Six month home study course with 43 page workbook in tab and notation converted to PDF files with six "Work along" audio CDs converted to MP3 files, all delivered on CD-Rom.
A variety of great sounding chord melody arrangements ranging from a lower intermediate level to advanced. Each measure carefully rehearsed to help you play contrasting melody with moving bass lines and grab new chord voicings. Each tune uses a different method of the bass line treatment, either walking, pedal or alternating. Some pieces are difficult to learn but well worth the effort as “It’s all you” and you don’t need a band to perform them.
LESSON 1 "AIN'T MISBEHAVIN" AND "MISTY" Learn a great Fats Waller bluesy style standard with a great walking bass line.
LESSON 2 "STUDY IN D" 'Fernando Sor's beautiful romantic, classical piece, great for beginners. A harmonic analysis included. Good on nylon or electric guitar.
LESSON 3 JERRY REED Two Jerry Reed solo classics. Down home melodies with walking bass lines make them fun and amazing. No wonder Chet Atkins recorded them.
LESSON 4 "WILLOW WEEP FOR ME" This great old standard has bridged generations. Walking bass line and solo section using a harmonized blues scale.
LESSON 5 "LADY MADONNA" AND ELEANOR RIGBY" Two Beatle classics arranged in intermediate to difficult level. The bass line under the melodies develops thumb independence. Amaze listeners with these duo guitar sounding arrangements.
LESSON 6 "THE ENTERTAINER" The Scott Joplin classic from the "Sting" is a must for a solo guitarist. Each phrase carefully rehearsed to help learn this difficult piece. Once mastered, impressing listeners with this piece will be reward for your hard work.
