Thanks for taking the time to prepare this stuff for people that might not have easy access to a skilled jazz teacher.

I think the lick you talked about is quote from KoKo

Awesome!

3 months have passed , how are you doing within reaching your goals?

I have been looking for someone to explain why these jazz exercises work for so long. I am a second semester at Berklee and just recently started learning jazz improv. Once you went over the free play step and how to make it your own it finally opened my ears. Thank you.

0:50 haha nvm

What that line you did at the beginning of this video… I’m a jazz newbie and tryna learn some things.. I ask because it reminds me of blues for Alice by Charlie Parker

This is great, thank you!!

Love this video - so relevant and well said!

Thanks for the Lesson! One question though, what is it you're doing when your moving your jaw back and forth? I've seen multiple saxophonist do it in live footage and I've been wondering what it is people are doing.

wich saxophone do you use?

Hey Mr Blockley, it’s me, Tiger. Your student from 2023. I enjoyed being your student. Have a great rest of your career and life!

noah and memphis love it

best video i have seen on improv. thank you so much mate

Seems like learning a few useful phrases in French before going on vacation to Paris. It in no way means you are a French speaker! You just know a few short phrases to communicate simple ideas…….much like what he is demonstrating with these “hacks” in jazz piano. It in no way means you can’t go forward and learn in more depth later.

Duuuuuuude I'll listen to you play solo all day.

I am very taken aback that this only has a handful of views. Cool video, I play cello and have recently started messing around with jazz improv on it, this definitely makes me wanna do more, so thanks man!

Thought I was about to hear some random "modern" bull, but you sound really great!

wonderful video. I was shocked to realize how small of a channel you are, and it's clear you shouldn't be for long.

Great video dude, very helpful. I've subscribed!

Bro this is pretty good!

Thank you so much! The lesson & story are great and your improvisation is really calm & beautiful. It reminds me of Bach's Cello Suites! *Nice interpretation on nearness of you also ;)

Thank you for sharing this awesome video! James Moody always stressed working on triads. He also loved to talk about "Coltrane concepts." I was blessed to see him annually in Chicago for 21 years. Thanks again, Jayden!!!👏🏾✌🏾

I don't disagree with the steps, but I disagree with the order. Free play should be the first. I have been learning songs by ear, and just playing over them at first is much more engaging. When I tried to transcribe before, I always focused on getting the exact notes first. It's much easier to get a hang of the context of the piece than the exact notes at first. But I am a beginner, so that might be less of an issue later on. And it's actually fun, so I actually want to do it. It does not feel like practice at all.

Do you ever play with keyboard/piano players?

Whats the play along program called?

I feel like over the years I've seen so many practice guide videos that I took nothing from, and this might be the first one that clicked in my mind. Something about how it was focused on acquiring sounds separate from shapes (guitar player here) really made sense. Thanks a ton!

Thanks. Great step by step approach to taking an element of jazz improv language, pushing it around on your freestyle way then moving forward into application of the lick or phrase in a tune. Never did all the steps together like that.

Very good tips Jayden ! Thanks for sharing these 5 !

Thanks for sharing, mate. It was so clear that I think I actually understood xD

Awesome lesson man

Jayden,, thanks SO much for the lesson! Very well explained. After years of not playing, this time around I've decided to incorporate the rigors of transcribing and ear training. Your explanations on the application process really registered with me. Great advise. Thanks again :)

Love your videos Jayden

Really cool way to exercise, and crystal clear way to teach it. Thank you for sharing it man.

Yo learn shit by ear. Don't learn from someone else's transcription. There is only so much written music can give you. Hearing it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay deeeeeeper. In my opinion!
