FOUR-FRET CONCEPT, THE 99 Different Ways of Improvising Over the Fundamental Jazz Progression II-V-I Includes Book and CD. 99 different ways of improvising over the fundamental jazz progression II-V-I. Written by Robert Riegler, a 2005 finalist in the first international Solo Bass Competition held by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey. To learn to solo and improvise as easily and headache-free as possible is the basic idea of this bass book. It is meant to give the beginning and advanced electric bassist access to jazz improvisation in the smoothest possible way. Certain prerequisite skills are assumed: basically, this book addresses electric bassists who can accompany the odd standard (and thus are acquainted with the jazz idiom in at least a vague fashion) but cringe at the prospect of having to solo (not to mention symptoms such as cardiac arrhythmia, circulatory insufficiency and profuse sweating). The basic harmonic structure of the present exercises is supplied by the ubiquitous II-V-I progression, a pattern found in many jazz standards, which shall consequently lie at the core of our improvisational attention. The "Four Fret System" fingering technique, whose strength lies in the visual recognisability of its patterns, is explained and showcased in 99 favorite licks (or "lines"). Kurt Erlmoser analyzes the structural level of the improvisations and provides an in-depth understanding of the process. The exercises are meant to cater to the theoretical and technical skills of the student; however, the actual goal should be absorbing the information and generating lines of your own.Retail Price: $21.95 Online Sale Price: $20.85 Product Details: Paperback Book & CD Package, Bass Product Code: TFFC This item usually ships within 5 to 7 business days.
