Par GORDON ANDREW D.. With the continued worldwide success of the book series Ultra Smooth Jazz Grooves that I co-authored with sax player Frank Villafranca based on compositions that we wrote for our band The Super Groovers, I have now authored this series of Smooth Jazz books for the following instruments: Piano/Keyboards, Guitar/Bass, Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Tenor and Alto Saxes, Trumpet and Trombone. Smooth Jazz covers a wide variety of different styles and I have combined elements of Jazz, Rock, Pop, Blues, Latin, GospeL Funk and RandB, Classical, Folk, New Age styles into the examples in the book. Smooth Jazz? is a genre of music that is predominately instrumental, usually very melodic in nature and in most cases features some jazz improvisation. and is usually performed at a medium tempo and tends to feature piano /keyboards, saxophone, trumpet, and guitar as the most common lead instruments playing the melody. Most Smooth Jazz is well produced and has memorable melodies over a backdrop of multiple tracks of rhythm instruments, keyboards, guitar, strings, synth pads, drums and percussion. Each riff has been recorded with the solo melodic instrument along with a rhythm backing track of guitar, keyboards/synths, bass, drums/percussion followed by just the backing tracks for you to practice with. Also included are backing tracks playing the chord progression through 10 times giving you extended time to practice your improvisational skills using the riffs in the book and developing them into your own style. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Etude / Guitare Basse

Par NEELY BLAKE / SCHROEDL JEFF. Always wanted to play bass? Then get on the FastTrack and make it happen now! FastTrack method books give you a fast way to learn how to play that new instrument (or the one that's been sitting in the closet for a few years). Skeptical because other method books haven't worked for you? That's exactly why we wrote these! They're designed for the player who wants to learn on their own terms with the help of some user-friendly instruction, professional audio and video examples, and cool music to play along the way. Don't worry: we're not going to just show you a few tricks to play one or two songs. You're going to get everything you need to start playing (this is a Hal Leonardbook, after all!) but then in a couple of weeks you'll become the player you've always wanted to be, ready to move into the songbooks filled with songs by the Beatles, Clapton, Hendrix, and more. And just in case that's not enough to convince you, the last section of all FastTrack Starter Packs (Guitar, Bass, Keyboard and Drums) include the same songs so that you and your buddies can form a band and jam together. So, yes, it IS time to reignite those rock star dreams! Includes notes and tab. The audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right. / Méthode / Date parution : 2018-05-04/ Méthode / Guitare Basse

Par RICHARDS ERIC. This is part of a series of inter-related instrumental workbooks for keyboard, guitar, bass guitar and percussion. Planned so that concepts are carefully introduced, consolidated and extended, this is the last of the three workbooks containing twenty-five units. They support and complement the teacher's resource through an innovative approach that encourages a creative attitude towards learning an instrument. Many sections contain work on improvisation and sight-reading and alternate units provide an ensemble piece, arranged for all the instruments covered by this project. Each book covers the same curriculum requirements regardless of instrument, however, this book acts both as a classroom resource and as an introduction to the art of percussion technique./ Méthode / Guitare Basse
