The Cure for Over-Playing In A Jazz Solo?
why have you put the chords in concert pitch for a trumpeter to play along with?
Nice thanks Jason. Have you ever considered enabling the thanks button on your channel? I find it a quick way to support videos like this
To be honest - I didn't realize this was an option until you mentioned it. It's turned on...thank you!
Newbie here with jazz improv. Super helpful tips that I will keep in mind, even though some are still far beyond me.
We are all (or at least should be) still learning. Be patient and grow at the pace that allows you to retain.
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???
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!
Hi, great video! what's a good guitar pedal for cumbia trumpets? thanks in advance!
That’s a good question. I am a believer of using effects as a sparingly used compliment to the sound and need of the music. What would you want to accomplish with it? Start there.
Those lines are so so tasty!!😊
Glad to serve them!
Great Information!
Thanks for watching!
Merci beaucoup 🎺
You are welcome - thank you for watching 🙏
Hi Jason. I am a french trumpeter. Do you give lessons ?
@@roger6145 Hi Roger - I do teach lessons, but my schedule is full right now. There is always a possibility later on down the road, though.
A music tutorial with random background music 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
99% of my videos have background music which isn't playing when a music example is. It's ok if you don't like it. Thanks for checking it out anyways.
@@JasonKlobnakMusicIncSo this seems to be the 1%-video where you play licks over a background music that has nothing to do with your licks. If this is a question of liking it or not ... 😢
@@bernhardtmitdt2586 🤷♂
Nice
🙏
Thank you, very helpful
Glad to hear 🙏
Blah blah more 😂😂😂
?
super helpful--thank you!
🙏
That is a great lesson
Thank you
I love the concept of using these patterns as starting points for improvising. Very good lesson. Thanks!
I agree - thanks for checking out the video!
Well they sounded OK though all were just simple ascending lines. You might get more interesting results with just a random number generator to find you permutations of the pentatonic scale. It was interesting that ChatGPT chose some notes that weren't even in the scale.
Granted this was from quite a while ago (considering how fast A.I. makes updates, changes and improvements). It's very possible that if we were to run the same prompt...or a more comprehensive prompt, that it might give us a different outcome now.
@@JasonKlobnakMusicInc I just discovered Udio - it's an AI for generating music and it's quite scary how good it is.
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.
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.
Have muppets started teaching jazz on UA-cam? I feel like this dude is related to Bert and Earnie.
If I start busting out the Sesame Street theme on the trumpet, you'll know for sure!
You don’t even know how you just saved my life 🙏🙏🙏
Happy to help!
The 4th be feeling so lonely 🥲 Thanks for the video! I find it very helpful since I always strugle with my solos!
I ❤the 4th when it's used appropriately!
« hold on guys, stick to that chord for the next 6:30 mn so I can figure out this one killer lick »
I've hit the rewind button on LOTS of songs and videos 😀
BRO THANK YOU I GOTTA IMPROV A 16 BAR SOLO IN LIKE 4 DAYS AND WAS PANICKING. Eternally grateful, thank you
Thank you - I hope this helps you on your solo. Good luck!
im a newes trumpet player on jazz, and im eternal lly grateful with you
Happy to share - please feel free to check out some of the other videos too!
HOLY CRAP IT CLICKED THANK YOU SO MUCH
Happy to hear - thank you for checking it out!
Hi I’m 66 years old. Started playing trumpet 6 years ago. Love your videos. How can I get your books/ videos with notes. I live in Israel and have my own jazz band but I am very poor in improvisation
My website for all of my books, etc is at jazztargeting.com
The colour of your skin is eerily similar to that of your shirt. Should've checked the white balance
Ok...
Bro his channel has like 200x more subs than your
@@alexjensen2813That's what makes the mistake so surprising. I would've expected more from a youtuber 200x bigger than me
@@aleksjenner677 1 subscriber or 1 million subscribers. Still human beings that make 'mistakes.' This isn't my full-time gig - just making videos to help people. Thanks for checking it out either way.
@@JasonKlobnakMusicInc I was clapping back to @alexjensen2813 reply suggesting that my comment should be disregarded due to low subscriber numbers. If that argument is taken further, then high subscriber numbers must mean total credibility. I used irony to make the point that his argument is total BS. Of course people make mistakes, but pointing out and identifying those mistakes is the first step in learning how to avoid them.
Not too sure I like this one 🤷♂️👎🤪🕺🎶

Hey jason. How long did it took you to break in from AC to Heritage? Thank you
For me, it only took a day or so. I was playing a lot during that transition period so the change was quick.
what’s the best pedal to give a good 1 octave up sound on trumpet played through a microphone?
I don't think there's a pedal that gives an authentic 1 octave up sound out there. But, the one I use and think is the best for that would be the Pitchfork.
Do I not swing the 8th notes?
You can swing the 8th, but I'm a believer that swing is an aural illusion. I find my swing is harder/better when I straighten my 8th notes out and make each of them 'fatter.'
Hey man fantastic video
Thank you so much!
Jason, these lessons are so well planned, making them very clear. I’m learning a lot about targeting, which is not mentioned in other instructional mediums. At least for me, this is such an essential concept for someone learning to improvise better. It provides me with a map. Improvising is like launching into the unknown. It sure helps to have a map!
I love to hear that - thank you for checking it out!
Autumn Leaves is pretty easy but what a song like Desafinado?
For progressions that are a little less cyclical the concept still applies.
I love this ❤is possible for us to connect
What do you mean by “and landing on target notes”?
Check out some of my other videos on targeting. It's a big part of my concept on improvisation.
4 years, 119 views, 6 likes, 0 comments. Wow. Content and presentation is all good so not sure why.
Some get views and responses and some don't 🤷♂

Great video! Looking to do something similar with other recognizable quotes. This "nana nana boo boo" is also the same melody as "a tisket, a tasket" right?
Yes, that is correct!
An so my time has come to excel on the trombone😈😈😈 Thank you very much so kindly.
The concept works for any instrument 😁

Great concept, and great playing. Thank you, will practice this way!
I hope it adds some value and benefit to your playing in some way!
hair is looking good my man! Great content!
Haha - thank you!
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.
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!
Sonaaa!
This is great.
🙏
Well shoot this is pretty sweet
Thank you for taking some time out of your day to check it out!
6..5...? Trumpet only has 3 valves
Yes, the trumpet only has three valves (and yet can play all the notes 😁). The numbers represent scale degrees as explained in the video...
I know that still cant understand the numbers
@@soioioioioioio34 Here you go: In the key of C (a C Major Scale): C = 1, D = 2, E = 3, F = 4, G = 5, A = 6, B = 7, C an octave higher is 8 or 1 again depending on the pattern. The numbers represent the scale. The pattern represents the shape that you can then transpose into other keys.
Yo, I need help on playing 16th notes I just can’t get the right tonguing with it and I can’t play it like it is played
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.
As you play over the blues are you changing key with the chords or is everything approached as Bb is 1. I'm confused
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!
