Summary of This Method
Putter Smith: Jazz Bass Improvisation A Guide to Chords, Scales, Arpeggios & Other Concepts and Techniques for the Advancing Bassist is aimed at bassists who want to understand jazz improvisation "from the inside," clearly linking theory (harmony and chord structures) to playing instincts on the instrument. The approach highlights the fundamental building blocks of the jazz language-chords, scales, and arpeggios-to better target important notes, hear tensions and resolutions, and construct phrases that truly follow the changes. By working on these elements in an organized way, you gain rhythmic precision, confidence in transitions, and creativity, whether improvising a chorus, enriching a walking bass line, or choosing relevant passing notes in accompaniment. An effective resource to move from "random" ideas to structured, musical playing that is immediately applicable in your tunes and standards.
