'When somebody tells me that they wish they could improvise I usually reply 'If you really want to you will'. This may seem quite a hard line to take but if the will to improvise exists there is no reason why anyone with however limited a command of their instrument (or voice) cannot realise their ambition the degree of proficiency attained obviously varying with individual abilities and above all the amount of personal effort. As much time as possible should be allocated to ear-training. There are many cassette courses available on the market - such as the David Burge course (for both perfect and relative pitch development). Also the development ofharmonic knowledge should be on-going and to this end use of a keyboard of some kind is imperative. Don't worry how bad a pianist you are - you can only improve. An improviser draws upon any sources available to enhance his/her vocabulary - a popular song for instance or a Chopin waltz or the modes of Messaien or the pandiatonicism (this being simpler than it sounds) of Stravinsky. It is very healthy to expose yourself to a wide spectrum of music - you will probably find this will lead to the development of other skills such as musical analysis or composition - which of course may well be of material use at times when engagements are thin on the ground and one can turn to arranging or writing a jingle or even a film score. All the pieces in this book have a theme followed by a quasi-improvisational section and a reprise of the theme. If you wish feel free to invent your own improvisation or play the written one or perhaps use the first four bars of the written one as a springboard. Please feel free to imbue these pieces with your personality making alterations and decorations as you feel them.' - Tony Coe

Par BEATLES THE. The Beatles were undoubtedly one of the most influential bands ever, with clear similarities still noticeable in many hits of the nineties. Almost anyone who has picked up a guitar has probably learned to play something from the enormous repertoire of songs written by the legendary Lennon and McCartney combination. This guitar workshop is a powerful learning tool that will help you extend your stockpile of licks and fills and develop your improvisational skills. The combination of musical notation and guitar tablature in this book together with backing tracks on the CD gives you the opportunity to learn eight of the Beatles' tracks note for note and then jam with a professional session band. The track listing reflects some of the Beatles' most popular recordings, providing something for guitarists to have fun with and improvise with, as well as something to aspire to. The CD is split into two sections - section 1 is the backing tracks minus lead guitar and vocals, while section 2 is the backing tracks with all guitar parts added, so in addition to the written tab you can hear the rhythm, fills and solos as they should be played! The 'Jam With...' series allows you to accurately recreate the original songs, or to use the transcriptions in this book in conjunction with the backing tracks as a basis for your own improvisation. Includes superb quality, live recorded backing tracks plus note for note transcriptions to 9 classic tunes. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Rép International / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

The Melakarta System. Par IYER RADHIKA. Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory.

Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one's musical perspective beyond traditional diatonic scales.Indianmusic has intrigued the West for a long time, but hasn't always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire.

The intermingling of these two worlds can inspire new, exceptional sonic landscapes.Useful literature on the evolution of the Indian melodic system is also included, with notes on how it can be used as a modus operandi by Western musicians who wish to apply Indian scales in Western compositions and improvisations.Includes access to online audio Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory.

Book 1 Book With Online Audio. There are things in life you cannot learn from books. Jazz, rock, and the blues are among them. To play these improvised styles of music, it's important to look beyond the sheet music and theory manuals. The process involves learning by ear, directly from the music itself. Learning by ear acquaints you with melody, harmony, and rhythm in terms of how these elements sound rather than how they look on paper. This familiarity lies at the very heart of improvising. This book and its accompanying CD will serve as your guide as you develop your jazz, rock, and blues improvising talents. It introduces the experience to anyone with a year of basic Piano under their fingers. Improvisations featured on the CD will offer inspiration, and illustrate improvising techniques introduced in the text. Ultimately, you will be prepared for learning directly from the recordings of your favorite artists. / Niveau : Facile / Méthode / Piano

Par RICKER RAMON. Contemporary straight-eighth 'Maiden Voyage' feel. This chart takes up where 'Suspended Animation' left off. Uses same two suspended chords and adds a bridge. There is space for anyone in the band to solo. To help the beginning improviser, the composer has included some brief 'Notes on the Improvised Sections'. In addition this chart is correlated with material found in Vol. 1 of the Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series. Advance Music is proud to present our new Groovin' Easy Series. We've taken 10 tunes from two popular Advance Music publications (Reading Key Jazz Rhythms and The Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series) and asked our writers to give us creative and musically challenging charts that are also playable by young bands. To the normal big band instrumentation of 5 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm section we've added optional parts for flute, clarinet, French horn, guitar and auxiliary percussion. In addition, each chart is written to sound full with a reduced instrumentation of only 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm section. The brass ranges are reasonable with the lead trumpet never going above a written C and the rhythm section parts are carefully notated and thought out./ Répertoire / Big Band
