All of this is then applied to the graduated studies that follow.Starting with simple melodies, and then progressively adding more complex figures based on arpeggios, scales, passing tones, and syncopated rhythms the graduated solos will teach students how to develop their own great solos by using the techniques contained herein. Graduated Soloing is stuffed full of great ideas/patterns/licks drawn from Mimis many years of playing with the top musicians in Jazz/Pop music.The book concludes with an explosive solo of Mimis over a 12 bar blues and includes tab as well as musical notation with a detailed analysis by the author.
