I just finished a brand new Neffmusic book that I am very excited about.\u00a0 The description is below:<\/p>\n

An inside approach to outside playing using pentatonics, chromaticism, 3-tonic systems and intervallic patterns to produce modern lines in the style of Michael Brecker and Bob Berg.\u00a0 Devastating Minor Lines contains 100 16th note lines written out in all 12 keys that can be used over minor tonalities.\u00a0 These lines give the student functional ideas that weave in and out of the tonality to produce a modern and \u201coutside\u201d sound.<\/p>\n
