This is a method book. By playing through all of this book you will be able to hear chord changes on your instrument. This is achieved by playing single notes in specific melodic shapes that enable the mind to visualize and the ear to hear what combination of notes is available at every harmonic change. These melodic shapes will give the student the ability to visualize, hear and execute some of the more sophisticated sounds used in the craft of improvising. No one can teach creativity, so you must teach yourself to improvise through trial and error. This book will give you a knowledge of some of the musical tools used in improvising.
Comes with play-along music!
