MADE AND PREVTED I Visit us on the Web at hitp:/www.melbay.com — E-mail us at email@melbay.com About the author ‘Alan de Mause lives in New York City. where he teaches at Columbia University Teach- er's College and In his own studio, He is a free lance guitarist active in many projects and also does voice aver narration work When not writing, teaching, or playing music, Alan is involved with the Hunger Pro ject, World Runners, and the New York Road Runners Club. This is the third In a series of books by Alan for Mel Bay Publications Inc. Your relationship with your guitar Is the same as it is with the rest of your life, Every time you pick up your instrument you meet yourself, and every time you play a note the rest of your life comes with it.” Alan de Mause Introduction Licks can launch a lifetime “Listen to that lick! How is It done? Can I learn to do It? Musicians playing the right licks at the right moments In our lives have probably been the catalyst for more musical careers than any other precipitating event. All jazz artists In their formative stages study musical models, These models are the licks, phrases, sections, choruses, and the total recorded output of their favorite players. When learning, mot anly is it alright to copy other players, It Is Impossible to begin In any other way. To eventually create your own jazz licks you first need to hear, play through, and imitate a lot of existing jazz. Licks in context of phrases For our purposes a lick will be considered a short melodic fragment. Most often it is only a measure or twa in length. with even the longer ones being bullt up of two or more shorter fragments. Phrases are the next larger unit, made up of licks. Standard song form is made up of a series of four measure phrases. The harmonic structure of these phrases is used to Improvise upon Since these four measure phrases are sa important, It Is better to study a shorter lick in the context of a longer four measure phrase than by itself. Licks always end up in phrases anyway. Also. it Is nearly Impossible to create a phrase by butting and gluing together several short licks. Think of it this way: in learning to speak a foreign language. it is easier to hear how individual words are used in the con- text of phrases and sentences than it Is to learn only individual words and string them together in hopes of forming a sentence. Each lick in this book, then, will actually be a four measure phrase, usu- ally comprised of shorter licks. Sometimes these phrases, or longer licks, will be followed by addi- tional four measure units built on the continuing chord progression of the standard tune from which the first has been taken. And further... I also stress studying licks set in longer phrases for another reason. This Is to help the player in see- ing, hearing, and playing jazz lines woven through chord progressions. The beginning jazz guitarist often having a background in blues or rock, can usually handle pentatonic blues scales In simple har- monic situations by “playing In a key,” but has a hard time playing through a more complex, quickly changing set of chords, The problem with “playing in a key” without giving respect to the pattern of resolutions is that the discrete harmonte distinction between chards gets fuzzed over. So, if an improvised chorus is a stage, the four measure unit is an ideal place to start getting your act together, It's my intention that working with these licks will help you distinguish the differences between chords, anticipate the sound of one chord following another, and eventually play a line of your own through a series of chord progressions. By studying these examples you will see how a line can delineate or spell out the harmonic underpinnings even without accompaniment. When you are really into it— When you find licks that become your favorites, they become part of your language. It’s hard net to use them. And, let's face it, at moments of Indecision, they are the musical lifesavers which give a sense of security. ‘Since you will know them so well, you will be able to use them as beginning statements to be devel- ‘oped, You can avoid using them like a boring comic with a memorized list of one liners by listening to ‘that little vaice inside you that says, “If I play this lick one more time, I'll—". Let your licks help your creativity rather than hinder it. Invention is still the name of the game- 3 The Lick Layout Accompanying each lick is this information: @ Roman numerals indicating harmonic analysis (see below) ‘b Informal analysis of lick illustrating a particular aspect (sce below). ¢ Indication of suggested tempo. d Name of standard tune whose chord changes have supplied the harmany for the lick. Licks are based on the first four measures of the tune, unless indicated otherwise, as in the musical example below. © Standard chord symbols, F Position in which lick is played and/or full barres, indicated, e.g. IV. and BIV, Partial barres are indi- cated by the number of strings to be barred from a possible six, plus the position at which they occur, ie., 4/6II1. q Fingering, The symbols “+” and “~" indicate a temporary finger shift out of positian. A shift to a higher fret is noted with “+” and a shift to a lower position with ~~".

In the lick above, the E°7 chord, analyzed as #1V°. is named in relation to the position of the preceding E°M7, which Is the IV chord in the key of the lick, BP. by 3 If you need background information on the building of harmonized scales and the usefulness of the Roman numeral system of analysis, see the books listed in the background information section ‘on page six. Lick descriptions The licks in this book can be analyzed in a number of ways: For each lick | have chosen one or two non-technical, general descriptions, explained below. scalar: The lick goes up and down hill in a scale-like manner using smaller half step. whole step, and step and a haif intervals. arpeggiated: The lick consists primarily of chord tones, separately articulated, sustained arpeggiation: The lick consists primarily of chord tones played with the left hand fingers kept In place in the shape of a chord. Sequential: The four measure phrase consists of several shorter ticks, similar in shape, intervallic distance, and rhythm larger intervats: The distance between many of the notes in this lick is that of a fourth or mare. internal tine: The lick follows pivotal notes of an ascending or descending line found within and suggested by the chord progression. music In two parts: The lick is self-accompanied by a note or notes below the primary line. Tempo is indicated by a general description in English, These descriptions along with the tradl- tional Italian counterparts and metronome markings are indicated below. Very slow (Largo and Larghetto) Slow (Adagio) 66-72 Slow/medium (Andante) 76-104 Medium (Moderato) 108-116 Med /fast (Allegra) 120-162 Fast (Presto) 168-192 ‘Very fast (Prestissimo) 200 and above Getting more miteage from licks These are suggestions on how to expand on any particular lick in this book. a Play the lick using the one fingering illustrated in several keys in different areas of the finger: board. b Play the lick in one key using a varlety of fingerings in different areas of the fingerboard. © Play the lick In the several keys available in a single position, along with the different fingerings appropriate to the scales of those keys. Play the lick in even or straight time feel, and in swing feel. e Flay the lick in tempi other than the one Indicated. / Half time and double time the lick. Be aware of what this does to the frequency of chord changes. g If the lick is in 3/4 time, play it 4/4, and vice versa. Add or remove notes as you see fit. ‘h Displace the rhythmics of the lick, using the basic intervals as they are. i Alter crucial notes to tum major sounds into minor. minor into dominant, ete. Jj Play the lick backward, upside down, upside down and backward. ke Ifyou are a fingerstyle solo guitarist. accompany the lick with bass nates, chords or any other device you like. In many cases you will need to move the line up an octave, or change keys. Re- finger as necessary. I In general, allow your Imagination to roam freely. Sit down formally with pencil and paper. or jam on a lick, or free associate. or do whatever works best for you. Why these licks? One of my goals in writing these 101 licks has been variety, I've used a diversity of chord progre sions, for instance, without overemphasizing the ubiquitous I-V-1 cadence, Even so, there is much that sequence internally within the ones I have chosen. In case you would like to read through sections of this book as daily exercises, I've made a point | mixing keys and tempi. Another goal has been accessibility, so I've kept most of these examples within the first seven pos tlons of the guitar, kept the fingering position-oriented. the tempi reasonable, the music tablatur accompanied, the food and drink affordable. ‘There are some licks which must be played finger style, identified as such. for the growing ranks jazz finger style players. However, don’t let that stop you flat pick players from adapting them to yo style.

They can be stretched or compressed to fit your needs, Just as any of the previous licks can. Since Introductions played by a guitarist in a band are most often expected to be fuller, even unaccompanied, these are denser than single line solo licks. ‘The harmonies of these introductions are not as standard as the previous licks, and are not meant to match any particular tune. If you like, you can derive a chord function analysis from the standard chord symbols above the music. Since string players favor sharp keys and wind players favor flat keys. I've Included introductions and endings in all majar keys. Minor keys occur much less frequently in jazz. and are represented by one example. However, | encourage you to extrapolate more from the major key examples. 76. slow Fang Ewit Deal aists ° 78. med/fast Pen] Fin En] AS fru igeande ste B | ne Sie Sha tay = sa — = a 16 38 79, medium (fingerstyle) a in 10 seg = ae Tk == = a — q a= 80. slow, rubato (fingerstyle) bs ste 2 é se By g4 232 81. very fast - sil ag Fiat .

My examples of endings are meant to enter songs at Gifferent points, and so are not all the same length. Like the introductions, they can be condensed, packed, or otherwise altered to fit a particular situation. Also, like the intro ductions, they are fatter than the single line licks. since it is common for a guitarist to end a song in a full-blown solo style. All major keys are represented here. plus one minor. Note: On the-accompanying (optional) cassette I have played all of the Introductions and End- ings fingerstyle, but In the text orily those which cannot be played with a pick are marked fingerstyle. 89. medium 90. slow (fingerstyle) Ant D9 Aho % And D9 DADs wll AP? 7 Des c av ” av gv den 91. slow (fingerstyle) En? ene 7 M7 92. slow/medium (fingerstyle) Bw? &2. 4 93, slow/medium EF BT E a 5 int | = 3 95. slow 96. slow (fingerstyle) Bui Bh AG OMT BM, Aa DNS ees yr 28 ve ies BaP pe FP Ritara z a 97. med/fast £7 Bill 98, slow/medium Eb fn D eb OR BMS 4m 2 tv a2 99. medium Gu l3 cia emoe4 101, slow (C minor) Cm Ais Grd CHAT ff.
