Soloing techniques based on the harmonic structure of a given theme: and D.) Self-testing materials with answers provided at the close of the book.Includes access to online audio for L'Espirit Manouche that provides 98 play-along MIDI files that exactly parallel the order of the exercises, examples and pieces in the book as well as audio tracks of excerpts from eighteen Romane favorites from the Gypsy jazz repertoire. The MIDI tracks, which can be accessed via most audio players on PC or Macintosh computers, allow the student to play along with both short phrases and extensive rhythm tracks- at any desired tempo.L'Espirit Manouche not only makes Gypsy jazz accessible: it offers an opportunity to master the Manouche style. While many exercises and tunes appear in both standard notation and tab, not to mention chord or fretboard diagrams, standard notation is predominant.
