Jazz Licks: Bass Clef Version

I play this on the piano, along with the treble clef version, to focus on each hand while also exploring jazz melodies. The rhythmic complexity of something like the Charlie Parker omnibook can be overwhelming, but this is perfect. Thank you so much for this work Bopland! A book version of the walking basslines on your website someday would be awesome.

Very good book, and very reasonably priced. There are almost three hundred pages of material here- licks based on progressions in popular jazz standards like, "All the Things You Are", "Autumn Leaves", "Days Of Wine And Roses" (and more); as well as ii V7 I. While written in bass clef, the licks are not "instrument specific"- meaning they are not made with a double bass, bass guitar or trombone in mind. They are good, musical sounding ideas that will be a welcome addition to many people's practice repertoire.The quality of the paper and the printing is good, but I would have preferred a spiral binding to the regular "book style" binding it has- the book doesn't like to lay flat on a music stand. Aside from that, it's a great value- highly recommend!

Bass guitar players should read and learn every lick in this book. You knowledge of the fretboard will greatly improve and also you ears. You will also hear these licks slowly showing up in your playing.Learn each lick thoroughly and then it's only after it is mastered that you should play it with a backing track.

This book has been life changing for me. A must have for serious players that are looking into expanding their jazz vocabulary, as well as a lot of sight reading material. By far one of the best books I've ever purchased. Whether you're a beginner, or a highly advanced player, this is extremely useful.

This book contains an amazing number of examples of melodic jazz licks, based on common changes (e.g. 2-5-1) and common jazz standards. If you're working on improvising and want a treasure chest of examples to borrow or just learn from, buy this book. This book will keep me busy for a very long time.And don't be put off by the price. It's worth several times the current asking price. Check out the examples and consider that this goes on for almost 300 pages.

good

Fantastic and Comprehensive Book for Jazz Licks! It is a perfect practice tool to provide you with a Library of possibilities to expand your knowledge of patterns, techniques, and other important tools to make great music.

A lot of material.

I have at least a hundred hard-copy musician tutor books and at least the same again in electronic versions, stuff I've never, and I fear I'll NEVER make use of. However, this book is different. Somehow its simplicity and applicability make it the best music tutor I've ever tried. Thank you, Bopland, and thank you, Amazon.

Bought as gift. Arrived promptly & greatly appreciated.

Good but when it says there are jazz standards with examples of solos, only a few chords are selected from the standard. It doesn't contain all the chords for each stanza with solo ideas

Excellent lucks and exercises. Great arpeggio workout and authentic licks.

Das Buch "Jazz Licks" habe ich mittlerweile in meine tägliche Überoutine aufgenommen. Die notierten Licks sind eine sehr gute Bereicherung für das Repertoire. In allen Tonarten werden (leider nur) Auszüge von bekannten Jazz-Standards dargeboten. Man wünscht sich natürlich, dass nicht nur ein paar Chord-Changes pro Werk ausgearbeitet würden, sonder eben mal ein komplettes Stück.
