“I had the opportunity of learning to improvise by playing and jamming with musicians during practice sessions 3 or 4 evenings a week. I would spend hours practicing with the band, improving both my improvisational skills as well as my rhythmic skills.”
It is important to play and learn from other musicians but if one is unable to do so then incorporating this product into your practicing routine is the next best thing. By playing along with the rhythm tracks of the CD, your improvisational skills will definitely improve.
There are 20 different “grooves” consisting of 1 Calypso groove, 8 Mambo grooves, 6 Salsa grooves and 5 Songo grooves. Each track is approximately 2 and a half minutes long, giving the musician enough time to practice improvising over each groove.
The book contains over 200 riffs or improvisational ideas, also recorded on the CD after each rhythm track, so that the musician can experiment using many different permutations and should be used as a starting off point for one’s own improvisations.
