ATTENTION GUITARISTS!!

Improvisation is the art of composing in the moment with freedom of expression. Do you want to get on the fast track to improvising with modern jazz style?

The second book in the Master Arpeggio System series continues where the first one left off, where we work smarter, not harder with this efficient method-a fretboard navigation system-for learning to improvise in a jazz context that bypasses boring, tedious exercises and endless music theory so we can play now and think later. Make fundamental changes in your playing today!

Improvise NOW:

• Use minor and harmonic minor sounds to improvise over minor ii-V-i changes like a PRO.
• Use arpeggios (triads, shell voicings, quartal and inversions), scales, pentatonic scales and chromaticism to create sophisticated modern lines.
• Use voice-leading and target tones intuitively without tons of rote memorization exercises.
• Use tension and resolution skillfully to create melodic inside and outside sounds in your playing.
• Use diminished sounds for more interesting lines.
• Play over common jazz turnarounds and learn to develop soloing strategies to expertly tackle the chord progressions found in traditional jazz standards where you're constantly moving through different key centers.
