    Hello,I like the idea of arpeggios,and common chord proggresions that this book uses,but I think it would be much better if the book included standard notation or tab for the lazy person like me.I have learned awesome concepts of the bebop greats through various books and cds and it is always easier to learn this complex music if I don't have to tab it out.

    If any other newbie is as confused as I was about what book is actually being referred to, it is this one:

    http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-J.../dp/0634009702

    I had to read through 14 messages in the introductory thread before running across a link to it, although by then I'd finally figured out that I should just google the thread title, which I did, and got hit at amazon.com.
    Best,

    Saw this blog post today that features Kurt Rosenwinkel talking about practicing pentatonics using a method similar to "connecting game." Though some of you would be interested. Made me think you could try some other ideas, such as melodic cells (1-2-3-5, 1-3-4-5, etc).

    Thanks for starting this Fep! I think that this is a GREAT book for converting blues/rockers. Mind you, it's not chock full of notated jazz patterns, but those can be obtained from countless other sources.

    Very practical, just great.
