It's all concerning discovering jazz language when it comes to ending up being a great jazz improviser. So unlike the 'half-step below approach' (which can be outside the scale), when coming close to from above it sounds far better when you keep your notes within the scale that you remain in. That's why it's called the 'chord scale above' technique - it stays in the scale.

So rather than playing 2 eight notes in a row, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can divide that quarter note into 3 'eighth note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet coincides length. The very first improvisation technique is 'chord tone soloing', which suggests to make up tunes utilizing the 4 chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).

For this to work, it needs to be the next note up within the range that the music remains in. This provides you 5 notes to play from over each chord (1 3 5 7 9) - which is plenty. This can be applied to any note size (half note, quarter note, eighth note) - but when soloing, it's typically applied to 8th notes.

Simply come before any chord tone by playing the note a half-step listed below. To do this, stroll up in half-steps (through the entire chromatic range), and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current range. Cm7 voicing (7 9 3 5) with solitary melody note (C) played to interesting rhythm.

Jazz artists will certainly play from a wide array of pre-written melodious forms, which are put before a 'target note' (normally a chord tone, 1 3 5 7). Initially let's develop the 'appropriate notes' - normally I would certainly play from the dorian range over small 7 chord.

The majority of jazz piano improvisation for beginners piano solos include an area where the tune quits, and the pianist plays a series of chord voicings, to an intriguing rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, technique patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal appearances', 'playing out' and much more.
