Wisdom of the Hand: A Guide to the Jazz Pentatonic Scales

Wisdom of the Hand gives pianists a new and revolutionary way to play pentatonic and blues scales via two-octave fingerings. Other five-note scales are also discussed in-depth, in addition to the more common pentatonic ones. . . . . .The book introduces the concept of positional playing as an alternative to the traditional, European thumb-under moves that won't negotiate the widely-spaced pentatonics. . . . . .The book helps the pianist to wean him or herself away from playing scale patterns by thinking in terms of the infinite variety of little 3 and 4-note chord shapes to be found in the pentatonic scales. . . . . .The book includes 200 practice exercises and 50 two-handed jazz etudes, ranging from easy to intermediate, to help integrate the ideas into your muscle memory. A one-of-a-kind book, useful for any pianist dedicated to the art of improvising.
