Download or read book Extreme Warm Ups and Chops Builders for Guitar written by Michael J. Anthony and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive book jazz guitarist Michael Anthony addresses the need to build flexibility and technical proficiency in a way consistent with the melodicmotifs of contemporary music. Though the warm-ups are numbered, there is no order that must be followed. The guitarist may approach them according to his orher interest and inspiration. They include: arpeggios, scale patterns, melodic minor forms, chord-melody groups, stretching and contrary motion, double-stops, octavedisplacement, walking bass with comping, two line phrases, 'out of the box'geometric shapes, overlapping rhythms, long arpeggios and diminished scale patterns. The finish line exemplifies arpeggios outlining I-VI-II-V7 progressions in major and minor. In the words of Michael Anthony, I find that isolation of the rightand left hand is useful, but ultimately it is the timing and coordination of the two that is necessary. The benefits of these warm-ups are threefold: 1. Technical improvement. 2. Fingerboard knowledge. 3. Ear training. Written in notation andtablature

Download or read book Jazz Scale Workout written by Ken Karsh and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pursuit of improvisation (jazz or other styles), scales are the "palettes" utilized for creating melodies. Often, scales are only practiced ascending or descending step-wise. "Jazz Scale Workout" by Ken Karsh contains eight measure through-composed continuous eighth note exercises (or "workouts") utilizing "jazz style" melodies based around the Major, Dorian (minor seventh), Mixolydian (Dominant), and Super-Locrian (Altered Dominant) scales—the most common scales in the jazz idiom. Four basic guitar fingerings for each scale are provided for the foundation of these exercises. Since these scales are the basis for improvising over the frequently utilized ii-V-I progression, the final "workouts" found in this publication cover this area. There are two "workouts" provided for each scale form—one with only the scale tones (labeled "Diatonic") and the other with "outside" chromatic tones resolving to the diatonic scale tones (labeled "Chromatic"). the "workouts" can and should be tried with different fingerings and should be played in all keys for maximum benefit. "Jazz Scale Workout" provides an enjoyable "finger and mental fitness program" for guitarists interested in expanding their scale awareness in the jazz idiom.
