No more trouble with whole- and half-tone calculations no more bother with scale transpositions and visualizations either! This coursebook provides fretboard charts (24 frets) for every existing scale. No more trouble with whole- and half-tone calculations no more bother with scale transpositions and visualizations either! This coursebook provides fretboard charts (24 frets) for every existing scale (be it major minor pentatonic major pentatonic blues melodic minor harmonic minor whole-tone/half-tone diminished or whole-tone) and whatâ??s more for every existing key. It also provides the composition of each scale along with specific instructions on how to handle it. The DVD attached to the coursebook makes learning even easier. It shows you all the positions of the different scales and the essential points of reference in the 12 keys. Theabove-average backing tracks provided on the CD give you the opportunity to put the newly-learned scales into practice â?? in every key and in every musical style!

This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice. You will not find riffs or licks of one or two lines but rather full pieces in the style of some of the greatest bluesmen - Otis Rush BB King Eric Clapton Freddie King Buddy Guy Albert King Stevie Ray Vaughan Magic Sam and more. Before addressing the 50 Bass lines in this method a preliminary chapter will teach you how to build lines in the blues style. In doing so you will be able to analyse what you areplaying later before learning to create your own. Youâ??ll also be introduced to structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromatic approaches and more. The included DVD allows you to listen to all of the featured Bass lines played at normal speed thenat a reduced speed in order to learn the right gestures. The MP3 CD contains backing tracks for you to play along to at two different speeds: the first being normal (the speed to be achieved) while the second is reduced to help with study. Intotal over seven hours of music is included giving you the opportunity to practice in the best possible conditions.This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice.

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.

Cet ouvrage vous propose pas moins de 200 grooves et lignes de basse en slap par boucles de 1 2 ou 4 mesures. Chaque ligne proposée (plus ou moins complexe) pourra être considérée comme un véritable groove à faire tourner indépendamment de toutes les autres afin d'assimiler le travail en boucle qui favorise 'l'assise'
