Jazz-Blues
Uptempo
Mid Tempo & Slow Tempo-Jazz

Jazz-Funk
Modal-Jazz
Latin-Jazz
Acid-Jazz
Pllay solos by utilizing chord progressions from popular jazz songs including: Misty, Girl from Ipanema, This Masquerade, Europa etc. as well as 12 bar Blues progressions.
This is great source material to learning new improvisational ideas that would take you many hours of study, listening and transcribing the parts from albums.
The audio files that comes with the book has the examples recorded twice. The first version has the solo recorded with the rhythm backing tracks, the second version has the backing tracks without the solo recorded so that you can practice soloing along with the backing tracks. |
