This is a great lesson for a beginner improviser (1-3 years of improvising experience) that needs help with the standard Impressions by John Coltrane.<\/p>\n
In this lesson, I teach you some of the things that I wished someone had taught me when I was younger about playing over this modal tune.<\/p>\n
Topics such as:<\/p>\n
-the best way to think about the form<\/p>\n
-playing in 2 and 4 bar phrases to make it easier to keep your place<\/p>\n
-using the dorian modes and blues scales while improvising<\/p>\n
-resolving your lines to the home notes<\/p>\n
-using minor triad pairs while soloing<\/p>\n
This is an essential lesson for any of you who find yourselves getting lost on modal tunes and are not sure how to improvise over them. I play all the examples on the tenor saxophone although the principles can be applied to any instrument. (34 minute video)<\/p>\n
