"Improvvisazione e Armonia nella chitarra".Audio- esempi.Gianni Zei, edizioni Berben 1998.
Questo audio video si riferisce ad alcuni esempi-esercizi presenti nel libro omonimo da me pubblicato nel 1998 per la casa editrice Berben e presenti nel Cd Allegato. Dato che non e' piu disponibile in commercio, ho allestito questo audio video per tutti coloro che desiderano ascoltare gli esempi scritti sul testo. Si tratta di fraseggi e brevi esempi di armonizzazioni per i vari argomenti trattati composti e suonati dall'autore. Per ulteriori informazioni potete consultare il mio sito www.giannizei.com.

Basic Jazz Guitar:"Modes and Chords". ( Alternative approach)
Ionian, Dorian, Locrian, Mixolidian. (?)...... ".......A few years ago, a gentleman invented these names....... but it always remains a major scale" (Joe Diorio .Ravenna -Italy 1990). In this video I improvise with "harmonized modal scales". It is always a Cmajor scale on the highest voice of CMaj7 (ionian), D min7 (dorian) Bm7 / b5 (Locrian), G7 (Mixolidan chromatic) Chords. This system allows you to improvise the accompaniment (based on the chords simbols of the song) and perform "Chord melody". It is important to learn in every key. A long job !!!! But in the end you will be able to improvise in "Block Chords style" on any jazz or bossa nova song. Good job. Gianni Zei.
"Basic jazz walking Bass on guitar"
In this video I will play two simple patterns, for a good walking bass accompaniment in 4/4 swing time.The first example is based on the use of the tonic and chromatic notes around it (chromatic approach). The pattern is: (beat 1) tonic / chord, (beat 2) chromatic, (beat 3) tonic, (beat 4) chromatic note of the next chord. The second pattern is based on the use of the major or minor triad/chord. (beat1) Tonic / chord (beat2) third major or minor, (beat3) fifth, (beat 4) chromatic note of the next chord. The third pattern is used when we have 2 chords in a 4/4 measure. The pattern is: (beat 1) Tonic / chord of the first chord (Beat 2) chromatic note of the next chord (Beat3) tonic / (new) chord (beat 4) chromatic note of the next chord. The examples are performed on Tournaround, Bb blues , and Rhythm Change structure. This is a simple, but very good system to improvise any 4/4 jazz swing with soloists and singers, in the absence of the bass player. Before is important establish each chord in root position (tonic in the bass) . I don't speak in the video. I enjoyed simulating a student who is learning. Good job. Gianni Zei.
