I have been working on this for the last few weeks and I think this could be the solution if you want that bebop jazz sound you've been searching for without any luck. I'm opening the door for you, wide open and you only have to walk through it!

I just made a quick backing track of the Miles Davis song "Tune Up". It's basically a bunch of 251's in a row and thus ideal to practice these phrases. Find it here: • Tune Up - Gypsy Jazz B...

Really valuable video and quality pdf material in my quest to learn Gypsy Jazz. I love the way you are so laid back and not rushed or phased making these live streams. Big thanks Christiaan.
You're welcome Stephen and many thanks for supporting me on Patreon!
I've been ashamed so much time for being unable of developing lines from scales an theory exercises, but like you other great teachers (Conti, Stefani,...) stress the importance of lines. Thank you very much.
You're welcome Sergio. Don't give up! If you follow the path I'm presenting in this and the next streams you can sound good faster than you might think!
Great comment-I also have followed that scales and Arpeggios approach and never developed lines like many other great players-thanks
😂Christiaan, nice material but I suspect I'm not the only viewer that is far more interested in your impeccably clean TRIPLET based improvised runs than in the written 8th note examples.
👍👍Keep up the great videos!
Thanks! I really think that being able to play strong and swinging 8th note lines that are not just noodling scales and/or modes is the basis for excellency in jazz improv. The triplet lines come after but if you're interested in that I got you covered. Almost all of my triplet lines are based on the lines in these three videos: czcams.com/video/aqmJ7WGDJv0/video.html - czcams.com/video/nVaykxPQiGo/video.html and czcams.com/video/D8aq5vfaj7E/video.html
Excellent, as always
Thanks James!
You're giving a bunch of 2-5s but what is the system exactly ? no offense man, great content nonetheless.
Thanks. First of all: my philosophy for learning improv fast and easily is studying great lines. That's all I ever did, no scales, no arpeggios, no patterns or any other theoretical device, just great lines. The "system" is that all the lines are grouped in 5 groups or so and each line in a group starts on one of three strings and with the first or second finger on one of the chord tones of the 2 chord. This will make memorizing the individual lines much easier and because they all start in similar ways on only thee strings, also easy to connect during improv!
@@ChristiaanvanHemert great answer man, I viewed your other videos on your system and it makes sense.
okay so I've watched some of your videos and from what I gather (cause im single track minded and i don't do well with anything but the point. I had to skip around alot your videos (and just about anyone's) video becasue I only want to hear the point.
I'm always confused with soloing because I have to rely on myself to create a line and that terrifies me becasue whenever I create something I never trust it if you know what i mean like it's not good enough. I only search for the best players on google and follow them becasue of their title genius so if I learned their pieces, I would have learned something of very high quality, say for example like bach. which is kinda like path 2.
iduuno time for my pointbefore that i want to ask this, how do you choose notes and which strings to play lines on over a chord? you would play a line and you would say that it's based on this chord then you play the chord. but I don't understand how you play a line based off of a chord.
so based off your videos and my understanding is that you use positions. which is helpful becasue you can figure out which position or scale degree your line starts then you start playing it and you can shift it horizontally up and down and the intervals woundn't change
that's the major difference between the piano and guitar. it's easy to transpose.
but the problem now is now I know about playing one shape in one position and one chord.
how does one improvise with shapes that fits in when the chord changes? I mean I could play the same exact shapes like I could play line 1 on chord one the third position of the key G on the sixth going on to the 4th chord except I can choose to play line 1 on the 5th position of the 4 chord which is c major instead of the third position.
but it might not necessarily sound right right?
but I guess you have to learn many licks in each position in each common chord progressions then after having all those in your mind then you can start creating lines
well i mean knowing no theory chances are your just going to spam different shapes once your learned them and seeing what sounds good. like trial and error
Hi Sprenzy, I copy/pasted this answer from another video on which commented: "...Hi Sprenzy, I'd recommend finding a good teacher who focuses on piano. My videos are really geared towards guitar players and the intricacies of that specific instrument in jazz improv!...
