When it pertains to coming to be a terrific jazz improviser, it's everything about learning jazz language. So unlike the 'half-step listed below strategy' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from above it seems far better when you keep your notes within the scale that you're in. That's why it's called the 'chord range over' method - it remains in the range.

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

I usually play all-natural 9ths above many chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal appearance' sounds best if you play your right-hand man loudly, and left hand (chord) a bit quieter - to make sure that the listener hears the melody note ahead.

It's fine for these rooms to find out of scale, as long as they end up settling to the 'target note' - which will normally be just one of the chord tones. The 'chord scale over' technique - precede any chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note over. In music, a 'triplet' is when you play 3 uniformly spaced notes in the area of 2.

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

KEEP IN MIND: You also get a great collection of actions to play, Bookmarks from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you want to play a short range in your solo. Nevertheless, to stop your playing from sounding predictable (and burst out of 8th note pattern), you need to differ the rhythms now and then.
