💡 Stop Memorizing Scales. Start Improvising!

When it comes to learning jazz improvisation, it’s easy to overcomplicate things. Scales, modes, arpeggios, patterns—it can get overwhelming fast.

In this week's video, I walk you through a step-by-step process to start improvising using just chord tones (1, 3, 5, 7). This approach is simple, musical, and incredibly effective.

Why start with chord tones?

• They spell out the harmony 
• They give you less to think about while playing
• They force rhythmic creativity 
• They help you hear resolutions between chords more clearly

If you’re looking for a grounded, no-BS way to gain more fluency while improvising, this video is a great place to begin—or return to, no matter your level.
