Starting where his âSerious Jazz Practice Bookâ left off, guitar legend Barry Finnerty has created another woodshed classic for all jazz soloists.
Recording artist with Miles Davis, the Brecker Bros., the Crusaders, Barry shows how to become a better improviser by melodically mastering the individual chords used in jazz, how they connect with each other, and how they are used in various song forms.
Among the sections of the book are:
1. âWhat A âCâ Can Beâ which discusses all the possible uses and harmonic functions of a single note.
2. âMastering The Changesâ which shows how to achieve melodic command of all the possible extensions and alterations of chords, and variations of common chord progressions.
3. âPlaying On Tunes - The Harmonic Approachâ which shows the practical application of the harmonic knowledge presented in the first part of the book.
4. âHarmonic Vocabularyâ featuring a wealth of melodic examples using all the chords and progressions previously learned.
