Gain mastery over the fingerboard and improve your ability to improvise freely. Using a unique series of exercises John helps you learn to play with "limitations" that force you to think differently about your music. You'll slow down and really listen, which will help your development as an improviser. Then, using his original compositions and the standard "Stella By Starlight," he demonstrates a wide range possibilities for impovising including melodic and motivic development, polychording, dynamics, rhythmic changes, and other essential skills. Notation included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 90 min.
