AustraliaI 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.
GermanyI really love all of your content. Never heard explanations as good as yours and the ideas for improvisations are unique, you do not find them elsewhere. Thanks for that. Friedemann
United StatesA great blues arpeggio study.
United StatesNick, 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.
ItalyVery good, I enjoyed playing it
GermanyI just startet to lesrn the excersizes. I am an accordion player and i first must work out the fingering. it would be good if there was a suggestion for fingering for keyboard instruments. otherwise they are helpful exercises.
SlovakiaHi 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.
United StatesHi 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.
ItalySo far so good !!! Great stuff to study ..
United StatesI like the material. It’s very good and easy to get under the fingers.
United StatesGreat experiece. This stuff help me develop my musical language.
SwitzerlandI am following jazzduets in youtub and I am very grateful
FranceUne bonne maniere de travailler en faisant autre choses que monter est descendre la gamme blues (soul) mecaniquement.
CanadaOk I practice them for violkn
GermanyI 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".
South KoreaIt is good for daily practice . .
