Improvising, Part 3: Specific Exercises
In this video, Scott gives you some specific things to work on: learning the building blocks (scales, arpeggios, chords) of each tune you’re going to improvise on; finding the melodic signposts of a tune; and practicing one-measure, two-measure, four-measure phrases that lead into the sign posts. He also talks about targeting chord tones in the chord progression you’re playing and gives you specific exercises to work on; thinking about the notes that chords have in common so you can sustain a melody or phrase while the chords are changing; and varying phrases of tunes you know, with six variation ideas.
