Playing on the Changes features 13 jazz etudes through the various chord qualities found in standards and jazz tunes in all 12 keys. Areas covered include major 7th chords, minor 7th chords, dominant 7th chords (Mixolydian, altered dominant, and half-whole diminished), minor ii (flat-5) chords, tritone substitutions, and a variety of progressions using all of the above. Bob Mintzer has written out etude solos that traverse the changes in a way that familiarizes you with the sound of each harmonic setting. Each etude is modeled after ideas---such as melodic and rhythmic patterns that create continuity---and singable melodies that he recommends using when improvising through the chord changes. Using the TNT 2 software, listen to and analyze the etudes, and by removing Mintzer's saxophone from the mix, you can then practice and play these harmonic exercises on your own with a stellar rhythm section. The amazing TNT 2 software allows you to slow down the tempo, too! / Instruments En Clé de Fa

Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de vous faire jouer vos premiers accompagnements à la basse. Vous commencerez ainsi par jouer de très simples lignes de basse à la ronde qui, au fil des pages, se feront progressivement plus riches, plus chargées, jusqu'à aboutir à des accompagnements mêlant blanches, noires et croches, sur des grilles Pop, Rock et Blues de 8 et 12 mesures. Soit 40 accompagnements au total, présentés dans la plus grande clarté avec, sur la partition, à la fois la portée et la tablature correspondante, mais aussi le nom des accords que la basse accompagne. Pour apprendre à jouer 'en place', mais aussi pour vous faire plaisir comme si vous étiez au sein d'un groupe, parmi d'autres musiciens, vous disposerez également d'un playback spécifique à chacune des 40 lignes de basse. Enfin, sur le disque de données (audios mp3 et vidéos mp4) joint à la méthode, vous trouverez pour chaque accompagnement une vidéo de la seule partie de basse, un enregistrement audio mêlant la basse et son playback, et enfin le playback lui-même, en version longue durée. Soit plus de 4 heures de musique en tout !
