![]() This series of lessons will further elaborate on this general idea or framework and will give numerous Jazz Improvisation Techniques which you can employ in your own solos. You build 'tension' by playing 'wrong' notes (playing 'outside'), and you resolve or 'release' that tension by playing 'right' notes (playing 'inside'). The overarching idea behind Jazz Improvisation is that of 'Tension' and 'Release'. Jazz Improvisation is a skill that can be learned, and contrary to the name, improvisation actually requires a lot of planning and practicing. Jazz Improvisation is the act of spontaneously creating melody lines (usually over a given chord progression) - that is, making a melody up on the spot. ![]() ![]() Now that we have learned some Jazz Scales and discovered how scales are related to chords, it's time to discuss how these concepts apply to Jazz Improvisation. We have already discussed the Theory aspect (Jazz Chords and Jazz Scales) so it's time to discuss how to apply the theory in Practice (with Jazz Chord Voicings and Jazz Improvisation). To facilitate my teaching, I have further subdivided the above two facets of Jazz into Theory and Practice components.
