All set to improve your jazz improvisation abilities for the piano? A lot more merely, if you're playing a track that's in swing time, then you're already playing to a triplet feel (you're imagining that each beat is divided into three eighth note triplets - and every off-beat you play is delayed and used the 3rd triplet note (so you're not even playing two uniformly spaced eighth notes to begin with).
So instead of playing 2 eight notes in a row, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can separate that quarter note right into 3 'eighth note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same length. The initial improvisation method is 'chord tone soloing', which indicates to make up tunes using the 4 chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
I typically play natural 9ths above a lot of chords - including all 3 chords of the major ii-V-I. This 'chordal structure' appears ideal if you play your right hand Bookmarks loudly, and left hand (chord) a bit more quiet - so that the listener hears the melody note on top.
Simply come before any chord tone by playing the note a half-step listed below. To do this, stroll up in half-steps (with the whole colorful scale), and make note of all the notes that aren't in your present range. Cm7 enunciation (7 9 3 5) with single melody note (C) played to interesting rhythm.
Jazz musicians will play from a wide range of pre-written melodious forms, which are positioned prior to a 'target note' (normally a chord tone, 1 3 5 7). Initially allow's establish the 'right notes' - generally I 'd play from the dorian range over small 7 chord.
Most jazz piano solos include an area where the melody quits, and the pianist plays a collection of chord voicings, to a fascinating rhythm. These consist of chord tone soloing, technique patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal appearances', 'playing out' and more.
