A huge part of playing Jazz solos is following the chord progression. Learning how to solo over chord changes can seem difficult, but there are very useful exercises to help you develop that skill, and this video will help you develop your playing so that you don't end up failing to keep uå with the chords but instead naturally flow through the progression.

@barrymaher3922 5 месяцев назад

Play your arpeggios diatonically, for example, from the c major scale. It helped me more than any other single exercise and I got the idea from our friend Jens. I started working on this about six months ago and I play them everyday as part of my warm up. After you learn them in order, mix them up. Pretty soon you are outlining ii-V7-I’s with no effort required. Cheers!

@vincej151 3 года назад

As always a great lesson. You make everything sound so easy. My personal challenge is that I generally have no idea what the notes are in the next chord are and so targeting and playing towards a specific note is not possible for me. I have started writing out the notes in all the chords, and trying to see which notes are unique to that chord. This a real job and takes a lot of the fun out of playing. The net result is that I practice less and less. Bummer I know. I am envious of those people who can play towards a note with such ease. Thanks as always.

This is a little bit like saying when writing poetry it's a lot of work to try to match the words because your vocabulary is lacking, taking the fun out of it.

@hommedemystere 3 года назад

Thanks for all your great videos, Jens, I have learned a lot from you. I do have a big question, though. You often talk about how important it is to play towards a target note in the next chord. I never do that. My approach to improvising is to simply hit one of the closest chord tones (or significant color tone) to wherever I happen to be on the fretboard at the moment. As I know where all the arpeggio notes are, the note I hit wasn't targeted... it was just fortuitously the one that happens to be close. I think that this approach has two advantages. First, I'm guessing that it requires much less thinking, and second, it produces very smooth flowing lines. I'll point out that my method doesn't prevent me from choosing a chord tone that is not close, and sometimes I do that to break things up. All this said, however, perhaps I'm missing an important point? Would love to get your feedback.

@JensLarsen 3 года назад

The target notes thinking is just to give the solo the right type of flow, you hear that in Bebop and Bach quite clearly. I think there is more to it than hitting the right note like you describe.

@hommedemystere 3 года назад

@@JensLarsen thanks for your response... would it be possible to say a bit more about why you think there is a difference? Both methods hit legitimate target notes... one is planned in advance, and the other simply uses the closest one at the moment of change.

@pickngrimace4025 3 года назад

I agree totally with what you say (about knowing where nearby chord tones are when you are ready to change chords), and try to either get to one of those on the downbeat of the next chord, or if you hit a non-chord tone by mistake, try to hear how that relates to the nearby chord tone so that you can use a chromatic enclosure or something like this to get to the nearby chord tone ASAP and make the mistake sound intentional. If you think too far ahead, you are not playing in the moment, and too much planning can make jazz become like classical music (over rehearsed and not reacting to what you are hearing or feeling in the moment).

@hommedemystere 3 года назад

@@pickngrimace4025 yep, that's how I feel about it, too. Having to think about the next target note a few beats down the road seems to get in the way of playing in the moment. That said, I would be interested in better understanding Jens's view on this.

@pickngrimace4025 3 года назад

@@hommedemystere Maybe if you are not actually improvising but composing lines and working towards becoming an improvising guitarist, then including target notes in your solo and composing lines that lead to those notes makes sense, but once you are improvising in real time, then maybe you should only think of target notes when you are very close to the end of the current chord getting ready for the next chord, and "thinking" would be more like being aware of what possible target notes existed nearby (or at an intervallic distance that was easy to get to and made good melodic sense).

@cuppajoeman8569 3 года назад

3:22 - You recommend using a D harmonic minor. I am trying to understand why, this is what I have gotten thus far: From what I gather we are doing a 2 5 1 in the key of C, so the main notes we would use are the notes in that scale: C D E F G A B C We add in a secondary dominant (A7) - it's notes would be A C# E G (X) Now we pretend that the current key is D minor - we can do this because the current chord is D minor. The notes in D minor would be D E F G A Bb C. With respect to A7, we could raise the C to a C# so that every note of A7 would be in the scale. Raising this note makes it a D harmonic minor scale - this is why we can improvise with it. == Question == How can we assume/pretend (X) that the key is D minor? As this alters the original C major scale to have a Bb.

@cuppajoeman8569 3 года назад

From my point of view would this be more suitable? We are playing in C major so our main notes would be: C D E F G A B When we are going to improvise on top of the A7 - we would like to include notes from the D Dorian scale, because this one only contains notes from C major still. (D E F G A B C) Modifying that to match with the A7 we can raise the C to a C#, to get D E F G A B C#, which is D Melodic minor. So would we improvise with D Melodic Minor over the A7?

@JensLarsen 3 года назад

No, mainly because the sound of a dominant in minor is usually from Harmonic minor and in the context, Dm7 is a subdominant chord, and the note that signals that the progression moves to the subdominant is a Bb which is the b9 on A7.

@kukumuniu5658 3 года назад

I wanted to share my thoughts with someone In a Natural Major, the seven chords have specific functions I,iii,vi - tonic ii,IV - subdominant V,vii - dominant but what is happening in Harmonic Major? (ionian flat 6) in harmonic minor there is even worse because ionian #5 has no perfect fifth ,so,where is dominant for this mode? On vii degree?

@JensLarsen 3 года назад

That's easy: Modal harmony is not functional harmony so modes don't have dominants.
