Product Details
Description
How do you learn to improvise? Greg Yasinitsky’s new method for beginners, Improvisation 101: Major, Minor and Blues has been thoroughly tried and tested in numerous workshops and classes. His method is based on easy-to-play pieces that each introduces, one at a time, the building blocks of jazz, rock and pop music. Each tune comes with sample solos, improvised and written out by experienced musicians. Step by step your skills will develop, from understanding the theory, to copying and elaborating, to playing and improvising freely. The included play-along recording provides you with both melody and playalong tracks, as well as sample solos for each piece.
