We explore 2 chromatic lines that work beautifully over the 3625 progression. Apply this technique to any tune that you are working on.

In this lesson we create interesting colours and tensions in our improvisations by targeting isolating the individual chord alterations.

We start with single alterations, then double alterations, then we will explore a versatile altered arpeggio run to use on dominant chords.

We will combine arpeggios runs and arpeggio patterns with chord tones and approach patterns that we have explored in the previous lessons.

We explore how we can simply rearrange and rephrase the notes of the melody to create a structure and framework around which we improvise.

We create diatonic & chromatic approach patterns to help us to visualise the 7th as a strong landing point when improvising.

Chord tones are ideal ‘landing places’ to finish our improvised phrases and are useful ‘resting points’ to allow our improvisations to breath.

In this lesson we will learn how to embellish the turnaround sections with extensions, echoing, inner voices, USTs, arpeggios, & Sus chords.

We explore techniques to transition from the 2nd A section into the Bridge and voicing options for the B Section harmony.

We create a bigger and more powerful sounding arrangement by playing the right hand melody in octaves above a stride left hand style.
