19 Nov 2018 | PDF + MP3 | 221 MB

The mysteries of improvisation revealed! Step-by-step gradual learning method that will have you improvising immediately and then build your skill slowly and steadily. The authors use a two-part approach: one a blues-based, pentatonic-scale system, the second a root notes and chord-tones approach, much as jazz students do but here designed for bluegrass. PLUS a “founding fathers” section with Doc Watson, Clarence White, Norman Blake, Tony Rice and Dan Crary. Wow!
