    Jason, Question about #3. Can you not use different numbers (pitches)such as "5-b5-4-6-3-2" (sol-bsol-fa-la-mi-re) in a 2nd step m7 chord (ex: Dm)? Also, doesn't it make more musical sense to use solfeggio syllables to reinforce the making/creating of melody so that the player HEARS the pitches???

    • @JasonKlobnakMusicInc
      @JasonKlobnakMusicInc 3 дні тому

      You absolutely can. It’s up to the individual and musical upbringing they have had or what makes the most sense. I know a lot of gospel musicians who would prefer the numbers of the key (and hear it that way best). Other musicians in other cultures use fixed Do in solfège, so using that can get tricky when attempting a “one size fits all” approach. What works best for you will be perfect for you and there’s nothing wrong with that!

    I used to play trumpet. Biggest issue I had with improvising was the fact that there were only three valves for 20+ notes. When it came to guitar and piano, where all of the notes are right in front of you. The scales became visible patterns that I could relate to much better than having to imagine the keyboard while improving of trumpet. This is all different from your angle here-which is phrasing, but in the trumpet I couldn’t even get that far because of the lack of visual representation of the notes.

    • @JasonKlobnakMusicInc
      @JasonKlobnakMusicInc Місяць тому

      Some instruments provide an easier visual layout than others (piano/guitar for example). The concept I try to teach with improvisation can be applicable to any instrument, though. But true, you have to get a grasp on the mechanics of the instrument you're trying to play first.

    The perfect lesson, Jason, for me where I am currently at. Thank you! It will help me get out of this funk of being disenchanted with my playing for months which has led to going days without playing at all. I have scoffed at the idea of practicing patterns for years, thinking it would be impossible to think of them when improvising. I don't think much when improvising beyond where to start the next idea and which direction to go. I have been stuck thinking I'm not smart enough to think and improvise simultaneously like others appear to do. The saying, "Forget what you have learned," in the context of improvisation, has been a mystery to me, but finally, I realize patterns are for the shed. I'm telling myself to work them, in time and within a harmonic context, and trust they will eventually become part of what comes to me in the moment without much thought, like all the junk I play already!. The deliberate practice of patterns is the process of getting there.

    • @JasonKlobnakMusicInc

      Any honest musician will tell you that feeling of being in a funk is real, but it's also cyclical if you can outlast it. The joy of playing comes back again eventually. I've said in many of my videos I don't think about patterns or licks when I'm actually improvising. I truly think about rhythm and where and what the last note of my phrase is going to be. It keeps me on track. The pattern work, though, is stuff to work on in the shed. Keep at it!

      @JasonKlobnakMusicInc 6 місяців тому

      It's got a number of different names depending on who you talk with, but it's alternating tonguing and slurring every other note. I teach beginners to start with articulating the first two notes of a phrase and then alternate slurring. TTsTsTsTs, etc. (T = tongue/articulate and s = slur to the next note). This allows you to play faster phrases while having that Clifford Brown-eque attack.

    • @JasonKlobnakMusicInc
      @JasonKlobnakMusicInc 6 місяців тому

      It can be both. For beginners, I like to start them with the major pentatonic scale on the I chord and then change the natural 3 to a flat-3 when you go to the IV chord. You can do a lot with just that. But, as you grow you will want to add more. So the digital pattern changes based off of either the key you are in or the chord of the moment. I hope that helps!
