Con no menos de 50 grooves en slap, a la manera de los mejores bajistas slap (Alain Caron, Marcus Miller, Flea, Larry Graham, Jonas Hellborg, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Louis Johnson...), nuestro libro colmará a todos los bajistas deseosos de tocar groove sin parar... y eso gracias a esta técnica muy excitante. Todos los ademanes del slap están representados: thumbing y popping, por supuesto, pero también slap de mano izquierda, double stops, notas muertas, hammers, pull-offs, slides, pulgar ida y vuelta.. todo lo que le permite perfeccionarse y ser más creativo. Un cap tulo preliminar explicará esas diferentes técnicas. El DVD V deo permite escuchar y sobre todo visualizarlos 50 grooves tales como se deben tocar... a velocidad real y luego más lenta. El CD MP3 abarca todos los playbacks que se corresponden con los grooves. O sea 50 playbacks tocados en dos aires diferentes : el aire deseado (velocidad real) y el aire de trabajo (más lento). Duran mucho y lo hemos hecho adrede (4 o 5 minutos cada uno, o sea ¡más de 7 horas de música en total!). Dichos playbacks le brindarán la oportunidad de divertirse tocando en las mejores condiciones posibles.

Resignation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.
