    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Many people think that if they only knew a few more scales, arpeggios or licks, if they could only play a little bit faster... they could improvise great solos.
    But that is not the truth.
    There are people who can play many notes and many licks, and who can play very fast, but whose solos are still boring. And there are some people who play slowly and don’t use a lot of notes, but who play very melodic, interesting and inspiring solos.
    The truth is that you can play beautiful solos with only ONE note for each chord. You just need to use some of the creative elements that I’ll be sharing with you in this lesson.
    When you can play creative and melodic solos with ONE note per chord, you're more likely to play beautifully when adding more elements. Because the less you think about WHAT to play, the more room you have to think about how to be creative.
    In this lesson, I demonstrate over the Minor Blues chord progression, but you can implement this idea with any song.

    "...To find different ways to express the ONE note" 


    I think that's a beautiful and brilliant way to see and approach it.
    

It's easier having a clear aim in mind (or ear) to find a way to get there, instead of tensed focussing on a creative way without having a clear aim in mind. If you know where to end, the way there will become naturally more play- and joyful, both as a player and listener.

Thanks much for sharing Yaakov!

    I'm wondering if this awesome lesson could be extended to other target notes like the third or the seventh of each cords...

    • @GypsyAndJazz
      @GypsyAndJazz  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Choose one of the chord tones for each chord and stick with it. First, just go through the process I show here with the notes I chose, then choose your own and try other songs.

  • @tedandersen977

    Does anyone knows which note this would translate to if it was major blues?

    • @GypsyAndJazz
      @GypsyAndJazz  Před 2 lety +1

      This was an explanation of the concept using Django Reinhardt's composition, Minor Blues, since it's familiar to so many guitar players. Of course, you can apply it to any song. Play around with it, Old Mate!
