I'm proud to announce that “Slick Licks That Stick!”, my new 177 page, interactive, fully printable pdf eBook compilation of technique building, non-cliche musical exercises, patterns and licks, which are most useful, and even essential to anyone who is serious about their development as an improvising musician.. is now available.
The musical examples contained in this eBook were developed not only for their functionality in building technical chops and ear training, but also because they simply sound good; which is to say that practicing them can be fun, challenging and inspiring, all at once.
Each of the examples is laid out in all 12 keys. This is important, as I have found that there is a tendency to play things in one key that one might not even have considered in another.
“Slick Licks That Stick!” is formatted for optimum viewing on your mobile device. Set it on a music stand and the need for scrolling is kept to a minimum. So, give these “slick licks” half a chance and before you can say "slick lick", they will stick, not only to your fingers, but to your mind as well.

Read what people who have bought "Slick Licks That Stick" are saying so far:
"I have play tested several of the chapters and find that these are not your typical, everyday plug and play "licks". Rather, they are exercises which come from a musical place rather than from a purely theoretical one. The fact that they "sound" good can inspire one to practice, as well as to expand vocabulary and fire the imagination. Several of my students who have the book have mentioned this as well."

"I recently purchased Bobby Stern's "Slick Licks That Stick", after discovering it on his jazz blog. Since digging in, I can’t put it down. It is now part of my daily practice. All this for two cups of coffee at Starbucks - $9.99! Think about it!"

"Well, Bobby, you have out done yourself again. I have been threatening to write out those Pentatonic b6 scales for over a year, and when I open "Slick Licks....." there they were, in all 12 keys.
All the stuff I have been struggling with for the last couple of years, you have already written out for me. Thanks so much."

"Nice piece of work. With the current discount, money well spent. I like the landscape orientation to fill out the screen and make the .pdf more readable at music stand distances. All examples are tailored to fit the horizontal page and all I have to do in Goodreader is tap the right or left side once to move ahead or back a page. Seriously, great exercises, logically presented. Thanks for the product Bobby. It makes the iPad an excellent training aid!"
