None of this covers note selections, which beyond the normal scales and rules, seems to confound me when improvising at high speed. I cannot switch between scale patterns in my head that fast ( giant steps I'm looking at you), so I end up just letting my hand go and sounds come out. I even out the accidentals and there you go, improve. I do not think I am doing it right, in fact,, I know I am not. I just don't know the right questions to ask I guess.

Im a beginner too but I figured it's all about vocabulary, I stopped learning "jazz scales" and only use them for warming up or exercise. I started listening a lot and with concentration, and learning to sing solos and learning them on my instrument. If you practice enough and only by playing what you hear and slowly increase the speed (across a few months let's say) it's gonna work. Again, I'm a beginner this is just my experience. Speed comes way later, at this stage we should concentrate on playing what we hear in our heads cleanly, with good time feel.

@@GrumpyStormtrooper It's a year later, things have changed. I can intentionally choose notes based on ear training and motor memory. Giant steps doesn't bother me, not much does in fact. Still working on high energy stuff, but that too is coming. I practice three hours a day, I hope that is enough.

@@GrumpyStormtrooper I'll keep it in memory! The universe is a crazy place! Practice, practice, practice is the key. Wake up with it in your hands, go to sleep thinking of patterns and intervals. Keep it near your keyboard and pick it up and play something hourly. This leads to improvement in every case I have seen, even for me!

He can play the sax good. Ask him how does he play the chromatic scale super fast?

@benvizemusic 3 жыл бұрын

Practice it veeeery slow (as well as all other scales!) and with a metronome. 40 bpm is perfect for this. Keep this as a daily warmup exercise. No need to play it 'as fast as you can'. The speed will come once you practice it enough at very slow tempos!
