Jazz Violin Workouts: Pentatonic Licks & Tricks

By Harry Hunt Jr

Does improvisation intimidate you?

Are you a classical violinist that wants to try jazz or gypsy jazz?

Jazz Violin Workouts: Pentatonic Licks & Tricks has practical pentatonic patterns that can be used for your next creative solo!

The pentatonic is a five-note scale that can be found in almost any style of music. The idea of pentatonic scales is simple, but in terms of improvisation, they can get as complicated as you need them to be.

Pentatonics can be found in the solos of jazz legends such as St?phane Grappelli, Jean-Luc Ponty, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis.

Violinists can use pentatonic scale ideas for improvising in modern genres. Pentatonic scales are not a complete method for improvisation, but a tool to be used along with other improvisational concepts.

This is an exercise book that is useful for intermediate-level violinists who are comfortable reading in various keys and are not afraid of accidentals. Each pentatonic is presented in all 12 keys.

Jazz violin does not have to be hard, it justs needs to be taken one step at a time. Studying pentatonics on the violin can take you one step closer to your improvisation goals!

Are you ready to take your jazz improvisations to the next level?
