Prepared to boost your jazz improvisation abilities for the piano? Extra simply, if you're playing a song that remains in swing time, then you're already playing to a triplet feeling (you're visualizing that each beat is split right into 3 8th note triplets - and every off-beat you play is delayed and played on the third triplet note (so you're not also playing 2 uniformly spaced 8th notes to begin with).

So rather than playing 2 eight notes in a row, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can separate that quarter note right into three 'eighth note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet coincides size. The initial improvisation technique is 'chord tone soloing', which indicates to compose melodies utilizing the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).

I normally play all-natural 9ths over the majority of chords - consisting of all 3 chords of the significant ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' appears ideal if you play your right hand Bookmarks noisally, and left hand (chord) a bit more quiet - to make sure that the listener listens to the melody note ahead.

It's great for these rooms to find out of scale, as long as they wind up solving to the 'target note' - which will normally be one of the chord tones. The 'chord scale over' method - precede any chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In songs, a 'triplet' is when you play three uniformly spaced notes in the room of two.

Currently you can play this 5 note scale (the incorrect notes) over the very same C minor 7 chord in your left hand. With this method you just 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).

KEEP IN MIND: You likewise obtain a good collection of actions to play, from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you intend to play a short range in your solo. However, to stop your having fun from seeming predictable (and burst out of 8th note pattern), you need to differ the rhythms now and then.
