“Slick Licks That Stick! Vol. 2”  at 369 fully printable pages, is a logical continuation of the musical ideas presented in Vol. 1, in the form of exercises, patterns, licks and etudes, which I have found (and always keep finding) to be most useful in my own continuing growth and development as an improvising musician.

The musical examples contained in both of these PDF eBooks were chosen not only for their functionality in building instrumental technique 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.

As in Vol. 1, each of the examples is laid out in all 12 keys. The range for all exercises is that of the tenor saxophone, but they can be easily transposed to whatever range is most comfortable for your instrument and ability. 

“Slick Licks That Stick! Bass Clef Version" is range-optimized for 4-string acoustic and electric basses, as well as trombone.

“Slick Licks That Stick! Vol.2” is again formatted for optimum viewing on your mobile device. Set on a music stand, the need for scrolling is kept to a minimum.

Save 25%
when purchasing "SUPER! Slick Licks That Stick!" (both Vols. 1 & 2 combined as one 556 page PDF eBook), off the price of buying both volumes separately.

It’s no trick! Start playing these “slick licks” and you’ll soon feel them stick, not only to your fingers, but to your mind as well!

Read what folks are saying about
"Slick Licks That Stick!":

"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" great 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."

"This book provides tons and tons of exercises! It gives the reader enough material to practice for a couple of years, but, more importantly, shows you how to use these licks and how to create your own!

If you want to hone your craft in modern jazz, this book has all the information you need! Great work!"

"...Bobby’s exercises were useful in developing my technique as well as getting my ears accustomed to various chord sounds. I am still working through the book and trying to incorporate these lessons into my musical vocabulary, so there is plenty to keep you busy here."

"As a trombonist, I found Bobby's Slick Licks That Stick! (Bass Clef Version), to be a great book for players who are interested in getting around their horn; especially if you are into using alternate positions.

The variety and quality of the exercises is what makes this book a must, not only for students, but professionals as well. I know that it has helped me and I plan to continue to get the most out of this book in the future."

"At first, I was a bit skeptical; since as a trumpet player I have a different view of the technical possibilities which work on that instrument, as compared to the saxophone.

But, after playing through some of the harmonic ideas, I now find myself with a completely different view of things, which I previously didn't think would be possible. And they don't sound to me like "licks".

"This book is awesome!!! The patterns are so cool. Love it!! Amazing concept, the licks are imaginative and brings fun back into the practice room. For me I play a majority of funk and right now I'm working on the Augmented Scale Pattern #1. 
Great stuff!"

"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!"
