Do you feel like you're learning non-stop and getting nowhere, trying to put all the vast theory and exercises together to make it work and sound great, but your jazz lines are still not coming together and you're constantly overthinking when you really just want to play? The Master Arpeggio System for Jazz Improvisation (MAS4JI) teach you just 10 master arpeggios and how to use them in 10 simple steps to help you generate endless jazz lines for massive gains with minimal effort. Learn how to improvise using triads and arpeggios, target tones and voice leading, quartal arpeggios, pentatonic scales, superimposition, chromaticism, side-slipping, tri-tone substitution, and more without all the endless exercises and complex music theory using an innovative method that's easy to learn and apply. Play with your intuition without the high costs of tuition; MAS4JI is designed to fast-track guitarists to playing and improvising sophisticated jazz lines as fast as possible using simplicity to generate complexity. So much time and effort can be invested in the intensive learning process with relatively little results. MAS4JI is the shortcut through the forest that you can take without wandering down the wrong path and getting lost. MAS4JI is versatile and can be easily applied to blues, rock, metal, progressive, fusion, and jam band playing styles to bring new dimensions of expression to your solos! 
Remember, the music came first and all the analysis and theory came later to describe what's happening. The Master Arpeggio System for Jazz Improvisation distills the intricate language of jazz lines into one you can speak comfortably so you can play now, think later.A New Method 
MAS4JI uses a unique, innovative method for teaching guitarists the fundamental concepts behind the interplay of consonance and dissonance without getting technical so you can effectively use tension and resolution to create cool, melodic lines and phrases without getting deep in theory and avoiding endless, boring exercises. 
Prepare to visualize your fretboard in a new way and let your fingers do the walking while the music does the talking!

It's quite amazing." - Roger (USA)\n"I have never seen this explained this way. . . . I like how you broke up the pattern into just chord tones and their extensions! . . . Also- Never knew the connection with the altered scale as a pairing either... Some of these sound files you recorded remind me of early Frank Gambale & Larry Coryell vibe/ tones." - John Taylor (Canada)\n"I'd also like to take the opportunity to congratulate your excellent method. It greatly helped me to develop my jazz improvisation further (I'm saying this after having played and studied the guitar for over two decades now...). So thanks a lot for sharing your approach!" — Werner Heiß (Austria)\nFrom the Back Cover\nImprovisation is the art of composing in the moment with freedom of expression.

Improvisation is the art of composing in the moment with freedom of expression.The second book in the "Master Arpeggio System for Jazz Improvisation Series" continues where the first book left off. We continue to work smarter, not harder with this efficient method-a navigation system-for learning to improvise in a jazz context that bypasses boring, tedious exercises and endless music theory so we can play now and think later. Minor & More teaches you to: Use minor and harmonic minor sounds to improvise over minor ii-V-i changes. Use triads and arpeggios, shell voice arpeggios, quartal arpeggios, triad and arpeggio inversions, scales, pentatonic scales and chromaticism to create interesting, sophisticate modern lines. Use voice-leading and target tones automatically without tons of memorization exercises. Use tension and resolution skillfully to create inside and outside sounds in your playing. Use diminished sounds for more interesting lines. Play over common jazz turnarounds so you'll be prepared to tackle the chord progressions found in traditional tonal jazz standards where you're moving through different key centers. Apply everything from the first two books in a solo over 24 bars of a 12 bar jazz blues. The ideas presented in The Master Arpeggio System for Jazz Improvisation are an excellent introduction to jazz improvisation for guitarists who want to explore the possibilities of this genre and also for guitarists who want to add exciting new sounds to their existing style, whether blues, rock, metal, progressive, funk, pop or jam band.
