Le scale pentatoniche che siano maggiori o minori costituiscono il ?mezzo? ideale per tutti i bassisti che desiderano avvicinarsi all?improvvisazione. Con questo metodo imparerete quindi ad utilizzare questo tipo di scala per improvvisare con il basso. Dopo un minimo di teoria (costruzione posizioni relazione con l?armonia?) vi troverete tantissimi esempi musicali accompagnati da una base musicale specifica per poter applicare subito gli insegnamenti. Affronterete quindi l?improvvisazione in modo graduale prima su un solo accordo poi due tre ed infine quattro accordi. Con una sola pentatonica o dipiù. Poi su un giro completo od una cadenza specifica. Scoprirete infine la tecnica delle sostituzioni la quale permette di rimpiazzare una pentatonica con un?altra per 'condire' le vostre improvvisazioni. Il CD MP3 allegato al metodo presenta tutti gli esempi con le basi musicali corrispondenti ossia più di 4 ore di musica in tutto! Su ogni traccia il basso suona l?improvvisazione proposta poi lascia la base musicale andare avanti per qualche minuto per permettervi di suonare. Tali esempi vi servono quindi da trampolino per improvvisare poi più liberamente.

With this method, you will finally learn and especially understand how to use the minor scale (natural) on bass, but also discover all its melodic potential to exploit it at best. After a few essential pages dedicated to theory, you will approach these 12 minor scales - which every bass player must master - in the most coherent and effective way. Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes on the neck (22 boxes), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long bass line that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other groove or bass line of your design... from the minor scale in question of course! All the recordings of this method (bass lines and playbacks) can be downloaded for free and very easily by following the instructions provided in the book.

This method is designed for both the bassists and drummers and its purpose is to help them play together in almost all major musical styles: Rock Blues Funk Rhythm and Blues Disco/Dance Reggae Latin music etc... The many grooves presented here even if they can be practised alone are intended to be played in a band or at least by a bass/drum duo either on stage or in a studio or simply among friends. Each example displays the bass line along with its tab and the drum score just below allowing to situate each instrument in relation to the other. In this way the grooves can easily be read and analysed from both perspectives. For each style you will begin practisingone bar then two bar patterns... before tackling longer and more complex grooves. To put this into application all you will have to do is use your own chord changes or those you like as well as play the patterns you find interesting over these chords. On the CD the bass examples are played on the left channel and the drums examples on the right channel. With a centred sound balance you will be able to hear both instruments!
