Creative Improv & Practise, 3/2/21


Hi jazzers,

 
Thanks to those who attended last week and thank you for your kind emails regarding how the class helped to structure and put a creative spark into your practice whilst learning how to create authentic sounding jazz lines.
 
This Weds we will look at how to improvise through the tune “On the Sunny Side of the street” whilst nailing the changes, outlining the harmony.
 
You don’t need to have attended last week to understand what we are doing this week.
It’s helpful to have your instruments at hand so you can run through some of the examples.
 
Please find below,
1. Payment info

See you Weds!

7 scale shapes, Sussex Jazz Guitar School

In our quest for mastery over the fingerboard and to be able to create long, flowing jazz lines flowing between shapes so we are not stuck in position, here is a diagram of all the 7 scale shapes I use.
The   CAGED system seems to miss 2, thus missing out a mountain of possibilities.

As a reference system, where the 1st finger is on the 6th string you can call each position terms such as… first finger on 1st fret –  F Ionian or position 1, or the 1st finger on 3rd fret – G Dorian or position 2…. etc..

The red notes are the extra  notes added to ensure 3 notes per string to develop the twisting, turning, spiralling lines.

Creative Practising & improvisation for all instruments

Wednesday 27th Jan, 6.30pm TIL 7.30pm
Hi there! I’ll be showing you a variety of improvisation approaches and how to practise them effectively to ensure maximum learning, getting out of any practise ruts.

Musicians can work at their own level using these concepts and apply these to whichever chords, arpeggios, tunes etc they know. So whatever your level you can access this class and use it to further your understanding of whatever musical knowledge you already have.

We will be looking at the tune Sunny Side of the Street in the key of F for applying these concepts to a tune.  You can work on as little or as much of the tune as you feel comfortable. See the chart below in ireal pro format, printable.

It would help if you know what a 2,5,1 progression is and other points such as playing arpeggios, the tune Autumn leaves or any standards of your choice, the 1,2,3,5 pattern (ie, in C it would be C,D,E,G).  But again, it doesn’t matter as everyone can apply the concepts to whatever they know.

If you click on “going” on the Facebook event that would be great.
