The CD that accompanies this book can make learning with the book
easier and more enjoyable. The symbol shown above will appear next to
every example that is on the CD. Use the CD to help insure that you are
capturing the feel of the examples, interpreting the rhythms correctly, and
so on. The track numbers below the symbols correspond directly to the
examples on that page. Track I will help you tune your guitar to this CD.
Introduction
There are many factors that go into a good jazz solo. Understanding music theory, along with the
ability to execute numerous scales, patterns and arpeggios, is just part of the picture. You must also
develop a sense of melody. Jazz students go about this by spending quite a bit of time studying the
improvised solos of others-specifically, "lifting" nice melodic ideas for use in their own solos, or at
least to influence their own playing in some way. These short melodic ideas become their "licks." This is perfectly acceptable.
In the long run, everything you have studied and listened to blends together to become your "sound:'
Problems arise when a player uses licks as the only tool for creating solos. Stringing an assortment of licks together is not improvising. Improvising is expressing the moment with spontaneously created ideas (as much as possible). Most of these ideas are based on things you have already learned, studied and heard.
Ideally,when improvising, we are combining these things in new and exciting ways. So, it makes sense to expose yourself to a lot of nice melodies. Learning a variety of tunes will help and so will learning licks-the ones you transcribe from recordings and the ones you get from books like this one.
This book has two main sections. The first part deals with licks that will work over specific chords.
Most types of chords are represented. For each type of chord, you will be shown the chord formula (as derived from a scale) and four sample voicings. In this section, there are four one-measure licks and six two-measure licks that will work well over the chord. When you find a melodic idea you like, memorize
it and learn to play it in all keys. Then practice inserting the idea into your own solos. Always look
for ways to vary the lick and make it your own.
The second section deals with licks that work over entire chord progressions. Many of the most common progressions are shown with longer melodic ideas. You will find two- and four-measure licks. Once again, when you find one you like, memorize it, transpose it and then start using it (or pieces of it, anyway).
At the end there is a short Appendix. In this section, you'll find ideas to help you get more mileage out of the licks you have learned. There is also a list of scales from which most of the licks in this book were mined. Eventually, you should know these scales in a few different fingerings.
The idea is to develop a strong musical vocabulary. Think of a scale as an "alphabet." Licks are some of the "words" you can create using that alphabet. Learning licks can help you to understand the scales you are studying by showing you some of the musical sentence possibilities.
I hope the examples in this book will open a few melodic doors for you!
NOTE:
All of the eighth notes in this book are swing Bths (played unevenly, long-short). However, it's always a good idea to try playing musical ideas straight, too. Experiment. On the CD that is available for this book, they are played as swing 8ths.
