Come ?fare la stessa cosa? senza mai ?suonare la stessa cosa? sul basso? Ecco la domanda alla quale risponde questo metodo. Cioè come accompagnare lo stesso giro o lo stesso accordo, pur rinnovandosi di continuo? Per non annoiare sia chi ascolta sia sé stesso in quanto bassista. Lo scopo di questo metodo è quindi quello di aiutarvi a sviluppare la vostra creatività, tramite l?esempio e la pratica. Ci sono perciò poche spiegazioni ma molta musica? con 25 grooves di basso che evolvono in 4 modi diversi, ossia in tutto 100 grooves distinti. Ogni groove iniziale, costruito su un ciclo di 4 battute, inizia tranquillamente, semplicemente, e viene poi arricchito progressivamente nei 3 cicli successivi al livello ritmico e melodico. Per sviluppare al massimo la vostra creatività, tali grooves utilizzano diverse tonalità e ritmi molto vari. Sul disco dati allegato al metodo, troverete numerosi file audio e video. I video (mp4) presentano tramite l?immagine i 100 grooves così come devono essere suonati, a velocità normale, poi ridotta. Le registrazioni audio (mp3) invece propongono le basi musicali corrispondenti, a due velocità diverse. Potrete in questo modo suonare i grooves proposti sulle basi musicali, in ordine o in disordine, cercando a scelta di caricare le linee o al contrario di alleggerirle; oppure approfittare di questi giri e playalongs per sviluppare liberamente le vostre proprie idee.

No one- or two-bar riffs and licks but complete chord progressions performed in the style of illustrious blues Guitar players such as Otis Rush B.B. King Eric Clapton Freddie King Buddy Guy Albert King Stevie Ray Vaughan or Magic Sam! In the preliminary chapter of this tutorial you will first be taught how to piece basslines together in blues. This wonâ??t only allow you to comprehend the 50 basslines presented here but in a second step it will also enable you to create your own ones. For that you need to learn about structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromaticapproaches ... in sum to get to know blues by delving into it! The DVD included in the tutorial offers you the possibility to mindfully observe all 50 basslines â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed. This again gives you the opportunity to closely follow the movement of the hands to choose the right fingerings and keep a steady beat(!) For its part the MP3 CD is composed of as many backing tracks as there are basslines in the tutorial; the 50 backing tracks are recorded at two different tempi: the intended tempo (actual playing speed) and the rehearsal tempo (slower speed). On the backing track at actual playing speed the bass is only present during the first round then it disappears yielding the floor to you. The backing tracks provided here are of an appropriate length (about 4 to 5 minutes each which sums up to almost 7h of musical practice). This means that you have enough time at your disposal to practice under the best conditions.
