Le scale pentatoniche che siano maggiori o minori costituiscono il ?mezzo? ideale per tutti i bassisti che desiderano avvicinarsi all?improvvisazione. Con questo metodo imparerete quindi ad utilizzare questo tipo di scala per improvvisare con il basso. Dopo un minimo di teoria (costruzione posizioni relazione con l?armonia?) vi troverete tantissimi esempi musicali accompagnati da una base musicale specifica per poter applicare subito gli insegnamenti. Affronterete quindi l?improvvisazione in modo graduale prima su un solo accordo poi due tre ed infine quattro accordi. Con una sola pentatonica o dipiù. Poi su un giro completo od una cadenza specifica. Scoprirete infine la tecnica delle sostituzioni la quale permette di rimpiazzare una pentatonica con un?altra per 'condire' le vostre improvvisazioni. Il CD MP3 allegato al metodo presenta tutti gli esempi con le basi musicali corrispondenti ossia più di 4 ore di musica in tutto! Su ogni traccia il basso suona l?improvvisazione proposta poi lascia la base musicale andare avanti per qualche minuto per permettervi di suonare. Tali esempi vi servono quindi da trampolino per improvvisare poi più liberamente.

With this method, you will finally learn and especially understand how to use the minor scale (natural) on bass, but also discover all its melodic potential to exploit it at best. After a few essential pages dedicated to theory, you will approach these 12 minor scales - which every bass player must master - in the most coherent and effective way. Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes on the neck (22 boxes), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long bass line that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other groove or bass line of your design... from the minor scale in question of course! All the recordings of this method (bass lines and playbacks) can be downloaded for free and very easily by following the instructions provided in the book.

The first chapter details linear tapping the second will teach you how to create great riffs and licks with tappedarpeggios the third lets you combine tapping and chords while the fourth and final chapter will reveal polyphonic tapping. While some technical exercises are revealed this method is primarily based on practising ensuring that you master all the techniques through playing them.  The accompanying DVD is a great help in letting you hear and visualise how the tapping should sound and be played. Two different speeds enable you to see how it's done at normal speed then slowed down so you can play along and gradually get to grips with the style. With technical and musical examples within this method you will gain all the details needed to grasp Bass Guitar tapping!

Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de vous faire découvrir travailler et surtout jouer les arpèges à la basse. Les arpèges constituent indéniablement l’outil principal du bassiste. Apprendre à jouer de la basse sans passer par la case «arpèges» semble aussi incongru que de vouloir chanter sans même savoir parler. Alors et puisqu’il s’agit d’un passage obligé la présente méthode se propose de vous en faire découvrir tous les contours... Le rôle du bassiste étant avant tout d’accompagner la plus grande partie de cette méthode seraévidemment dédiée au développement des lignes de basse (avec les arpèges «majeur» «mineur» «maj7» «m7» «septième» ou encore «demi-diminué») afin de vous rendre rapidement capable d’accompagner n’importe quelle grille d’accords. Il sera alors temps d’aller un peu plus loin encore en utilisant les arpèges pour l’improvisation et la création de mélodies ou solos. Sur le disque joint à la méthode vous trouverez de très nombreux fichiers audios et vidéos. Les vidéos (mp4) présentent en images les multiples lignes de basse et improvisations telles qu’elles doivent être jouées à vitesse normale puis au ralenti. Les enregistrements audios (mp3) pour leur part proposent tous les playbacks correspondants là encore à deux tempi différents. Vous pourrez donc y jouer à votre tour les lignes et solos proposés mais aussi et surtout développer librement vos propres créations à l’aide des arpèges suggérés.

Voici donc une méthode progressive entièrement dédiée à l'improvisation, tous styles confondus. Elle s'adresse à tous les niveaux, aussi bien au débutant qui désire comprendre les bases de l'improvisation, qu'à celui qui a un niveau plus avancé et qui pourra apprendre de nouveaux langages, de nouvelles gammes, la relation gammes/arpèges, les modes... Nous évoluerons ici de façon pyramidale, en débutant par les arpèges (majeurs et mineurs), puis nous passerons aux gammes pentatoniques et blues, premières gammes d'improvisation par excellence. Ensuite, nous ferons la place aux gammes majeure et mineures, ainsi qu'aux modes. Nous terminerons notre exploration avec les relations des accords les uns par rapport aux autres, ainsi que le système des tensions/résolutions. Tout au long de cette méthode, nous aborderons différents styles que vous serez amenés à rencontrer en improvisation : blues, rock, funk, bossa, jazz? Le DVD vous permettra de visualiser tous les moments clés de l'apprentissage de l'improvisation : positions des gammes, doigtés usuels, partitions jouées en direct, exemples et démonstrations... mais vous donnera aussi la possibilité d'improviser librement 'en live? avec un vrai groupe de musiciens, sur un bon nombre de playbacks prévus à cet effet ! / Guitare Basse
