Michael Brecker Licks Pdf Converter
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase. This book was great. The transcriptions were spot on, and I got a few new licks for my improv from it. I wasn't too familiar with Michael Brecker, and I mostly got it for Delta City Blues. But I ended up discovering a few great songs. I'd recommend this to anybody looking for some new jazz. I put up a few pages of Brecker Licks that I have worked on over the years. There on my blog page on my website. I didn't include how to use these but many of them.

Thanks a lot for the licks Steve. I've always thought that Brecker had some of the hippest licks around, but found his solos too hard to play, even with transcriptions on hand. So it's great to have this collection of shorter fragments to see and play. I've only started going through the first 20 licks or so, playing through them on piano slowly. Right off the bat, I can see that many of them look like sequences that are moved around by various steps, such as chromatically, thirds etc. It's given me a better idea of one of the characteristic ways Brecker constructs his lines.
