Working on a New Play

A Manual of Techniques and Possibilities for the Adventurous Improvising Musician. Par KANE DAVID. Sure - everybody has an opinion on how to play ?outside?. But until now, no one has made an in-depth exploration of the commonalities and differences in how the greatest jazz players on the planet have incorporated their inspiring, harmony defying techniques. With Playing Outside the Chord, David Kane invokes a thoughtfully curated selection of transcribed phrases that take the reader beyond the simple mechanics of what is being played and offer revelatory insights into what the players are (or might be) thinking when they play it. It?s a daunting, seemingly impossible objective; yet here it is, beautifully examined, notated, and explained in an accessible way that every musician can understand. 'This book is a treasure trove, full of important information on chromaticism and its usage. From Bach to Schoenberg, Dave covers a lot of ground and the book is very well organized. He specifically addresses the melodic aspect of improvisation, including lines and phrases, rather than the usual emphasis on harmony. What's special is that he explores the ?feeling? and overall effect of the lines on the listener. This book is all you need as a working guide towards understanding the implications of 20th century jazz and classical music.? -David Liebman LEVEL-UP!!! If you?re feeling uninspired, stuck, or limited by your current play, this is the perfect book to help you break those chains, stimulate your creativity, and take your playing and composing in compelling new directions. Enthusiastically endorsed by modern jazz luminaries such as David Liebman and Richie Beirach, Playing Outside the Chord is devoted to melodic phrasing that transcends conventional chord/scale relationships. This exciting technique incorporating the theory and practice of horizontal playing and extended tonality pioneered by jazz titans such as Michael Brecker, Cory Henry, John Scofield, Brad Meldhau, and Jacob Collier is a vital component of the modern jazz performance and improvisation toolbox. Featuring over 200 musical examples gleaned from classic solos, plus 15 extensive transcriptions of legendary performances, this book is skillfully designed to clue you in on the theoretical basis of ?outside? play as practiced by these trail-blazing musicians. It systematically describes each type of technique used, including timing and source considerations, and by doing so unlocks a wealth of modern ideas that offer rich possibilities for the creative improviser. Kane?s insightful treatise on outside playing represents an important expansion of the ideas available to the dedicated student of improvisation. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Etude / Tout Instrument

Of Scott Joplin James Scott and Joseph Lamb-The great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were written mostly for Piano but many translate superbly for the Guitar and David Laibman will show you how.Here's a mystery: if the great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were not written for Guitar and if they weren't player on the Guitar at all (until some of us started doing so half a century ago) then why do they work so will on Guitar?Well thumb vs. three fingers on the right hand (we'll leave out thepinky for now) creates that subtle antagonism between steady bass and syncopated melody - the 'twinkle in the eye' of Ragtime. There is a theory that the original borrowing actually went in the other directed from three-finger Banjo to Piano. Who knows? But I'm finding that the 'educated thumb' is only one neat thing about ragtime Guitar. Classic rags are very expressive with moods and tempers hills and valley. You can capture some of this with left-hand notes (slides hammer-ons pull-offs) with right-hand brushes rolls nail strokes with clever use of open strings and natural harmonics. This works. It is it's own story - not an imitation of a Piano or of a dixieland or jazz band. It is simply - ragtime Guitar.In these lessons I have tried for the most part to meet two goals. First to create versions of some of the most beautiful classical rags that 'lay down' well on Guitar so when you play them you are working with the instrument not fighting it. I have tried to pitch and arrange the pieces so that a lot of the action is in first position rather than high up on the neck and to keep left hand gymnastics to a minimum. Second I didn't want these arrangements to sound like 'student' arrangements too elementary to be believable. It is all about striking a balance. I am generally pleased with the result and I hope
