When it pertains to ending up being a terrific jazz improviser, it's everything about discovering jazz language. So unlike the 'half-step listed below method' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from above it sounds much better when you maintain your notes within the range that you remain in. That's why it's called the 'chord scale above' technique - it remains in the range.

If you're playing in C dorian range, the wrong notes (absent notes) will certainly be C# E F# G # B (or the notes of E significant pentatonic scale). Half-step listed below - chord scale over - target note (e.g. C# - E - D). In this write-up I'll reveal you 6 improvisation methods for jazz piano (or any instrument).

I usually play natural 9ths above many chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' sounds best if you play your right-hand Bookmarks man noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - to make sure that the audience hears the melody note on top.

Merely come before any type of chord tone by playing the note a half-step below. To do this, walk up in half-steps (via the whole chromatic scale), and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current range. Cm7 voicing (7 9 3 5) with single melody note (C) played to interesting rhythm.

Now you might play this 5 note range (the incorrect notes) over the exact same C minor 7 chord in your left hand. With this strategy you simply play the exact same notes that you're already playing in the chord. Chord scale over - half-step below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).

The majority of jazz piano solos feature an area where the tune quits, and the pianist plays a collection of chord expressions, to a fascinating rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, strategy patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal structures', 'playing out' and extra.
