This volume is a step-by-step approach to improvisation in jazz, rock and pop music. Based on an easy piece which can be practised together with a band on the play-along CD, each chapter comes with brief explanations as to which notes sound best when improvising and why. Solos by experienced musicians serve as examples for the player's own attempts at improvisation.
