In order to help you, each bass line is preceded by an explanatory text detailing its technical, rhythmical and theoretical aspects. Difficulty increases progressively throughout the pages. The Video DVD allows you to hear andmoreover to watch these 50 bass lines as they should be played, giving you the opportunity to see the correct moves, to pick the right fingers and to be rhythmically accurate! The mp3 CD contains as many tracks as bass lines, that is 50 play-along tracks featuring two different tempos: the objective tempo (normal) and the practice tempo (slow). On the normal tempo track, the bass plays over the first cycle and is mute hereafter to let you take the place! Lastly, these tracks have a deliberately long duration (3 to 4 minutes each, more than 7 hours of music then!) to give you time to practise in the best possible conditions.

Deel 2 is geschikt voor wie minstens vijf jaar les heeft gehad en het materiaal uit deel 1 onder de knie heeft. In Inleiding tot improvisatie komt het improviserenover akkoorden uitgebreid aan de orde. Ook luisteroefeningen, analyses van toonsoorten en verschillende stijlen - met de daarbij behorende muzikale vormen en patronen - zijn in deze methode te vinden. Bij elk van de twee boekenis een cd bijgevoegd met luister- en meespeeloefeningen, die je helpen om te improviseren over steeds ingewikkelder structuren tot je de kunst van de improvisatie zelfstandig beheerst.
