Approach Note Velocity Volume 2: Minor


This is a continuation of my Major Approach Note book. Volume 2 is focused on all 12 minor keys. This is an incredible resource for anyone wanting to master approach note patterns in all minor keys. The word "Velocity" is in the title because after I practiced these for a couple months, I found myself playing faster than ever over minor grooves. For more background on this book read the description under "Approach Note Velocity Vol. 1" below. Enjoy!

Here is an audio sample of some of the  patterns in the book.

This book is a 90 page pdf file in treble clef and contains 56 approach note patterns in all 12  minor keys using Finale. You can print this file and get to work immediately.

If you're interested in a printed copy of the book, I have combined both Volume 1 & 2 into one book. Click here to see it  and some sample pages!

The approach note ideas that Steve has compiled are well worth it. I have practiced a couple of standard bop approach ideas in the past, but this collection has unlimited impilcations, and has changed the way I practice and play already.
Its what my playing needed , without me knowing...

 

Great books!

I'm an experienced player in the pop/soul/funk areas of music and, previously, classical. Over the decades I've been playing, I've always felt that I could do what I needed in those styles of music. However, recently I began to feel limited by my use of the same old licks. When I discovered Steve Neff's website, and heard the audio examples based on the exercises in his books, I realized they were what I needed. I purchased all of them and have been working on them since. It's very hard work - mind crunching sometimes - because I'm memorizing each exercise in every key, and using different rhythms as Steve suggests, but I can see the development taking place and the old barriers starting to break down already. Steve has obviously put so much of his experience and time into these books and I think it's great that he's made it all available for others to benefit from.

"I have been using Steve Neff's Books for the past 12 months as part of my daily practice and now that he's made lessons available online it seemed like an obvious step forward in developing myself both as a Saxophonist and a Musician to try them. The lessons are taught in a friendly, relaxed manner and everyone can learn something from them from beginner to pro. Whether you want to develop spontaneity in improvising or building up your Musical vocabulary. Steve's decades of knowledge will help you achieve your goals much easier."

Best Wishes.
