The Soul Scale is unique as it contains the Major and Minor 3rd - the Ying Yang if you like of Jazz and Blues. Assimilating and controlling these 2 sounds is of fundamental importance to the improvisor.
I wrote these exercises as I believe there is no other such didatic material available to the student that focuses on these vitally essential 2 notes.
This Pdf Digital booklet instant download for all Treble Instruments contains the 11 exercises/lines specially crafted from the video below in all 12 keys which are specifically designed to help you assimilate of the essential 'exotic' notes that Pro Jazz and Blues players use to express themselves in the most concise understandable way.
This PDF will train your ears + fingers to incorporate this vital Jazz vocabulary
that is not found in traditional scales.
These exercises are meant for newcomers to Jazz improvisation (but not music) who are hungry to learn and play the more 'exotic' notes that Jazz and Blues players use to express themselves that are not included in the Academic scales they perhaps already know, and who are perhaps unsure of how to approach learning and assimilating these colourful (may be unfamiliar) sounds, especially if they are new to the Jazz Genre.
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 . .

Italymolto belli gli esercizi
FranceTrès bien ! Très pratique merci pour votre travail
Germanythe book was there in no time
GermanyI can definitely use the exercises, but would like to have more "Lines" entries for each scale.
BrazilI think the exercises should have or a return sign or an ending note. Some of them finish on the second half of the 4th beat and it doesn’t make much musical sense of ending. If the idea is to repeat everything so the return sign is OK. But if not, an ending note on the first beat would be nice. But still, I will keep buying your material. I see that you didn’t correct the Blues Arpeggio material yet.
United StatesThere is a lot of material to work on; I'm just getting started. I can see these exercises will improve my technique and ear for melodic lines.
GreeceAs a bass player i was strangling to find good material to practice and learn how to improvise.. I have over a hundred of bass books and methods and none of them gives you this knowledge. Thank you Nick for your excellent job!!
United StatesAs a self semi-taught chromatic harmonica player for the last 55 years who is finally working on shoring up his skills, I really look forward to working with this material that is completely relevant to my goals.
