When it involves ending up being a wonderful jazz improviser, it's everything about learning jazz language. So unlike the 'half-step below method' (which can be outside the scale), when approaching from over it seems much better when you keep your notes within the scale that you're in. That's why it's called the 'chord scale over' strategy - it stays in the scale.

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

I typically play natural 9ths over most chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' sounds best if you play your right-hand man noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit quieter - to make sure that the listener hears the melody note on top.

It's fine for these units ahead out of range, as long as they end up fixing to the 'target note' - which will normally be just one of the chord tones. The 'chord range above' strategy - precede any kind of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note above. In songs, a 'triplet' is when you play three uniformly spaced notes in the room of 2.

Jazz artists will play from a wide array of pre-written melodious shapes, which are placed prior Bookmarks to a 'target note' (typically a chord tone, 1 3 5 7). Initially allow's establish the 'appropriate notes' - normally I would certainly play from the dorian range over minor 7 chord.

Many jazz piano solos include an area where the tune stops, and the pianist plays a series of chord enunciations, to a fascinating rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, method patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal textures', 'playing out' and more.
