Mel Bay - Mark E. Boling - The Jazz Theory Workbook

(125 pages)

Description: This is a primer in jazz theory, intended to prepare the student for the serious study of jazz improvisation, arrangement and composition. The focus is on the harmonic language of jazz, especially the harmonic practices which coalesced in the bebop and post bop periods, when bebop and standard tunes formed the core of the mainstream repertoire. The harmonic language of that period is still the framework on which contemporary jazz musicians build. Included are many musical examples and written assignments for practice in the theoretical skills. Appropriate exercises are provided to reinforce theoretical concepts by immediate application to the instrument.

Carlos Barbosa Lima - Guitar Scales

(20 pages)

"It shows 2-octave major and minor (melodic and harmonic) scales in both standard notation and tab. These scales are presented in major/relative minor format with fingering indicated for each note. Next, the C chromatic scale is shown in three octaves with creative fingering, followed by the C whole-tone scale. A unique feature of this book is the listing of major and minor modal scales using E as the tonic note. Finally, a few scales are shown in two and three octaves with optional fingerings using cross-string execution, and mixing harmonics with normally stopped strings. Ear training exercise are also included. This book is innovative in its scope and approach and is extremely beneficial to students of the guitar at any level."
