Learn how to solo like the masters! The ultimate practice book for serious jazz guitarists! The Cellular Approach is a practical method for developing the ability to create convincing jazz solos in a wide variety of playing situations. It takes actual jazz lines recorded by master players and then slices them up into small “cells” that can be re-combined into longer lines to fit almost any harmonic situation.This enables the player to improvise his or her own lines that sound just as interesting and melodic as the masters without resorting to simply copying others. Fingerings and string choices are often given too making it particularly valuable toguitarists who want to actually master their instrument.There is a complete discussion of how to break out of diatonic-derived lines by using the Cellular Approach to create “side-slipping” and other intervallic lines — creating ultra-hip solo phrases in the style of modern masters such as Pat Metheny Michael Brecker and Herbie Hancock.Finally the cell concept gets transcended as twelve tone rows in the style of Mike Stern and others are explored as well as lines derived from “23rd chords” — for the adventurous that are interested in paving a way into the future.

Par SIGWALT MICHEL. Cet ouvrage rassemble, décrit et développe les techniques guitaristiques purement électriques et rebelles : les divers procédés du jeu des harmoniques naturelles et artificielles, le jeu du vibrato/whammy-bar, et le jeu de la pédale/effet de wah-wah. Un tiers de ce volume est spécifiquement dévoué à l'étude détaillée des pincés d'harmoniques classique, jazz, rock, blues, picking, etc. Un second tiers expose la mécanique et les manipulations caractéristiques du vibrato puis combine les deux premiers procédés. Le dernier tiers de l'ouvrage collectionne et enseigne les effets de wah-wah pure, avant de les associer aux deux autres techniques. L'ensemble se base évidemment sur les plans, riffs et phrasés imaginés par Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Marc Knopfler, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson et bien d'autres encore. Le CD accompagnant l'ouvrage illustre ces différentes techniques. / Niveau : Avancé / Méthode / Guitare
