It's all about learning jazz language when it comes to ending up being a wonderful jazz improviser. So unlike the 'half-step below method' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from above it appears better when you keep your notes within the scale that you're in. That's why it's called the 'chord range over' strategy - it remains in the range.
So rather than playing 2 8 notes in a row, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can separate that quarter note into three '8th note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same length. The very first improvisation strategy is 'chord tone soloing', which indicates to compose tunes making use of the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
For this to work, it needs to be the following note up within the range that the music remains in. This provides you 5 notes to play from over each chord (1 3 5 7 9) - which is plenty. This can be applied to any type of note size (half note, quarter note, 8th note) - yet when soloing, it's normally applied to eighth notes.
Merely come before any chord tone by playing the note a half-step below. To do this, stroll up in half-steps (via the whole chromatic range), Bookmarks and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current scale. Cm7 expression (7 9 3 5) with solitary tune note (C) played to interesting rhythm.
Jazz artists will play from a wide variety of pre-written ariose forms, which are put before a 'target note' (usually a chord tone, 1 3 5 7). Initially let's establish the 'proper notes' - typically I would certainly play from the dorian scale over small 7 chord.
The majority of jazz piano solos feature a section where the tune quits, and the pianist plays a series of chord enunciations, to an interesting rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, technique patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal textures', 'playing out' and a lot more.
