Download or read book The Art of Two Line Improvisation written by Jimmy Wyble and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of etudes, written during the 1970's, was composed as a result of Jimmy Wyble's explorations into the musical worlds of counterpoint, harmony and chord melody improvisation for the jazz guitar. the right and left hand fingerings presented in this book were also developed as techniques needed to improvise jazz in two lines. Jimmy uses very standard jazz guitar chord shapes in these etudes; however, these shapes move through the harmony in lines rather than block chord structures. This broken chord technique creates a unique contrapuntal sound that separates Jimmy from the rest of the fingerstyle jazz guitar world. It is hoped that jazz and classical guitarists playing and working through these etudes will see many familiar chord shapes moving in new ways and creating new sounds. These new harmonic sounds combined with beautiful melodies will inspire any quitarist to new levels of musical creativity. Written in notation and tablature. 92 pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever seen those guitarists that sound like they know exactly what they’re doing when they’re improvising? They just seem to hit all the right notes while their playing sounds crisp and melodic, as if they’d planned it all out beforehand, or were born with a God-given sense of melody. I’d always wondered how on earth they were able to come up with such melodic and flowing lines, thinking that they must simply be gifted, or have done some serious woodshedding. Then, during one unforgettable class at music college the door was opened to a method for playing and thinking as melodically and as effortlessly as they did, and this is what I want to share with you in this eBook.

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.

Download or read book How to Play Like Allan Holdsworth written by Graham Tippett and published by Unlock the Guitar. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since my first guitar teacher introduced me to the music of Allan Holdsworth in the late 90s, it has been an ongoing apprenticeship. I became fascinated, not only with his music, but with his approach to music itself, and the way he thinks about chords, scales and improvisation. Allan’s REH video was a blessing for me as I was able to glean enough insight into his playing to understand the way the great man thinks, and more importantly to begin to apply those concepts to my own playing. I struggled with music theory and orthodox approaches, so when Allan’s beautifully simple way of thinking about chords and scales clicked for me, I knew I had found something that finally made sense. I must admit, I couldn’t play you a single Allan Holdsworth lick, and I wouldn’t want to as the thought of dissecting his music in that way was always unappealing to me. What I wanted to do was get inside his head, grasp his way of thinking about music, and find out exactly how he was able to come up with such intricate yet outrageous lines and compositions. And that is precisely what this book is about. Allan’s playing looks incredibly complicated, and then some, to the innocent bystander, but the approach behind it is incredibly simple and easy to grasp. It’s so straightforward in fact that most players who have attempted to describe what he does completely miss the point. Once you do understand his approach, however, you’ll have a new appreciation for how far he’s taken it, and how far it can go. This book is not for the faint-hearted, but you shouldn’t be put off by thinking that you’ll be getting to grips with a lot of tricky concepts, because you won’t; Allan’s way of thinking is almost childlike in its simplicity, and when you glimpse it I can assure you that you'll be intrigued.
