Product description
The world of melodic jazz banjo soloing is revealed in this comprehensive method which leads from basics to advanced theoretical concepts and finally to a firm foundation in jazz fundamentals. Starting with basic intervals, this shows the structure of all basic chord types and qualities and matches these to the scales that generate them. The book's basic concept model is to treat the five-string banjo's potential in an inclusive technical context so you can make use of open and fifth strings to create a smooth legato style. 90+ exercises are recorded with a metronome and progress to 16 additional examples of original jazz phrases in a variety of keys. Topics include functional major and minor key harmony, diminished and augmented scales and how they are used, and the integration of altered scale substitutes in the art of jazz improvisation. Intermediate.
