Scales Into Chords

No more trouble with whole- and half-tone calculations no more bother with scale transpositions and visualizations either! This coursebook provides fretboard diagrams (24 frets) for every existing scale (be it major minor pentatonic major pentatonic blues melodic minor harmonic minor exotic or symmetric) and whatâ??s more for every existing key. It also provides sample chords over which these scales (solos improvisations or riffs) may be played and brief instructions for their use. 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(!)

Paul Jeanjean was the principal clarinetist of the Garde Républicaine Band and later of the MonteCarlo opera and was obviously a musician of the greatest sensitivity. His etudes are hightly developed concert works that can make for very impressive additions to recital programs.Jeanjean provided wonderfully detailed directions for his etudes. Charles Neidich has by and large left what he has written and have only brought Jeanjean's notation more into accord with modern conventions; e.g. that accidentals within a measure generally do not transpose octaves. This edition's notes at the bottom of each page explain the various modern chords andscales (augmented chords 9th chords whole tone scales for instance) he used in each of his etudes. These unfortunately were eliminated in the previous English version.The noteworthy feature of this edition is the recording of Charles Neidich's performance of the etudes. Rather than clutter Jeanjean's already expressively notated scores with still more markings the recording offers as a window into the modern yet romantic style of the etudes and as models of the kind of performance to which the student should aspire.
