This Pdf Digital booklet (Concert, Bb and Bass Clef versions) contains exercises specifically designed to help you assimilate these essential 'exotic' notes in the most concise and understandable way.

SOUL SCALE EXERCISES

I am a relative newbie .So far have downloaded and printed the first 8 exercises. I am unable to play with any speed as yet and am concentrating after having checked all that I downloaded to concentrate on EX. 1-4 Blues Arpeggios. My aim is to be able to sight read and play without mistake then move to the next exercise Soul Pentatonic.The exercises are exactly what I was looking for -something to make the standard scales etc much more interesting.and to get that jazz based feel into my playing.

New Challenge

Nick, I just finished playing through the exercises. Although I'm rather slow, these bluesy scales are fun to play alone and then with the recordings. I'm definitely enjoying the exercises and feel they will help to make me a better musician. I will buy more from you as the need arises. First things first. "Slow and steady wins the race." Guess I'm a tortoise.

Soul scale

Hi Nick, I admire your work and invention. Your creative and emotional approach to improvisation inspires me. I found 8 errors in the music material - at least that's how it seems to me.

Soul Scale Exercises for improvisation - All Instruments

Hi Nick, this was very nice to play for me….I love working w/ the full range and in 12 keys. I love to run some of these thru Rhythm changes bridge also in 12 keys…put the ideas into immediate use. I’ve always called this Soul Scale the Gospel Scale…every Black Baptist Church in the USA sings on this sound.

Further expectations…

I have not worked with the material at this point, but i trust in Nick's work and I’m sure I will discover something interesting for me. For the moment I still work with the „Blues Arpeggio“ exercises which are very helpful to develop my more authentic "blues -sound".
