OMG. Nick - This is life changing. I feel like you just unlocked the door. Thank you so much for this. I now know how to practice over blues chord progressions, and how to really think about improvising. Much appreciated. Thanks!

Very good approach to teach improvisation . I just picked up a trumpet last month while visiting in China, and just began to playing the instrument at 64 year. I wish I started earlier in life. But, there is a saying, " It is never too late"

Good luck and have fun with it. The trumpet has been kicking me along for 50 years. Ask some jazz player to tell you what Dizzy Gillespie said about the trumpet. Priceless!

It took me more than 20 years to "ear" and play that way !!!!!!!! Listening Bird and A.Holdsworth helped me a lot to "build" my inner ear and I feel "free" now from learning modes, licks etc...in my own way, I have no fear now of playing "wrong" notes which i realize today are not "wrong" but just a different manner of "talking" when playing. Searching is accepting to be "wrong" for there is no "right" way, playing music is complete Freedom. Thanks for this very high didactic vidéo

@@JazzDuets Great lesson, really appreciate it! I have a question, though: is it necessary for the chord notes to fall on downbeats and the approach notes be syncopated, in order to achieve that bebop sound? (Not entirely sure I got the terminology correct)

Wow this jusy made me realize how to get that jazzy sound its not so much about arpeggios and scales but how you approach them . i can imagine you can build patterns as a tool to approaching chord tones.....OHHHHH MAN. This is why every time i play single notes i struggle to not sound like an exercise.
