Download or read book Killer Walking Bass Volume 2 written by Jim Kalbach and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your search for the perfect walking line never ends. What makes a killer walking bass line? Of course, harmonic clarity and an impeccable rhythmic feel are essential. But we believe that having a keen melodic sense is what will make your walking style stand out. For more details about our melodic walking bass approach, including principles and examples, see KWB Vol. 1 and our blog: http: //blog.killerwalkingbass.com. In this volume, you'll get just the lines. In KWB Vol. 2, we included more tunes overall and chose songs with challenging chord changes. As with Vol. 1, the lines are conceived to be played behind the soloist. While walking over the head of the tune is important, most of the time you'll be supporting soloists.A vast majority of these lines rely only a quarter notes, a staple of walking bass. However, in Vol. 2 we've added embellishments. For the last tune in the book, "Dolphin Song" (like "Dolphin Dance"), we even provide two choruses without embellishments and then with them. We encourage you to think of how you'll enhance all of these lines on your flair. No tempos are given. Learn each piece slowly at first, but eventually move to a more suitable, standard tempo appropriate for the tune. In some cases, such as with "Expressions" (like "Impressions"), a very fast tempo may hinder your ability to play all of the embellishments. Adjust accordingly. Finally, we've included notes that can only be played on five-string basses or with bass extensions. These are indicated with smaller note heads as alternatives to notes available for four-string basses. We hope this collection helps in your quest to find the perfect walking line! Take your lines to the next level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "must have" for all pianists seeking a creative approach to developing left and right hand coordination. The exercises and solos (based on the chord changes to well-known standards) are rhythmic, colorful, and fun to play. The chapters cover six specific areas of left hand development and left/right hand integration, with practical application from standard jazz tunes in the form of musical solo piano pieces. This book will definitely be an essential part of your practice routine. Besides improving your hand coordination, it will challenge you to think differently about it. All of the concepts are easily applicable to the "real world." Highly endorsed "Pianist Emiko Hayashi has written a very comprehensive, challenging yet very accessible method book. With exercises designed for left hand alone and exercises designed to develop interplay between the hands, I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I've already started practicing " ---Kenny Barron "In Etudes for Jazz Piano Emiko Hayashi illuminates a challenge that faces scores of jazz pianists at all levels; that of integrating the left hand in improvisation in a meaningful way, not only as an accompanist, but as an integral part of the whole. By taking various jazz standards and creating etudes specifically for the left hand as well as for developing coordination and the conversational aspects between the left and right hands, Ms. Hayashi illustrates many possibilities for expanding one's technical and expressive range. I would think this set of etudes would be extremely useful to jazz pianists at any stage of development since the obvious outcome of the study will improve one's ability to play melodically and expressively throughout the keyboard, without regard to the traditional roles of the left and right hands." ---Todd Coolman "It is understood that all musicians must play piano. Emiko's book fills a void for non-pianists addressing specific technical problems which will help towa

This distinctive and extroverted voice of an undisciplined showman is presented with an introduction and epilogue by his widow, Barbara. This up close and personal perspective of the band's early days and late nights--including an instance where he locks himself out of the studio in full drag while tripping on LSD--chronicles the glorious, glamorous era of high times, high drama, and low comedy that captures the music, the style, and the life of the all-too-brief existence of the New York Dolls.

Download or read book Approaching the Standards Vol 3 written by Willie Hill and published by Alfred Music Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are two groups of standards that help form the basic repertory used in jazz improvisation. The first group was created by jazz musicians directly from improvisation, experimentation and the analysis of musical forms, ideas and practices that were developed through study and the natural gifts of some of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century. This group codified jazz into chronological styles and provides concrete examples of its styles and concepts. The second group of standards is comprised of compositions written as popular songs during the first half of the twentieth century ... Every improviser is a composer who makes up melodies spontaneously. The model choruses give examples that can be studied, learned, broken into independent phrases and used to create other melodies that reflect more clearly what the improviser wants to say musically ..."--Preface
