > you call it, improvisation) into the chord voicings, and his book does > not do that.

 Neapolitan
For example, one of the most common tendency tones in tonal music is #4, which acts as a leading tone to the dominant.
As well as filling in the interval of a third with passing notes, we can also insert a chromatic passing tone between two notes a whole step apart.
to V progression, the b2 in the soprano moving to the leading tone creates the unusual interval of a diminished third.

 About THE BOOK
What many of us have suspected all along has been proven to be true— Johann Sebastian Bach has been re-incarnated, wears a cap and suspenders, plays the guitar, and has just released a book under the name Mick Goodrick.
And the ultimate result of our basking in Mick's wonderful method of exploration might be that we build our own Almanacs from our own ideas.
With unbelievable voicings never heard before, new sounding arpeggios, and superb voice leading, Mick has brought us flying into the 21st Century!

 Guitar Tab Universe - Forum -> 03 - Advanced: Voice Leading
Although the voice crossing is something we try to avoid here in music theory land, if there is a reason to, it's acceptable.
While the bass goes down an 8ve, and the tenor stays at G and the alto stays at B, the soprano voice arpeggiates and even momentarilly crosses voicings with the alto.
Unfortunately, I can't do proper directional stems in Finale, to indicate which part is which.

 Voice Leading
Harmonic (chord) progressions are usually written in vocal style, that is, they are written as if the four voices of the mixed choir were to sing the progression.
In major scale harmony, the subdominant of the scale should not be doubled, because this leads to parallel octaves: the resolution is to the third of scale.
The following intervals are usually avoided: m7, M7 and A4 (d5), although a leap of an A4 (d5) can be used in the soprano when approaching the leading tone.

 ChopsFactory-Voice Leading
However, based on the way most of us learn chords, this is not the most obvious thing to do on the guitar.
When notes in one chord move to notes in the next chord in a progression in a musical and logical way, it is known as voice leading.
To voice lead effectively, you need to be able to play chords in the same area of the neck, without having to jump from the third fret to the tenth and back, for instance.

 VOICE-LEADING SPACE
The tonnetz is a traditional example of what I have previously called a compositional space ; such spaces are out-of-time networks of pitch-classes that can underlie compositional or improvisational action.
This paper studies networks of pitch-classes that model voice leading-the progression of pitches to form horizontal "voices" or "lines." While tonal voice leading depends on distinctions between step and leap, consonance and dissonance, chord-tone and embellishment, voice leading in post-tonal music simply and non-normatively describes the motions of pitches, one to another.
The result is a collection of voice - leading spaces, a new category of compositional space.

 Voice leading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, voice leading is the continuity between pitches or notes played
voice " rises from E to F while the top "voice" rises from G to A, this being a way to "lead" those voices.
Instead of thinking of the two successive chords vertically as separate, we are concentrating on the "horizontal" (temporal or linear) continuity between notes.

 MOZART'S USE OF RECURRING MELODIC PATTERNS AND VOICE-LEADING...
Frequently, the intervallic relationship between the outer voices produces voice-leading paradigms--contrapuntal/harmonic formulae that consistently support recurring patterns.
This paper offers a modification of the network representation in which the structural voice leading of the passage plays a prominent role.
Mozart used melodic patterns and voice-leading paradigms to teach melodic harmonization.

 "Contrapuntal Progressions and Voice-Leading Harmonies." Gutwein/Williams, INTRODUCTION TO COMMON-PRACTICE TONALITY
Because of the rhythmic regularity of chorale style, incidental V7-I progressions may, accidentally, sound cadential.
Contrapuntal progressions make no sense apart from good part writing since they arise from voice leading necessity.
Remember, however: Do not double the leading tone in a V, V7 or vii.

This will inevitably lead to a one-world society in which inter-racial marriage is the moral imperative, except for the Jews, who are already so thoroughly mixed that they don't require any instruction on this matter.
After the "Holocaust", their numbers were reduced substantially, and a significant number of them have married educated, talented, and most of all beautiful, non-Jewish women.

When playing ii-V-I progressions, the simple type of voice leading shown on the previous web page has the Root moving in 5ths down (or 4ths up) while one voice on the treble clef moves and one does not move.
As graciousy pointed out by jayemar in a post on the CharlieHunter.com Message Board, for those who are new to voice leading with 7th chords it helps to know that:
Notice in the first measure of the example, the Dm chord is voiced D-F-C (R-3-7), then the G7 chord is voiced G-F-B (R-7-3), then the CM7 chord is voiced C-E-B (R-3-7).

 [No title]
Indeed, preliminary work is already beginning to show such results, and to indicate that some of these voice-leading patterns typically form identifiable chains that span larger structural units.
A third goal of the study, really an outgrowth of the previous two, is to assess the manner in which these voice-leading patterns and chains of patterns coalesce into deeper structural patterns.
Thus it is anticipated that the patterns identified and collated at the foreground and higher middleground levels may lead to the recognition of a vocabulary of chains of interconnected voice-leading patterns.
