Hello Group,
Just wanted to put in a plug for the Aebersold play along series. I have
found the series to be extremely helpful, practical, fun, and a great way to
practice and grow without bugging my piano player friend to play 2-5 and
rhythm changes endlessly!
There is one by David Baker on how to learn and memorize songs. It is
extremely helpful as it also teaches basic construction and song writing in
that it deconstructs songs and shows the architecture behind them. This is
very helpful for us that picked up music as music lovers and may not have
music degrees.
I have been playing for a long time and I am not too bad, yet I even found
the first book helpful. Going back to basics and doing them very well cannot
hurt. It is surprising how many holes there are in my knowledge.
Kudos to the series
David Rudick
