It can be helpful at times to analyze jazz language and understand its characteristics. One common characteristic is jazz is the use of chromaticism.
In this lesson, I go over 5 lick examples where I gradually add chromaticism and demonstrate how you can start effectively using chromaticism too!

Thanks for sharing your jazz knowledge, i’m wondering if you already made a video about enclosures.

Dangit, I think this finally answers the question I asked my guitar teacher (a very good jazz player) many, many years ago about what "that sound" was I heard in jazz, and I don't think I ever got a straight answer. One word answer, chromaticism. Ever since, whenever I have (weakly) attempted jazz playing I have always had to fake it by ear by trying to emulate that sound, but never understood what that sound was. (I got to this video after leapfrogging from a few other YT videos.) Thanks.

The problem with lessons like this is that they don’t teach how to add chromatic to your improvising. Analysing a simple progression, playing diatonic scales and adding notes in the spaces... all step by step and outside a musical situation doesn’t teach much about being able to play cool and interesting melodies over changes.

I like your method and you are an interesting teacher. But for somebody who doesn't read music like me your stuff is difficult to follow. I'm sure a lot of beginners to jazz are lost here because they can't listen and read music At the same time. Presenting the notes in a different way would be helpful
