Si vous possédez une pédale de boucle (looper) ou envisagez de vous en procurer une, cette méthode vous donnera toutes les clefs pour en optimiser l'utilisation. Et si vous souhaitez rendre vos sessions de basse plus fun avec ce fabuleux 'outil', développer votre créativité, créer ou improviser, et finalement faire sonner votre basse comme s'il s'agissait d'un groupe à elle toute seule... alors cette méthode sera assurément pour vous une immense source d'inspiration, qui vous aidera à 'boucler' sans fin... Avec ses 20 accompagnements, composés chacun de trois boucles (grooves, accords, percussions...), vous découvrirez des tas d'idées pour construire ensuite, et cette fois par vous-même, des accompagnements aussi riches que variés. Vous pourrez ainsi vous contenter au départ de jouer les exemples tels quels, avant d'apporter progressivement votre touche personnelle, et déboucher sur des accompagnements complets qui vous ressemblent. Pour vous aider dans cette démarche, chaque boucle est enregistrée (sur le CD?MP3?joint), séparément tout d'abord, puis en combinaison avec une autre, et enfin avec ses trois composantes... afin de vous permettre de jouer toutes les formules possibles, d'apporter toutes les modifications souhaitées, ici, là ou ailleurs !

Saper leggere e suonare un ritmo fa parte delle basi che ogni bassista deve assolutamente padroneggiare. In realtà molti incontrano difficoltà nell?interpretazione ritmica di uno spartito o di un qualsiasi esercizio scritto e sono quindi incapaci di superare questo scoglio senza l?aiuto di un esempio audio o video attinente.Questo metodo che si rivolge a tutti i bassisti dal principiante al più avanzato colmerà tutte le vostre lacune e vi darà solide basi per finalmente acquisire o migliorare il senso del ritmo. Estremamente progressiva quest?opera didattica vi farà lavorare su tutte le figure di ritmoessenziali per suonare il basso. Ma la sua vera ricchezza risiede nel suo approccio tanto pratico quanto pienamente musicale. Non si limita alla teoria. In effetti per affrontare le figure ed i ritmi avrete a che fare con veri grooves.Il che significa che lo studio viene svolto in vere condizioni musicali cioè con vere linee di basso da suonare su diverse basi musicali per progredire al livello ritmico e divertirsi al livello musicale! Sul disco dati allegato al metodo troverete numerosi file audio e video. I video (mp4) presentano tramite l?immagine i numerosi esempi e grooves così come devono essere suonati. Le registrazioni audio (mp3) invece propongono le basi musicali corrispondenti alle diverse linee studiate.

Quest'opera ha lo scopo di farvi scoprire studiare e soprattutto suonare gli arpeggi sul basso. Gli arpeggi costituiscono senza dubbio 'l?attrezzo' principale del bassista. Imparare a suonare il basso senza passare dalla casella 'arpeggi' sembra tanto incongruente quanto voler cantare senza nemmeno saper parlare. Quindi visto che si tratta di un passaggio obbligato il presente metodo vi propone di farveli scoprire? Il ruolo del bassista essendo prima di tutto quello di accompagnare la maggior parte di questo metodo sarà dedicata allo sviluppo di linee di basso (con gli arpeggi maggiori minori di settima maggiore di minore settima disettima di dominante di semidiminuita) in modo da rendervi rapidamente capaci di accompagnare qualsiasi giro di accordi. Approfondiremo poi lo studio utilizzando gli arpeggi per l?improvvisazione e la creazione di melodie ed assoli. Sul disco dati allegato al metodo troverete diversi file audio e video. I video (mp4) presentano tramite l?immagine le numerose linee di basso ed improvvisazioni così come devono essere suonate a velocità normale poi ridotta. Le registrazioni audio (mp3) invece propongono le basi musicali corrispondenti a due velocità diverse. Potrete in questo modo non solo suonare le linee e gli assoli proposti ma anche e soprattutto sviluppare liberamente le vostre proprie creazioni con l?aiuto degli arpeggi suggeriti.
