Synthetic and Exotic Scale Jazz Improvisation Etudes for Treble Clef Instruments

By Scott McGill

A unique collection of etudes that demonstrate the use of melodic lines derived from synthetic and exotic scales over jazz standards type chord progressions. A variety of scales such as the Enigmatic, Phrygian#11, Hungarian Major, and Dorian b9 are illustrated as well as Altered Pentatonic and Multi-Octave scales. For the creative improviser and composer looking to expand his or her musical vocabulary. Not a theoretical treatise but a challenging practical text demonstrating lines developed from advanced scales and their use in relation to jazz harmonic progressions. Excellent for Guitarists, Pianists, Violinists, and Horn Players.
