The application of improvisational vocabulary is often taught in a way that is more abstract than it needs to be. Learning an idea in all 12 keys is GREAT practice, but a part that often gets overlooked and is of equal value is the application of that idea to a chord progression. In my 20 years of teaching the art of improvisation, I have yet to come across a method like the one outlined in this course. Ironically though, the skillsets offered here are ones that are regularly incorporated in live performances.
With slow and fast backing tracks for each of the 65+ playing examples as well as video explanations for each piece of vocabulary and it’s utilization over a corresponding chord progression, you are sure to glean many new insights on how to approach improvising on all different types of chord progressions after completing this course 🎶💡🚀
