Rhythm Changes Improvisation - Vol. 1

In this part 1 of 2, we will cover different exercises that you can use to build up your improvisation over rhythm changes. We will also cover left-hand chord structures and how to play at uptempo speeds. Part 2 will cover applications over bass or chordal patterns and how to improvise over these changes in a group or solo piano situation.

LESSON COLLECTION DETAILS

Rhythm Changes

In this collection we are going to cover 8 variations of the classic chord progression Rhythm Changes. This progression is an important ‘right of passage’ for any jazz musician. It is also a great progression to work through re-harmonization and improvisation. We will learn the various chord progressions and basslines. New ways of expanding rhythm changes, outside changes, back-cycling, tri-tone substitutions, improvisation and more will also be covered!
