God Bless you all Guys!! Here sharing with you some thoughts About the most ''Scary'' Topic ''How to solo or How to improv'' If you want to get the full masterclass here the link - yousicplay.com/masterclass-je...
@@m.a.3322 That's how God uses people. He truly only wants people to follow Him to share His salvation and joy unto others in this dark and weary world. That is what His love can do for us. 😊
Fit entire goal is to make musical performance unconscious, while the aware-conscious mind can dwell in the emotional Realm in order to draw inspiration to be executed unconsciously through the fingers. It's like driving home from a job and totally not having the ability to recall the experience driving home due to being totally lost in thought. That's the unconscious part of the brain operating vehicle while conscious part is elsewhere. That's the same exact idea with playing the piano. You want to be able to improvise while daydreaming. When I play music at my church while the pastor is preaching, I am only conscious about the message that the preacher is delivering, only a low percentage of conscious thought is utilized making decisions pertaining to the actual music aspect.
@@johnimusic12 Hello... U gave an accurate Psychological lecture n analysis on Musical improvisation n creating on the flow... Yess this is what happens when masters play.. One should learn to act from the Sub conscious Mind...!! 😎🙏🙏✨
This is insane, I've been overthinking things waaaaay to much, never knew a one chord C Major imporv could sound so good. Thank you Mr. Molina! Very eye opening!
I feel like the fact that he sings the melodies might be the most telling. Like, there's a very different, much more physical way we connect to music and melodies through voice instead of just instrumental playing. He's engaging that part of his brain when he improvises; it's not really just the fingers or his muscle memories on autopilot at all.
@David Gray How?? This is the most basic kind of improv, aimed at those who have never improvised in their life. You pick a scale, and... well, you just play it. But what about chords? voicings? complex harmonies and changes? What he demonstrates here is great and incredibly effective to start off improvising, but it's the first 1%.
“it's about thinking behind. you need to think behind. it's not like, ‘i'm going to wait for the chord to stay then i’m gonna do’. you need to connect all of them. you see? like the flow” “because the idea is to make the keyboard apart of you” this is literally the musician's equivalent to bruce lee saying “be water, my friend”. love it
@@plinyelder8156 I would have agreed with you, but the gesture he does at 3:40 really seems to mean "behind", so I'm a bit confused on what he wanted to say
@@alexandrosgoulas he says don’t wait for the chord to come to you. If you’re thinking behind, you will make this mistake. He then says you have to show the way that the chord is going. This means you have to think ahead. When I improvise, I always think ahead. It doesn’t even make sense to think behind in my opinion.
I watched his doing everything just using the c major scale and I thought: "easy" until I try to do it! How can this be so hard especially for classical musicians?
playing improvisational in jazz music is much harder than in classical music especially when playing at master level eventhough both classical and jazz is quite hard but jazz focus on complex harmony and classical only care about complex notes.If you play piano,its keys also not a good instrument for this genre of music (neo soul,r&b,acid jazz).
Of course, if you look at the keyboard as an entity separate from yourself it won't happen. It's just a tool in your hand, like a hammer that you use to express what you're thinking. So you've got to have it completely under your hands which takes a long time and a lot of practice so that you can think the sound and your hands will play it. When I first heard that it sounded weird but I've taught myself to do that and the best way is learning to play with your eyes closed... then you develop a direct connection between the sounds you hear and what your hands do. It takes practice but it can be done.
Not only an incredible player but conveying information (which is not always easy when speaking of jazz and improvisation) in a second language at a young age. Kudos!
Almost exactly how I teach people to write music. Loved watching this. Made me feel like I wasn’t the only one not crazy for just sticking to a stuffy book; way more fun to learn this way. True art!
Wonderful Sense of resolution thanks to the amount of practice he has and also, he has good phrasing cuz he resolves using His ears in real time to land on guide tones to release tension. His resources are mainly arpeggios but he lands on those guide tones at will 1:48 goes to the fifth of the chord lands there. Before that It seems that he stays on the Sixth but moved to resolution quickly.
Soy baterista nacido en Barranquilla Colombia. Primero que nada felicitaciones por poner ese talento al servicio de otros. Y por otro lado me encanto tu explicación de la improvisación, de hecho creo que le quitas mucho complique en cuanto a cómo estudiar el instrumento, y termina por desanimar a aquellos que quieren dedicarse a esto de la música. Bendiciones Jesús y pa'lante manito!
I struggle to separate the timing of my left hand and right hand. But I can’t wait to give this a go tonight when I get home from work. Thanks Jesus :)
Classic blues song Dont let your left hand know what your right hand do ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UOxCvLjxK1s.html basically just focus on your left hand, stare at it, think about it, watch it, focus on it - do NOT look at your right hand, do not look at it, do not think about it.
Thank you so much @Jesus Molina you are really a God sent , today I’ve learned a lot , you revealed so much of the questions I’ve been asking my whole time of play but it’s been so hard for other professionals to explain the way you have made it seem so simple . No I feel like I want to practice again . We love you Jesus Molina
Wow, I learned a lot , I really needed this. A simple approach to improvisation. It's actually the first time I heard that you can do that much with just C Major.
I've been longing all these years to understand what you speak since 2015(that was the year I heard about you) finally thankyou for speaking in English. You are really a blessed musician.
Fantastic. I met Jesus Molina once at Berklee, I told him I loved that video of him playing on the beach. He was such a kind guy. And the way music flows out of him is amazing. Truly a rising legend.
Hi Sir Jesus. Just want to say that I truly appreciate your Video Post and your approach to Improvisation. I most certainly know where you are coming from and can more than relate to what you are doing. Great stuff Bro. As a Musician/Composer/Teacher I always listen to all as I have learned that everyone has his/her unique perspective and Voice! Music is so Powerful, Vast and Expansive that no one will ever have total monopoly on Her/Music! Thanks again for sharing with us again!
I think he's actually saying it accurately! He means that you can't let your brain take too much of the lead and you have to flow to the next chord without theorizing about it beforehand. In that sense the brain actually is thinking behind, or you let the flow go ahead and your brain follow.
@@prundonmcavoy7155 So does he mean to think reactively rather than proactively? Because thinking reactively would be in response to your surroundings whereas thinking proactively predicts what will happen in your surroundings.
Gracias Jesús, muy bueno!! Te admiro muchisimo desde que tocabas el saxo ja y pondre en practica todas tus enseñanzas, por favor has mas videos como este , un abrazo desde Argentina. Bendiciones!
It's a lot more difficult, that's why improvisation is an art of its own, as he said, a lot of techniques and resources, also a pretty good ear for intervals if you want to play what you hear in your head
That's why you do this 5 minutes every day. I still can't hear melodies in my head all the time but it's because i need to listen more and transcribe more. Eventually i'll hear many things that I won't be able to play and this exercise helps with that.
Maestro, lo cuenta de una manera tal, que lo engancha y lo hace lucir fácil, pero nada mas alejado de mi realidad. Felicitaciones por sus grandes logros, fruto del esfuerzo y dedicación total
Man, i'm a guitar player, I want to thank you so much for this lessons, this topic is about all the things I'm studying right now, it's such a great lesson this one, I like the way you play, I like the way you explain, I like everything about this video... thank you so much RU-vid for this suggestion, without it I never found this musician!
expléndido ! qué gran músico en todos los aspectos! yo no quiero ser músico profesional pues tengo ya 48 y ni me lo planteo. Pero me compré mi primer piano hace 10 años, uno digital, y siempre me ha dado pereza estudiar escalas y teoría, pero amo la música y la improvisación. Como un juego he ido probando y hace cosa de 2 años atrás, di un salto cualitativo que me sorprendió hasta a mi, hoy dia me pongo temas de jazz que nunca antes había escuchado y soy capaz de tocar e improvisar y mis dedos siguen las notas que escucho en mi mente, cambios de tonalidades y la verdad que es increible, yo no se como lo he logrado, una vez que termina la cancion no recuerdo casi nada de lo que he hecho, simplemente he fluido con la cancion, es realmente adictivo porque es un placer indescriptible. 👐
Ive always wanted to know what was inside the head of an S tier improviser.....This is the most helpful video I have watched on improv ever. Thanks sooooooooooo much. Learning licks wasn't helpful for me
Amazing what he can do with a simple major scale. If I understand correctly, anytime he plays a chord in this video, he improvises on the major scale related to the chord he's playing ?
Yes he did! Basically. He does do some Lydian off of the Ab and also the Db I think, which helps the music fit smoothly into the progression. But yes always major or else a little Lydian. There was a moment during the Ab part of the progression where he actually played an Fmin7 chord instead, but that’s the same scale. You could apply the same concept to a series of minor chords though and use minor or Dorian or Phrygian scales or exotic scales.
He’s right, what he’s doing right now is talking with he’s hands. I can tell because he’s singing the melody and he’s hands is doing the same thing so he got at a level that whatever he’s thinking he do it with he’s hands Sorry I don’t speak English very well
Your videos have helped me a lot. Especially just simple words like feel , or play free, not to always think structure or theory but to use combination on how you connect the music to your feelings and where you want to take your music. Big help thanks. Lots of improvement since watching your videos. Play simple enough to sing along. So many things I have learned from you. I admire your talent greatness
Finding which notes are in common in chords, You're going to feel it when playing. Thank you for this. Also singing your notes makes the melody so beautiful. I'll try this for 5 minutes everyday
Muy buena explicacion ,me gusto mucho lo claro que dices todo como debe de ser saludos hermano desde canada me encanta tu forma de tocar y cuando bajas esos solos versatiles exactamente se trata de no pensar a la hora del solo ,es dejarte llevar gracias por tus videos hermano se aprecia y se aprende mas .!!
caught that too, but later figured he maybe meant he's going to do C minor scale on top of Ab(6th on root). which doesn't make much sense either lol, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
