The altered scale is often regarded as one of the most complex, intimidating sounds in modern jazz vocabulary, seemingly creating a barrier to entry for many aspiring musicians. Fear no more: Bass Player's Guide to Altered Chords and Scales is your key to open that door. Inside you'll learn how to play the altered scale, how to create your own vocabulary through the building blocks of melodic minor, how to get started with over 60 prewritten licks--and, most importantly, you'll learn when and where to play your new altered ideas through any sequence of chord changes, so you can immediately apply this information to you playing. Bass Player's Guide to Altered leaves no stone unturned, providing you with all of the tools, knowledge, and confidence to become a master of the altered sound.
Along with a complete video master-class that provides a deeper understanding of the book's content, we're including highly polished play-alongs that will allow you to put all of these concepts into action immediately. The book also comes complete with TAB for each exercise in every key.
