#4 – Targeting (7th to the 3rd)

In this lesson you'll learn how to target your guide tones (3rd and 7th) to create a more cohesive solo.

LESSON COLLECTION DETAILS

Summer Piano Jam - Advanced Jazz & Blues

In the advanced course, we turn our attention to improvisation over Jazz standards, specifically the tune Beautiful Love. I'll teach you how to improvise over this beautiful standard by beginning with rootless voicings. Next, we will learn the scales that go with each chord and we will build a solo using scales and arpeggios. The secret to a good sounding solo though is targeting notes. Without targeting, your solo will sound 'wandering' and lost. Through targeting, neighbor tones and approaches, we will make your soloing sound pro-level in just a few weeks!
