It's all regarding discovering jazz piano improvisation language when it comes to coming to be an excellent jazz improviser. So unlike the 'half-step listed below technique' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from over it appears far better when you keep your notes within the range that you're in. That's why it's called the 'chord scale above' technique - it stays in the scale.

If you're playing in C dorian scale, the wrong notes (absent notes) will certainly be C# E F# G # B (or the notes of E major pentatonic range). Half-step listed below - chord range above - target note (e.g. C# - E - D). In this post I'll reveal you 6 improvisation methods for jazz piano (or any kind of instrument).

I normally play all-natural 9ths over a lot of chords - including all 3 chords of the significant ii-V-I. This 'chordal appearance' seems ideal if you play your right hand noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - to ensure that the listener hears the melody note on the top.

It's great for these rooms to find out of range, as long as they wind up resolving to the 'target note' - which will normally be among the chord tones. The 'chord range over' strategy - precede any chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In songs, a 'triplet' is when you play three uniformly spaced notes in the area of 2.

Currently you can play this 5 note scale (the wrong notes) over the very same C small 7 chord in your left hand. With this strategy you just play the same notes that you're currently playing in the chord. Chord range over - half-step below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).

Many jazz piano solos include an area where the melody stops, and the pianist plays a collection of chord enunciations, to an intriguing rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, strategy patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal textures', 'playing out' and much more.
