Tony... this is so useful. You're really showing some great options for soloing over the Girl from Ipanema which I've memorised but have never improvised over. Targeting particular notes is such a great approach and then trying to knit phrases together. This is something I can really work on enjoyably. Of course there are infinite variations and we can all put our own mark on what we play but it's great to have a more structured approach to improvising. Thanks so much 😊
Tony you’re the goat!! Thank you so much. Best video so far for intermediate/adv players and overall theory! So much to unravel ! Pure magic thank u so much
Your piano sounds very good in this! hammer voicing and tuning sounds spot on! Has some age to it. Much better than just a new Yamaha would.... Very cool lesson too!!!
Love the tip! Thank you. I hope you will forgive one constructive observation. The occasional expletives are a little startling. Look, we're adults, I use them. It would never startle anyone to omit them in a video, though. Not a slap, just offering that for your consideration.
Hi Tony, thank you for the thoughts and ideas!! We play this one on occasion in our little band and I've wanted a way to "enhance" it a little more. We play it pretty straight the first time through but then it's nice to branch out into more "interesting" things. Also, thanks for being real! My most favorite off the cuff remark, "I couldn't do it again like that if you paid me!" Love it! Happens to me all the time, too. LOL!! There is something about what happens with on the spot improv that kinda makes this stuff special. Appreciate ya, man!
Tony happens to me also, thereafter having a song recorded ,my solos, I can't repeated the same when playing it again , I try to do also midi data ,so I could at least read again., Somehow it's not satisfactory.😜
Thanks for your videos, Tony. An absolute treasure trove of knowledge and experience. Maybe a weird question: you talk a lot about choosing target notes based on rootless voicings you're playing. Any advice for a horn player playing with a big band with guitar, piano and bass? Does any of the advice change when you can't necessarily guess or know what notes or alterations will be included in the background of any given chord? Play it safer, or go crazier because theoretically every note possible is already there?
Hey Tony, everytime I try to improvise on the chords, I struggle to on time, often adding an extra beat to the end before I move onto the next bar. I try to count out loud but when I do, I always cannot improvise. I tap by foot on the ground when I play but usually have no clue where I am in the measure. Is there a way to fix these problems?
OK, that is something I cannot answer in a few sentences, but.... Play something where you don't have to count. A 12 bar blues with the chop left hand or just simple chords, don't count, just go by feel. play along to a metronome that accents the first beat. I suspect that a great many of my viewers have this issue so let me think how I might address this in a future video.
Thanks man I learn every time. You teach the way I like it. Your humble wealth of Musical knowledge is well put into your videos. Thanks a lot. You live what you know. MusiC. Gracias !!

Excellent Tony, that was great! Keep up the good work. Really appreciate it. :)
Target notes - exactly what I'm currently working on :)
great lesson, Tony! thank you!
Gracias por tus enseñanzas, me aclaran muchas dudas que tenía, cada una de ellas.
Saludos desde Uruguay.
This is a good well organized lesson. Super helpful seeing variations on the same chord over and over.

Awesome!!!
As always, you answer questions I didn't even know I had! Fresh and insightful per usual Tony :)
Love it. You could so easily have mashed up Take the A train. You almost ran straight into it with those extensions.

"We back up a bit and fuck it all up it again." Omg lmao
Pure catharsis and great advice about checking the preceeding measure there ❤

Thank you,Maestro.🌹🌹🌹🌹
You are very welcome!

Hi Tony: loved this one; I play along with it and keep seeing new targets….landing spots. One Q
when to give up the old chord and move to the next
Start with changing at the bar line. Be Strict. Then you can loosen it up.

Hey I want to go to school for jazz just not a really big school any suggestions
Look for a school that has a teacher you want to study with. Find out where Jeremy Siskind teaches, he's really good.

I thought I was the only one that could not repeat the same solo twice.
