How to Play What You Hear - for Jazz Guitarists - Lesson, Q&A, and Tutorial
In this video, we'll look into three interesting (and complementary) aspects to playing what you hear on your instrument. This is NOT an easy task! But hopefully, with these jazz guitar tips, you can learn to increase your hearing abilities.
First tip:
REDUCE the number of constraints

You're trying to juggle too many balls at once! That is when executing jazz guitar improvisation.
The trick? Simplify! Work on one precise thing and let your ears guide you.
Second tip:
Play and Sing, Sing and Play
(Time Stamp in Video: 5:02 )
Hum, whistle, or sing along to lines your playing on the guitar.
Or do like George Benson and scat-sing all along! There's an interesting anecdote on this one!
Third tip:
Practice "Vivid Aural Imagination"
(Time Stamp in Video: 9:36 )
Here's the book "Forward Motion" by Hal Galper:

Just use that precise exercise, as found in the video. Play a slow half-note line (C major scale) and then practice hearing this very loudly in your mind. After, add pickup notes while still just hearing the slow-moving line in your head.
This last exercise is an incredible tool to learn to
A- Play what you hear and
B- Master jazz improvisation!
Hope you liked the video.
