A beginner improv method based on easy-to-play pieces that each introduce, one at a time, the building blocks of jazz, rock, and pop music. Each tune comes with sample solos, improvised and written out by experienced musicians. Step-by-step your skills will develop, from understanding the theory, to copying and elaborating, to playing and improvising freely. The included play-along CD provides you with both melody and play-along tracks, as well as sample solos for each piece.
