Ever wonder how that guitarist nailed that solo or how your favorite rapper can roll out so many lyrics while making it look easy? Beside lots of practice, your brain has a few tricks.

I'm a classical musician, and I've asked many Jazz musicians about how they improvise. It's a whole lot of practice, to the point where everything is muscle-memory in performance. They work on all their scales and arpeggios all the time, and practice moving between different chord progressions. Some players memorize the exact passages played in recordings by the great players of the past. The best improvisers that I know have told me that a lot of thought goes into practice, and in performance they just let the muscle-memory take over. So the answer is always PRACTICE

@@beefling5390 Learning scales and every chord is a start. Look up some good chord progressions you like and just try to string together any melody you can. hitting the plain chords with a steady rhythm with the left hand. sometimes you gotta work at one chord progression for a long time until you can figure out how to properly move a melody around it. if you can manage that, try playing the left hand differently. arpeggiate the chords. try to swing the bass note. theres a lot you can do with basic chord progressions. for more complex improv, learn some songs just above your skill level and work backwards to simplify the music to understand whats going on at its core. after a lot of practice you'll be able to think a lot less about everything and just let everything flow. there will be a point where you wont just be using chord progression but hitting what you need within the context the music you're trying to let out. biggest thing though is to never stop, keep playing.

Love ER Just learn how to sound good in any pitch and sound and than combine those together in a way that you create. To do this, get classes or learn online with an instrument of choice and then just play a nice rhythm. Even if it is really bad or really unoriginal at first, eventually like all things you will understand the underlying mechanisms and learn to manipulate them free of most concern.

I could never catch a ball or even a frisbee until a friend told me he was going to toss me some beanbags and I shouldn't try to catch them. "Just watch them," he said. "Keep your eye on them. But don't catch them." To my astonishment, my hand reached out and snagged them without my even thinking about it. My LEFT hand. And I'm right handed. Now I'm experimenting with tunes I know on instruments I don't, and vice versa. If I try to figure out what I'm doing, forget it. If I don't think, but just listen, my ears and fingers get it much faster. They're self correcting in a way my Thinker isn't!

As an artist, I find this pretty illuminating and amusing how you could roughly say "this is where your inner critic is" on the brain map. But it makes a lot of sense, great improv happens when you basically do a trust fall back onto your technical mastery. With visual art, besides doodling or vent art, one way I get a lot out of this headspace... is drawing with my offhand. I think recognizing the level of dexterity is far less fine, makes it easier to go with it. I find something committal like pens (rather than pencil) are best for it - and I rather like the scribbliness!

When I do solo improv theatre (aka Fooling), during my best solos, I feel like I'm becoming just a spectator of my own actions. Maybe sometimes nudging or suggesting something to myself. But mostly just watching myself riffing off of my own actions and words and the audience's reaction. Pretty otherworldly experience.

I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist and I experience this all the time while writing songs. I get so deep into flow so often that for years I've known that before I get started, I HAVE to turn on my recording app. I know there's a huge chance I'll come up with something great that I absolutely love but won't remember it when I stop playing or even realize exactly what I've done. Once I stop going, I play back what I've recorded and pick out the best parts. Coming up with something at random and not having recorded it is incredibly frustrating because I know I'll probably never replicate it.

I’m glad you used music as a primary example here. My musical abilities have been both honed and devastated by classical training. :-) On the upside, it lets me understand why certain ... “formulas” for lack of a better term ... have meaningful effects to our audiences. It’s a powerful foundation, but *that’s not the actual music* . I think I need to rent out a drum set and start banging away; that might put the Theory into perspective! My first Music Theory and Ear Training instructor asked my class why we want to learn Music Theory. I was thinking like another student who replied “so that we can learn to compose music.” He promptly replied, “learning Music Theory does not help you compose music.” We were all mystified, so the instructor went on, “before you study Music Theory you’ll come to a point your composition and say, ‘I have no idea what to do here,’ whereas after you take Music Theory you come to that point and instead say, ‘there must be a thousand different things I could do here!’” Either way, the solution is not Theory, it’s creativity, feeling, and cleverness that makes meaningful composition happen!

A lifetime’s worth, for the masters.

This was known long before fMRI. I've been in classical music for over 20 years; here's the earliest statement I know of this knowledge, from John Cage if I'm not mistaken: "Do not analyze and create at the same time. They are two different processes." In undergrad, my teacher would tell the class that in the practice room is when we need to monitor and scrutinize, analyze and correct what we're doing. When we go on stage, we need to "forget everything" and just play. That's not the whole story, but it's true. Psychologists who specialize in coaching us for stage performance (ex: Dr. Noa Kageyama, who's on faculty at Juilliard and runs a really helpful blog on his site Bulletproof Musician) tell us that we also need to practice (in the practice room) "forgetting everything" as my undergrad teacher called it, playing with close to zero self-awareness the way we do on stage or else we'll just observe and criticize ourselves like we always do and the performance will suffer. (If we want to check for ourselves how we did, that's what recordings are for.)

Isn't this the same thing that happens for example when you're driving and you zone out and when you come to you realize that you've been driving as if on autopilot. You weren't thinking of driving and all the rules that come with it, you just drove. Or the same as playing a very difficult fast reaction skill-based game, where as long as you're thinking about what inputs and moves you want to perform you struggle, but as soon as you get in the mentioned flow state or 'the zone' it becomes second nature and you're able to clear difficult sections without even thinking about it.

I experience this in high tension situation in Rainbow Six Siege. I would predict that a very similar study could be performed on professional gamers and find similarities

You just need to have learned a lot of songs, then your brain knows many structures of notes and chords.

I thought it was like a "eureka moment"? You know, epiphanic inspiration. Maybe they suddenly made a deal with a leanan sidhe

I wonder if Hank slowed down his speech based on some studies or not. It seems that watching at 1.5x speed sounds like the old videos.

Do this sorta stuff when playing games. :P Like a hard boss where while you're not really trying that hard you do the best.

They put freestyle rappers in an fmri 😂 Can you just imagine Cassidy in a hospital gown, visible only from the hips down as the rest of him is in a giant magnet... and there's just volcano-hot bars echoing around the room?
