Avec cette méthode, vous allez enfin apprendre et surtout comprendre comment utiliser la gamme mineure (naturelle) au piano, mais aussi découvrir tout son potentiel mélodique pour l'exploiter au mieux. Après quelques pages indispensables dédiées à la théorie, vous aborderez ces 12 gammes mineures - que tout pianiste se doit de maîtriser -, de la façon la plus cohérente et efficace qui soit. Ainsi, pour chacune d'elles, vous découvrirez en page de gauche le nom et l'emplacement des notes sur le clavier du piano (2 octaves), ainsi que les accords sur lesquels la gamme en question peut être jouée en toute sécurité. Sur la page de droite, en guise d'illustration, vous découvrirez une longue improvisation qui utilise cette seule et unique gamme, accompagnée de deux enregistrements (à télécharger), le premier pour la démonstration et le second pour la mise en application (support playback). Vous pourrez alors jouer à votre tour sur cette bande-son non seulement l'exemple proposé, mais aussi tout autre solo, mélodie ou improvisation de votre conception... issu de la gamme mineure en question bien sûr ! Tous les enregistrements de cette méthode (exemples et playbacks) peuvent être téléchargés gratuitement et très facilement en suivant les indications fournies dans le livre.
