The first approach to jazz improvisation is to listen, listen, and listen. There are thousands of jazz labels out there: Blue Note, Impulse, Atlantic, Verve, Prestige, Riverside, Jazzland, Pacific, Contemporary, and many more. So, listen to all those albums as much as you can. Even if you master all the scales, modes, and arpeggios, you can't truly play if you don't understand the language.
I really liked this lesson. I've watched it several times. It's filled with wisdom, the wisdom of patience and the wisdom of slowing down. It's zen in that it speaks to how our expectations and grasping mind gets in the way. How doing less and being with what we already know in a spacious way allows for a new way of knowing what's familiar in a new way. Love your tone and also the editing is wonderful.
Letting go, exploring, listening, feeling... there is no right or wrong when it comes to expressing oneself musically. Thank you so much for your insight, Tina. Sometimes the YT algorithm delivers fantastic suggestions. New sub here.
So glad I happened upon this content. So much fun searching and experimenting with notes and scales. Thank you. I really like the way you approach it. Thank you.
omg im gonna call it that for now on. "hang on guys, i gotta breathe before start. get rid of my plonkers". im American so that's a new term for me. LOVE IT
Great I think you helped me open my mind a bit. Because I looked at what could that be and I see the Bbm is a tritone of the 6m and it did not sound too outside
Thank you very much for this very interesting lesson. Did you use for the chords at about 7:40 also the freeze pedal or another looper pedal? Thanks for answering.
Something I figured about Jeff Beck and his great fusion era stuff is, the band made him sound good`r. Not that Jeff needed help to sound awesome as a player, it`s just that with the fancy boogie jazz Jeff could dive right in and do what he does best. Making his presence known, as a matter of course and the lively arrangements only strengthened his already strong hand as the over-the-top kind of player.
One more. David Gilmore. He plays mostly single line stuff like he would otherwise be singing his part, and, he strickly stays in a simple harmonic scale so you can never get lost? Main point is, that grand background he plays to makes him sound like a God. Simple and well-placed melody lines is all he is doing. ;-)
Ein sehr gutes Video. Einige Ansätze erinnern mich an das, was ich bei Kenny Werner in seinem Buch "Effortless Mastery" gelesen habe. Auch eine sehe empfehlenswerte Lektüre. Ich werde deinem Kanal mal folgen. Da sind spannende Sachen dabei😊😊
Hello Tina! So, couple of months ago I figured your channel out throught the Jimmy Bruno reference that ve done about him, have been enjoy so much the content so far, congrats! I would like ask a question relates about and which harmony/chords is a good one for practice minor melodic chord? Thank you.
thank you Marcos! there is a minor melodic scale BUT not exactly a minor melodic chord. the scale has 7 chords that you can build on each note ( like with the chords that you could build from a major scale) and on each of those chords you can use the melodic minor scale ( that the chord stems from) to improvise over it :)
@@tinajackel Thanks for answered me Tina. Bsaically I did a misunderstand when I said '' minor melodic chord''. I got the idea that you can improvise in each chord choose diferent minor melodic scale keys. However which chord progession is useful for Melodic minor Scale? Just tension and resolution or II V I or then minor melodic scale we just aproached as a scale only? with no chord progressions just think in each chord? Thank you Tina!
The first approach to jazz improvisation is to listen, listen, and listen then transcribe, transcribe, transcribe then make it yours! Get the rhythm perfect then focus on the colours!
@@tinajackel only issue is you resort to thinking like a guitar player , if you come up with a melody in your head , it'll usually be played in way that is completely different than using the same shapes , intervals etc. I'm not disagreeing by any means , it's just an avenue that has made players like gilmour make such memorable solos. Not to mention, it's just about everyones goal to play what's in their head .
You practice odd groupings and subdivisions with arpeggios/modes and chromaticism precisely in between two strong beats and then practice robotically for a millennia is how you play better solos.
You can’t learn improvisation from a TH-cam video you learn over years of doing it. There’s no shortcut. You don’t learn fitness fitness is something that you do it’s the same with music

i can only agree.
I love how you remove some of the mystery from theory, at least for my sake, your language makes it more accessible, thank you
thank you! i am happy to be of help!
My favorite guitar class video ever. I love and appreciate your content. Quality! Thank you!
thank you!

It's all attitude not zen
@@swinggenesis8465 it's attitude and not zen b/c why exactly? I mean don't call it zen - idc - that's how it speaks to me.
thank you!
I am very intrigued with your approach to making a melody within those beautiful chords! Thank you!
I love and appreciate your content! Thanks! I'm a classical guitarist but the jazz is amazing
Very interesting practice ideas. I will try to implement them in my practice routines!
thank you!

So glad I happened upon this content. So much fun searching and experimenting with notes and scales. Thank you. I really like the way you approach it. Thank you.
thank you for watching my videos!
I enjoyed hearing your thought process as you improvised. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
thank you!
Same here. I stumbled upon this somehow and I'm glad I did. Hearing her approach is really interesting.
11:40 you described it perfectly! Brilliant insight
thank you!
Well, done Tina. Thank you for the simple but very impressive class.
thank you!
Thank Tina for the meaningfull Content!!
your welcome!
How practice can become a magnificent piece of a serene "Minimal Jazz" tune. Amazing and wonderful🎶👌
Thank you for this. The best solos I’ve played happened when I connected my ears with my fingers and cut out the plonker in between.
omg im gonna call it that for now on. "hang on guys, i gotta breathe before start. get rid of my plonkers". im American so that's a new term for me. LOVE IT
Very nice video. I play bass guitar, however your video also helps me. Thank you.
Can’t wait to get home and try this - thank you ❤🙏
have fun ! 😍
Great I think you helped me open my mind a bit. Because I looked at what could that be and I see the Bbm is a tritone of the 6m and it did not sound too outside
Love the content of this, because it's slow it's much easier to follow
Thanks.
thank you!
This was great. Even as an absolute beginner I could grasp the concepts. I'll have to return to this once my mechanical skills are up to par.
thank you!
Thank you very much for this very interesting lesson.
Did you use for the chords at about 7:40 also the freeze pedal or another looper pedal? Thanks for answering.
i used the ditto looper later on in the video :)
Really enjoying your content and perspective. Fresh! Cheers.
thank you!
Thanks Tina.
great content, subscribed. thanks !
thank you!
Merry Christmas from Thailand
thank you! merry christmas and a happy new year!
Excellent video thank you!
wow…all true…simple and very wise
thank you 😊
Interesting and inspiring. Thank you Tina.
thank you!
3:47 I need to remember this.
Great lesson
thank you
Great 👍🏿

very true. but i want to add. if you understand what is going on in an improvisation/ line it can be easier to digest.
Ah nice! And another Ibanez! Is that the AS2200 or AS2000? Or other model?
it’s the john scofield model: Ibanez JSM100-VT John Scofield Signature
Very nice sounding and beautiful guitar. I would really love to have one.
That guitar is nice
thank you!
❤❤
Best way to come up with something original is to just come up with it in your head then find it on the guitar
for me the best things come up when i sit down with my guitar and just play :)

right
right.
Good lesson are you german btw.
yes
You practice odd groupings and subdivisions with arpeggios/modes and chromaticism precisely in between two strong beats and then practice robotically for a millennia is how you play better solos.
Sounds interesting. Could you do a video on it?
great idea!
The G lydian scale would be sounding better in the last example: Db in 1st chord becomes C# in the second chord.
thank you! i will check that out!
Guitar solos are subjective things i don't like any Van Halen solos but lot of other people seem to like them.
🩵💟💖💟🩵
Merry Christmas❤❤❤ from Poland !
marry christmas and a happy new year!
random notes without feeling are no soloing...
yes

yes i completely agree - still when i am working out at the gym i am happy to have a trainer every now and then
Well techniques and ideas could be taught. You just have to practice over and over to come up with your own sound
Sing, then play what you just sang
Tina, the background music while you are talking is a distraction.
is it too loud?
Is it the loop you hear?
To much talking and not enough action?
Be careful, you may learn something if you listen too hard
Chee Maychor
yes !!
