Jason Raso?s Soloing on Electric Bass: A Chord Tone Approach provides the next step following his first book for Mel Bay Publications, Improvising on Electric Bass. The primary focus of this second book is to help you develop a more melodic approach to solo bass playing. The author suggests avoiding root notes, concentrating instead on chord tones of a 3rd, 5th, and 7th as fertile ground to begin revising your approach to more creative soloing. Following a series of standard notation exercises exploring intervals and goal notes in all keys, Jason presents a dozen original solo etudes in notation and tablature.

Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, laying back on the...The book includes free downloadable audio tracks of twelve standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos.

This exciting, uptempo samba for advancing groups is a great way to spotlight a fabulous trombone section on the familiar In A Mellow Tone or Rose Room chord changes. Trombones not only play the melody, but also the shout chorus, and each player in the section has changes for soloing. In his score notes, the composer suggests adding two or more Latin percussionists to the standard personnel when possible. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 5:25.
