Prepared to enhance your jazz improvisation abilities for the piano? Much more just, if you're playing a track that's in swing time, after that you're already playing to a triplet feeling (you're visualizing that each beat is separated right into three eighth note triplets - and every off-beat you play is postponed and used the 3rd triplet note (so you're not even playing 2 equally spaced 8th notes to start with).

If you're playing in C dorian scale, the wrong notes (missing notes) will certainly be C# E F# G # B (or the notes of E significant pentatonic range). Half-step below - chord scale over - target note (e.g. C# - E - D). In this article I'll show you 6 improvisation strategies for jazz piano (or any type of instrument).

I usually play natural 9ths above a lot of chords - including all 3 chords of the significant ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' appears finest if you play your right hand loudly, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - so that the audience listens to the melody note on the top.

Merely come before any type of chord tone by playing the note a half-step listed below. To do this, stroll up in half-steps (via the entire colorful range), Bookmarks and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current range. Cm7 expression (7 9 3 5) with solitary melody note (C) played to intriguing rhythm.

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

A lot of jazz piano solos feature an area where the tune stops, and the pianist plays a series of chord voicings, to an intriguing rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, strategy patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal appearances', 'playing out' and extra.
