Prepared to improve your jazz improvisation skills for the piano? A lot more merely, if you're playing a song that remains in swing time, after that you're currently playing to a triplet feel (you're picturing that each beat is separated into three 8th note triplets - and every off-beat you play is postponed and used the 3rd triplet note (so you're not also playing two equally spaced eighth notes to start with).
So instead of playing two 8 notes in a row, which would last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can split that quarter note into three 'eighth note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet is the same size. The very first improvisation strategy is 'chord tone soloing', which indicates to compose tunes using the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).
I typically play natural 9ths over the majority of chords - consisting of all 3 chords of the significant ii-V-I. This 'chordal texture' seems best if you play your right hand noisally, and left hand (chord) a little bit more quiet - to make sure that the listener listens to the melody note ahead.
Simply come before any kind of chord tone by playing the note a half-step listed below. To do this, walk up in half-steps (via the entire chromatic scale), and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current scale. Cm7 expression (7 9 3 5) with single tune note (C) played to intriguing rhythm.
Currently you could play this 5 note scale (the wrong notes) over the exact same C small 7 chord in your left hand. With this method you simply play the exact same notes that you're currently playing in the chord. Chord range above - half-step listed below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).
Many jazz piano solos include an area where the tune quits, and Bookmarks the pianist plays a series of chord expressions, to an interesting rhythm. These include chord tone soloing, approach patterns, triplet rhythms, 'chordal textures', 'playing out' and a lot more.
