It initially focuses on learning how to systematically develop a vocabulary to improvise over chord changes from a guitar-oriented technical perspective. A variety of essential harmonic progressions found in jazz are covered in order of difficulty. Each new progression is taught through a series of short etudes, and gradually introduces one or more of the chord\/scales required to improvise over most jazz standards. Various melodic concepts and syncopated rhythms commonly used in the swing\/bebop idioms, are covered as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVOLUME 2\u003c\/b\u003e builds on the principles explored in Volume 1 and explores various applications over Rhythm Changes, as well as standards based on major, minor and extended tonalities. The technical focus is on multi-positional playing using the entire fretboard.\u003cbr\u003eFor more info please visit \u003cb\u003ehttps: \/\/bebopguitar.richiezellon.com\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richie Zellon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515164748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515164746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.26d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richie Zellon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939970679039,"sku":"9781515164746","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1eea8b0a-0e81-443e-9550-d8d9a719ac26.jpg?v=1681444534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bebop-guitar-improv-series-richie-zellon-9781515164746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
