You're actually taking improvisation apart and showing us the compositional principles. Splendid lesson. Nos vemos.

@RichieZellon 2 года назад

Gracias! Improvisation is definitely a form of composition...

This answers a question I had only a few moment ago. Now answered. As a beginner I actually understood it!

Wow. This is the best description of how to develop an improv. Thanks.

Logical and thorough. I appreciate that he's not just playing scales as so many do.

Nice - This might be one of the seemingly simple, but most important lessons. Awesome

Excellent explanation of the building blocks to improvising. I have read and watched tons of videos and nothing comes anywhere close to this. A million thanks.

I'm learning jazz piano and this is a wonderful explanation of improv that I can use on the piano.

Richie, I wish I had started so many years ago with jazz instead of waiting until I was almost 60. You have answered so many questions that I have had about it. Thx for these lessons they have made the old man study.

@bossanovaboy 3 года назад

A very logically structured and useful lesson. I like it! At least you could start with this to have a foundation and then continue with scales and arpeggios the way you like it.

@JSDJerry 2 года назад

I may have re-watched this, but it is still beautifully explained and demonstrated. I call your guide tomes “strong melody notes.” Am I wrong?

@markr8326 3 года назад

Thanks for the lesson Richie. Been searching for advice on this for YEARS literally(that's what happens when you try & teach yourself) Is there a PDF that goes with this lesson, the screen notation is great ,just checking anyway ?

@RichieZellon 3 года назад

Yes, there is a free PDF download. Just register at jazzguitar.richiezellon.com to download.
