Flowers Improv - J Dilla

Just jamming to some J Dilla.

[@Benry675]

DANG. Everything about your playing is so good. Your rhythm, phrasing, and your left hand comping is crazy! Super nice stuff.

[@theglockenspiel]

I’ve been listening to this every day for past 3 weeks, absolutely incredible

[@BlakeProbert]

I’m glad you like it 💫

[@manugc._.3369]

Me too man

[@jonathanflores2302]

I just had the idea of recording some improv over J Dilla beats so I looked up to see if it had been done. This is the best one; I'll be back to this video to learn those voicings-so hip

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

[@Narokx]

SHREEEEDDDD

[@hhubre]

This reminds me of the Cab Fare guitar dub, it’s incredible

[@stalingomez5251]

Im a bassist and my dream is to meet someone who likes and plays this kind of music and jam together 😢

[@jamesdonaldson6584]

This is incredible, u should live stream ur improvs!!!

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you, I'm thinking about doing this soon. I'm not sure whether its gonna be youtube to start. I dont know. Sounds fun though :D

[@Astrothunder_]

Amazing, Dilla would have loved this fam!! What keyboard is this? Looks like it says Roland on the side but idk what model.

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you 🙏🏻 it’s a Roland FA06

[@foundout161]

That second note you played should eb a half step instead of a whole step

[@nikverghese]

Did you tune the piano down cents? The piano doesn’t sound like a full key

[@BlakeProbert]

Yes I think I did, just to try and get close to the original frequency. :)

[@joshuamallory8107]

Criminally underrated. Friend, do you write your own music?

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you.
I used to, but never really liked what I wrote.

[@randomango2789]

You have a lot of musical talent. I wish I knew how to improvise like that 👍🏽

[@BlakeProbert]

Thanks @randomango

[@slimyfister]

Practise and use a song key to work out expected chord structures and extensions, then work out what scale to use for those chords (g chord in cmaj could be spelt GBDFA which would be solo'd over using a mixolydian scale)
Once you get comfy with that admittedly hard concept you can try break the rules , like using different extensions for colour / surprise

[@diceblock]

Wonderful. It feels like vektroid's first album!

[@huha4811]

What album are you refering too if i may ask

[@TwinkieReid]

Mannnn this makes me wanna learn how to play. So good

[@cherellesmith7873]

This is amazing! I already love that beat but it sounds so heavenly with the piano!

[@Don-xn7nr]

This is a gem bro, I love your how good your rhythm is on the beat breaks, you and Dilla blend amazingly together!

[@antgal9467]

I misread the hell out of this. Thought it said you "Improved J Dilla".... No lie, was about to report this channel. Lol. Dope though, you get a like from me.

You responded super quick!! But I was wondering, if I could personally message you to see if you could actually help me with a tutorial of this improvisation (if you still remember). I'm literally in the piano room of my college and im hyped at the chords and the feeling it gives. Thank you in advance!
