HOW TO IMPROVISE IN MODERN MUSIC is a book or ebook, oriented towards learning and practice of musically improvising on any instrument in every style of modern music: Jazz, Blues, Rock, etc. See full content …
The examples and exercises in this book are accompanied by 44 tracks in mp3 format which will help you understand every concept and transfer it to your instrument.
Application of these tools for the development of phrases and solos are grouped in 5 chapters where we shall work on the elements indispensable for a creative musical development.
In each chapter, information will be ordered by degree of difficulty, accompanied by theoretical concepts which will help you understand their application.
You may work, independently, on those points you may consider necessary to develop from any level, creating your own diary of practices, as I mention in detail at the introduction:
Scales (pentatonic, modal, Mixolydian, artificial, chromatic, etc.), arpeggios and their combinations, tensions and resolutions, guide notes, target tones, modulation, Swing, Blues, Turnarounds, “The Solo” y its guidelines, etc.
