Summary
Details

"Do you want your scale practice to make a real tangible difference in your playing?

New Bass Clef Print Edition with foreword by Lincoln Goines.

The ear is key, and Bach's melodies teach us how to voice lead through chords better than anything else, so what could be more applicable to us as jazz improvisers?

The 70 pages of exercises here will teach you to:

- Learn to pre-hear intervals, which will help you learn to play what you are hearing faster than any other approach.

- Improve your pitch. Practice these with any drone found on Youtube.

- Improve your technique.

- Increase your vocabulary of melodic shapes, usable in so many situations!

- Apply interval patterns to jazz harmonic progressions via 4 jazz etudes on standard progressions.

All of the Shapes in this book come directly from the music of J.S. Bach. There has never been a book like this before, and this is just the beginning. Bach Shapes II will be out in 2021 and when you subscribe to Jon De Lucia's mailing list you will get access to all kinds of extra materials related to the book:

- Video Tutorials

- Recordings of the examples in the book

- Links to articles about the book

- Free downloads of Bach duets

- more to come!

At the prompting of the Berklee College of Music Bass Department and other institutions, Jon De Lucia has rewritten the successful book of saxophone studies for bass instruments. In addition, there is bonus material presented from the upcoming Bach Shapes Two, which will be released in volumes starting Summer 2021.

""Who doesn't love some Bach?! Jon has done a great job in researching the Bach vocabulary and finding phrases that fit in the jazz idiom. Great melodic snippets that can be applied to common standards and in any contemporary music style. And also great reading material, from the intermediate to the advanced player, with enough variations to keep focused on the page.""

-Sandro Scoccia, Assistant Chair of the Berklee Bass Department.

""This is a great book for reading and diatonic fingerboard dexterity.""

- Lincoln Goines, Faculty at Berklee College of Music, played with Dizzy Gillespie, Michael Brecker, Sonny Rollins."
