With my practice book for Coltrane changes, “The Giant Steps Scratch Pad,” now published in its four fundamental editions–C, Bb, Eb, and bass clef–I’m now making it available as a PDF download as well as in print.

The advantages of the download for you are twofold:

* You’ll save money. The difference is $9.50 for the download versus $10.95 plus shipping for the print edition. Those of you who can afford the print edition will love it! The cover looks fantastic and Lulu.com does a professional job of printing. But if it’s not in your budget, then the download is a cost-effective alternative that gives you all of the book’s vital content to help you master Coltrane changes.

* You’ll save time. If you want to start practicing the material today rather than wait for the print edition to arrive in the mail, then the PDF download is the way to go.

To give you a quick summary, “The Giant Steps Scratch Pad” is a collection of 155 licks and patterns for all jazz instrumentalists on the chord changes to the John Coltrane tune “Giant Steps.” Taking you beyond theory to actual application, the book is intended to be played, not just read. Choose the edition that meets your needs–C, Bb, or Eb, and print or PDF download–and order your copy today.
