Mel Bay's Bebop Blues book introduces the jazz language to the intermediate guitarist who already has a basic knowledge of the blues.

The material presented in this book will build on these basic blues playing concepts of adding color, expression, and sophistication to their music. The examples and exercises included here are easy to understand and enjoyable to play. Topics such as modes, bebop scales, enclosing (targeting), jazz comping, and chord construction are covered in standard notation as well as tablature.

Saxophonist John Coltrane was one of the most innovative, creative, and influential jazz artists of the 20th Century. Both stylistically and harmonically, he opened doors for others to follow. This book will focus on the first period of Coltrane's career, when he was with Miles Davis, and the jazz vocabulary he used. First, to help the student better understand Coltrane's bebop style of improvising, the authors discuss the use of guide tones, bebop scales, three to flat nine, targeting, and other techniques. Then the text presents numerous one-, two-, and three-measure jazz lines in Coltrane's style grouped by the harmony over which they can be used. The accompanying play-along CD provides the rhythm parts for each section, including a track for each section that modulates through the cycle of fourths, helping you master the phrases in all keys. By combining various lines, musicians will be able to mix and match numerous combinations of these lines to play over ii-V-I progressions, turnarounds, and other harmonic situations. Incorporate these essential jazz lines into your vocabulary and you will be able to create your own lines in the style of John Coltrane. Also available in Japanese from ATN, Inc.
