QUOTE (Pedja Simovic @ Dec 17 2008, 08:57 PM)  Superize work on Repetition, Motive development, Time feel, Phrasing, Sequence and melodic choice in your solos. Also it is very important that each solo has a meaning to it, in a way telling its own story , and every story has intro development and ending - so you should focus on that as well. Thanks for the tips Pedja and Matt -------------------- My Gear

The next big step superize is to learn the chords mate. Check out Andrew's lessons, and see how chords are derived from modes. This should get you a clear overview what harmony is about, and how to improvise better over given chord progression.

Not at all mate, the good starting point is with chord basics. Since we have 12 keys, learning the cord progression in all of them is a good starting point. Since every key has 7 notes, and builds 7 chords, then it is not too difficult to learn it by heart. This doesn't happen overnight of course, but in some time a good understanding of the chord sequences should be obtained.
For example a good way to start is from C major scale: C major D minor E minor F major G major A minor B dim The chords in G major are: G major A minor B minor C major D major E minor F# bim and so on. By knowing the chord progressions, you can easily determine in what key you are in, and what notes to use in your playing. i should say that there's a difference in knowing the concept of these rules, and knowing them all by heart. It is good to really learn everything thoroughly cause then the player can focus on other important aspects of playing instead of thinking what note to press where and why. This skill is achieved through practice and I recommend combination of learning the chords progressions in all keys straight from the paper and playing then as exercises. After a while of learning them, and playing them, brain develops a skill to recognize chords. This process becomes a background process, so the focus can be on the playing, and playing should sound much better when we know what is the backtrack harmony. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
