Getting Your Improvising Into Shape (Mel Bay Presents)

by David Becker

This wonderful project focuses on the use of chord shapes (mainly triads) in building a single line solo. It also opens up some of the mystery of the fretboard byshowing exactly how the fretboard relates to diatonic harmony without usingsingle note scales. Not only will new lines appear easier, but new and usable chord voicings will also appear. These chords will be related to the lines beingplayed. It also will help move away from position playing and open up the neck, removing any black holes. There is also a look at phrasing and how rhythmicunderstanding is important to the improving harmonic and melodic development. Includes access to online audio
