NOTE: The materials below are merely theoretical tools to aid in your development.  The only way to truly learn the language and develop your musicality is by listening to and transcribing the masters.  ALL of my musical mentors over the years have told me that and it has held true to this very day.  Best of luck to you in your musical journey!
