The Bebop Guitar Improv Series VOL 1 - Workbook
A Comprehensive Guide To Jazz Improvisation
ABOUT THE BEBOP GUITAR IMPROV SERIES
Developed over a 10 year period by its author and used as an instructional method in various music schools, The Bebop Guitar Improv Series consists of two volumes with multi-media materials. It is intended as a guide to lead both the player with little or no formal improvisation skills, as well as the player who does so exclusively by ear, on the journey to becoming a seasoned jazz improviser. Each volume is comprised of 3 books: the Lesson Book, Workbook, and Scale & Arpeggio Book.
VOLUME 1 is devoted to teaching the rudimentary principles of jazz improvisation in theory and practice. It initially focuses on learning how to systematically develop a vocabulary to improvise over chord changes from a guitar-oriented technical perspective. A variety of essential harmonic progressions found in jazz are covered in order of difficulty. Each new progression is taught through a series of short etudes, and gradually introduces one or more of the chord/scales required to improvise over most jazz standards. Various melodic concepts and syncopated rhythms commonly used in the swing/bebop idioms, are covered as well.
VOLUME 2 builds on the principles explored in Volume 1 and explores various applications over Rhythm Changes, as well as standards based on major, minor and extended tonalities. The technical focus is on multi-positional playing using the entire fretboard.
