Edition Notes
"Covers many techniques for exploring, understanding, and performing the songs found in real books. You will learn how to analyze the form and harmonic structure, insert an introduction, interpret the melody, improvise on the chords, construct bass lines, voice the chords, add substitutions, and much more. This book assumes no knowledge of theory beyond the ability to read music in both clefs, but it takes a theory-based approach"--Pref.
