Audio Files
As you learn to read, you will often wonder if you’re playing the exercises correctly, particularly if you don’t have a teacher with you. Fortunately, all of the exercises in this book are available as downloadable audio files, so that you can be sure you’re playing the lines in the right way!
There are over 100 exercises in this book, and you can download the audio files free of charge from the publisher’s website – there are instructions in the book for this. The final ten exercises were recorded with a full band and are available in two formats: WITH bass (so you can hear EXACTLY how it should sound), and WITHOUT bass, so you have a backing track to play along with.
