Really nice condensed ‘how to improvise’ lesson here with some brilliant tips, standard stuff plus a little of your own personal approach but not so much there’s any danger of turning your channel into a a school of Chris Haig impersonators. Working from easy to hard (maybe you could have started with pentatonic as the simplest but then as a squeezeboxer myself maybe more violinists are familiar with scales). I always think of the climbdown at the end of the penultimate line as being a brief excursion into the key of C major before the final cadence takes you back into the home key of E minor. The chords Em E♭7 Dm D♭7 C could be thought of as a I VI II V turnaround in C major as they are all substitutes for those chords, III ♭III II ♭II I in C.
thank you I have wondered about these things for years
Speechless what you have done..very clearly and easy to understand..you are the best teacher
Your comment saved my life.
I couldn't agree more! &Thank you so much, Chris 🥰💝🙏
Hey Chris! Great to see you here! I had a couple of lessons with you in London ... about two decades ago! Gosh time flies!

Thanks Matt. The C major idea is an interesting one, and I'll give it a go!
Good
Very talented but I just don’t get jazz!
I have never heard any jazz that floats my boat, I have a friend who plays lots of jazz but he can’t sell it to me. I admire the players.
Cool, jazz isn’t for you.
