Rhythm changes are one of the foundational chord progressions of jazz. Every jazz musician must learn to navigate comfortably through rhythm changes in every key. In this comprehensive play-along book (formerly in three separate volumes), renowned jazz guitarist Frank Vignola presents 34 original etudes in standard notation and tablature. Readers can practice these melodies and solos along with Vignola's recorded accompaniment. Daily practice will enable the guitarist to hear and improvise over rhythm changes in any key/position. The performance-tempo recordings of the solos include numerous choruses of isolated rhythm section accompaniment. This allows the reader to practice just the written solos (as well as their own). Sections of the recordings also include solos by Vignola, allowing the reader to practice accompaniment. Access to accompanying online audio is included. |
