Jazz Guitar Study Series GUITAR COMPING with Bass Lines in Treble Clef Play-A-Long Book and CD Set Damey Aebersold Gazz, Duc.BARRY GALBRAITH Jazz Guitar Study Series "Volume #3 - GUITAR COMPING" Blues in Minor Blu Nowhere. Dream. Blues in 12 key: Rhythm #1 S-Miles... TARARNSSARSDR GOODE Rhythm Like Someone. Transcribed bass lines from recording. iB The Guitar part notations correspond as closely as possible to the recording. Stereo separation on the recording (Bass on Left channel, Guitar on Right channel) enables the guitarist to turn off the Right channel and comp with the bass, either reading from the book or improvising his own comping. Playing both channels furnishes a background for single line improvisation. Forthis, the player will find it helpful to read the symbols above the bass lines given in the back of the book (pages 37-48). The tune sequence corresponds to that in Book Three with the exception of the last three cuts (Wind #2, Rhythm #2, and Like Someone) which are for guitar alone. Left Channel: Right Channel: Milt Hinton, Barry Galbraith, Bass Guitar Pamey rtekersald Gazz, luc.INTRODUCTION Most of the comps (accompaniments) in this book are designed to accom- pany an improvised solo with bass and without piano. In actual play, comps are created as a response to a soloist and putting them on paper is an clusive and somewhatarbitrary task without a given melody line to follow. However, there are certain principles common to all comping: Rhythm: Rhythm takes precedence over harmony in comping. If a comp doesn't swing, it can hinder rather than enhance. Simple, sparse accents are often all you need, especially at bright tempos, where the less you play, the better! Harmony: The harmonic comp line sounds best when it has a direction. Resolve voices of diatonic chords to the closest voices of the following chord. Upper voices of chords should form a simple counter line rather than jumping aimlessly about. However, at times inversions work well. Using a common upper tone while changing chords is effective (see first two bars of "Wind". Chord symbols in this book relate to function. Example: D7#5#9 in bar 7 of "Wind" could be written as Ab13 but since the bass note is D, the chord functions as an altered D7. ‘The comp material begins simply with "Shiny" and "Wind" and becomes more elaborate throughout the book, exploring the many musical possibilities in comp playing. Bass parts are to be played on another guitar or taped for playback. Chord symbols are given for regular bass. Without any other accompaniment, be sure to use a metronome. Some of the studies in this book have chord progressions similar to the following standards: "Shiny Stockings," "Gone With The Wind,” "Out of Nowhere,” "You Stepped Out of a Dream,” "I Got Rhythm,” "Nardis,” “Tangerine,” “Body and Soul," and “Like Someone In Love.”SHINY 4 100-120 Gm7 cis Bust 13 Fag D OQ p=, bo Des Am?
