Introduction
Discover the secrets the pros have been using for years to learn new music quickly and easily! This secret is the fake book. Fake books are basically a condensed version of full music scores that consist only of one note melody lines with chord symbols. By improvising the harmony based on the chord symbols and combining that with the right hand melody line, you can create some pretty great sounding music in a very short amount of time.
Contents
There are 23 chapters that teach you everything you need to learn about playing and improvising from a fake book. The book assumes the ability to read basic music notation. Below are just some of the topics that are covered.
- Triads
- Extended chords
- Accompaniment patterns
- Voice leading
- Ways to embellish both the melody and harmony
There is also a bonus section of over 100 songs.
This book does a wonderful job of logically explaining key concepts. The illustrations provided are clear and easy to understand. It is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to play and improvise music from fake books.
