Synopsis

JAZZ GUITAR IMPROVISATION RANGE

The third book in the Fastlines range for guitarists looking to increase their solo ideas for jazz guitar improvisation. The Fastlines series gives you the musical ideas to create improvisations that sound authentic.

If you have already bought the Fastlines Primer and Intermediate books for jazz guitar, or if you are a guitarist who already has a very good facility on the instrument and knowledge of scales and arpeggios, then this book is for you.

WHAT DOES THIS BOOK OFFER?

1. This book contains twenty two jazz guitar "licks" (or lines) usually over four bars in length. 
2. Each line has a detailed description of how the melodies were created and work against the chords shown. The Fastlines are played twice, slow then fast. All music comes in music and TAB notation so if you can't read music, you can still play all the music presented. All Fastlines have a QR code for immediate playback on smartphones and tablets. 
3. All lines presented have been created over common jazz progressions that are used countless times in thousands of jazz standard songs.
4. There are ten written projects to help you understand the theory used in jazz music and guitar playing in general. You can then use these projects to expand the "line" ideas presented and to create solos that reflect your own musical style.
5. There is a short solo created by joining many of the Fastlines together. This solo shows how the lines can be joined together in a musical way to great effect.
6. There are five backing tracks of common jazz styles to play your newly learned Fastlines along with to hear them in context.
7. All Fastline tracks and backing tracks are available for book owners to download from the GMI - Guitar & Music Institute website at https://www.guitarandmusicinstitute.com
