Start applying LJI directly to specific tunes with this book!

This is our recommended book for your first application of LJI targeting & the development of a specific composition's melodic rhythms.

The 10 LJI chromatic targeting groups are systematically & extensively applied to the melody & its rhythms, its guide-tone lines, and its root progression in various interesting combinations.

Included are many fun etudes which combine the studies into musical solutions to be used as improvisational paradigms. Download the free Finale sound files & practice along.

Everyone needs to know Monk's Blue Monk, a mainstay of the jazz repertoire. This book is a great application of both LJI targeting & development of the reduced rhythms of the song's motives.
