Danny Ziemann Soloing

[Boodang]

Came across this other day, can't remember how I stumbled on it, being going through it for the last month and it's a great book. Basically soloing concepts over ii-v-i.

Starts off with an aural chapter of just listening to the guide tones of 1,3 & 5 (of the ii-v-i prgression) in every key until you can sing them. The chapters in the book you do not necessarily do in order and he recommends an order based on whether you want the learning emphasis to be aural or theoretical. Still finishing the practical exercises in the first Guide Tone chapter and it's quite intense, but that's good. Building jazz vocabulary is next but I don't want to get ahead of myself as there's plenty of extra work to go off and do that's implied in the first chapter to really cement the knowledge. 

PS this is vol2. Vol1 is harmony and all about creating interesting bass lines in the jazz context that's sympathetic to what's being played by the rest of the band. Sort of walking bass on steroids.
