When it concerns ending up being a wonderful Jazz piano improvisation For beginners improviser, it's everything about finding out jazz language. So unlike the 'half-step listed below technique' (which can be outside the scale), when coming close to from over it sounds much better when you keep your notes within the scale that you're in. That's why it's called the 'chord range above' technique - it stays in the range.
So instead of playing two eight notes in a row, which would certainly last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can split that quarter note right into 3 '8th note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same size. The very first improvisation technique is 'chord tone soloing', which means to make up melodies making use of the 4 chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
I normally play natural 9ths above many chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal appearance' appears ideal if you play your right hand noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - to make sure that the audience listens to the melody note ahead.
It's fine for these rooms ahead out of scale, as long as they end up dealing with to the 'target note' - which will usually be just one of the chord tones. The 'chord range over' approach - precede any type of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In music, a 'triplet' is when you play three uniformly spaced notes in the room of 2.
Now you might play this 5 note range (the incorrect notes) over the very same C small 7 chord in your left hand. With this technique you just play the very same notes that you're already playing in the chord. Chord scale over - half-step below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).
NOTE: You likewise get a wonderful collection of actions to play, from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you want to play a brief range in your solo. Nonetheless, to stop your having fun from appearing predictable (and break out of 8th note pattern), you require to differ the rhythms from time to time.
