Thanks again and I’ll let you know in the future of any improvement I might think, unless you don’t want me to ! ehehįirstly, it’s not a rudimentary question… in fact it’s one of the trickiest concepts for beginners to understand.Ĭheck out this forum post which should answer all of your questions: I had watched the rootless video first and i’m pretty good in theory in general and I still wish I would of have the sheet just to save time □ Just thought I’d share this tips from one teacher to another. To increase the retention of information, the same message needs to be heard, seen, visualised a lot of different ways !!! Although he manages to figure it out, cuz he’s smart and understands, well, maby he’ll have “lost” 5min thinking and only do 20 repetition instead of only “1min of brain” WITH HELP and 50 repetition for the same 10 min.Īnyway, since i’ve applied this concept in my teaching, content and material, I’ve doubled my amount of students and smile on faces. Hey let’s face it : learning a new instruments/style is fun but it takes effort and dedication.īetter make their lives as easy as possible.įor example, think of a students who only have 10min to practise his muscle memory at the instrument (chords/voicing/Blues scale, whatever) but needs to think/calculate/figure out stuff (what notes to play) with NO HELP. Yet, i’m also a teacher (guitar) and I’ve realised that : People ARE lazy/busy, don’t have much time to practise. In my case, my piano is at 1m from desktop but facing another direction so even just having to turn around and strech my arm is a pain in the ***. I’ve thought using my android tablet but the website or videos are not fully optimised so pressing play/pause often doesnt stop the video □ Having the “complete sheetmusic” with proper fingerings/notes then comes really handy to avoid switching back and forth to computer and piano, press pause on each chords, etc. A) Watch the video and understand the concepts B) move over and work on said concepts either section by section or the complete lesson on one go. Hi Hayden, thanks for the quick reply and the suggestions regarding other lessons and the video manipulation.ġ) For the video, here’s how I think most people would use it (especially the ones where the Piano is not near computer). We will start by exploring the importance of chord tones, and how they are an essential element of your improvised lines. In the next lessons we are going to delve straight into blues improvisation and so our left hand needs to have its act together. The jazz blues progression has been used as a template for some of the greatest tunes in jazz history so by understanding and memorizing this progression, you will also have learnt the blueprint for a good number of very common jazz standards. If you are at a jazz jam night and someone calls the “blues in F”, this is the chord sequence or chord progression that will be played for the 12 bars. In this lesson, we will cover what is commonly accepted as the jazz blues form. Whilst the basic 12 bar blues just contains 3 chords, the I, the IV and the V, the jazz blues also incorporates the most common progression in jazz music… the 251 progression. Now that you have a good understanding of basic blues form, it’s time to enhance it to create the more interesting and sophisticated jazz blues progression.
