Hear Jazz Solos And Improvisations

When it pertains to ending up being an excellent jazz improviser, it's everything about learning jazz piano techniques language. So unlike the 'half-step listed below technique' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from over it sounds better when you maintain your notes within the range that you remain in. That's why it's called the 'chord scale over' technique - it stays in the scale.

So rather than playing 2 8 notes straight, which would certainly last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can divide that quarter note into three '8th note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same size. The first improvisation method is 'chord tone soloing', which means to make up tunes using the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).

I generally play natural 9ths above many chords - consisting of all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal appearance' seems ideal if you play your right hand noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - to make sure that the listener listens to the melody note on top.

It's great for these enclosures to come out of range, as long as they end up solving to the 'target note' - which will usually be among the chord tones. The 'chord scale above' technique - come before any type of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In music, a 'triplet' is when you play three evenly spaced notes in the room of two.

Currently you can play this 5 note range (the wrong notes) over the same C minor 7 chord in your left hand. With this technique you just play the exact same notes that you're currently playing in the chord. Chord scale above - half-step listed below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).

KEEP IN MIND: You likewise obtain a great series of steps to play, from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you wish to play a brief range in your solo. However, to stop your having fun from seeming foreseeable (and break out of eighth note pattern), you need to vary the rhythms once in a while.
