Hello, friends! You And Peter Ritter. Today we will talk about improvisation. Or rather-where to start improvising.
At the moment, there are a sufficient number of different textbooks on jazz improvisation. But most of them are written quite difficult and are intended for quite prepared people. A beginner musician opening such a textbook immediately stumbles upon an abundance of different modes, harmonic grids and other things. Of course, a beginner musician will immediately close such a textbook.
My opinion is that in order to start improvising, it is not necessary to know the frets and chords. They are just very well studied in the process of learning improvisation.
And you need to start improvising with an understanding of several principles.
For example.
Many young musicians think that jazz improvisation is a composition of music on the go. In fact, this is not so.
Improvisation is a phrase constructor. Phrases are also called "patterns" learn in advance so that the fingers themselves pressed the valves. In real time, the musician does not come up with anything, but rather composes already learned in advance phrases, patterns, scales, and so on.
Chords, frets, scales and so need only to aid in improvisation. It is not necessary to always keep them in mind.
Now to business.
I recommend to start improvisation with some simple works, such as Hit the Road Jack. In which all time one and the same key, and improvisation is played by only one pentatonic.
Pentatonic is a scale that consists of only five notes. A large number of pop music is built on pentatonic. For example, if you take the theme of Hit the road Jack, you will see that the theme consists of one pentatonic.
The first thing You need to do is learn the pentatonic scale in the right key. In this case it is in E minor. Notes Mi Sol La Si Re. After that, play pentatonic minus, paying attention to the rhythm. As a rule, improvisation is played with eight durations. In General, once you learn, you can play under the minus and will sound very good. After that, you can try to play different tunes. And then Your task is simply to fill the hand.
That's all for today. Link to minus Hit the road Jack you will find in the description.
It was Skalikas. My name is Peter Ritter. Bye.
