The Jazz Blues: Comping, Chords and Concepts with Rufus Philpot
Trailer
Summary
In this course Rufus Philpot takes a standard 12 bar blues progression and applies a number of different jazz techniques and concepts, but you don’t need to be a jazz musician to get something out of it.
Learning about jazz might not be at the top of your to-do-list, especially if the only time you hear it is when you go to Starbucks! BUT if you want to get really good at your instrument then learning about jazz and walking basslines will constantly feed you with new ideas. And since the blues is a fundamental form in just about every genre of modern music, the jazz blues is a natural first step.
In this course you’re going to learn:
- The basic form of the 12 bar blues in jazz.
- Rufus’s method for building walking basslines.
- What to play over a turnaround.
- How to memorise chord changes using Roman numerals.
- What scales work over a VI chord.
- And much more!
With this course, we’re also giving you more tools than ever to help up your bass game. There’s a fully re-charged workbook with specific examples and assignments to help you squeeze the most juice out of this material. Not to mention a bunch of play-along tracks recorded with a killer rhythm section for you to practice along with (at both slow and faster tempos). There's also a chord-scale index that shows exactly which scale you can use over each chord.
