Play with me and switch between IMPROVISATION and COMPING!
AUTUMN LEAVES is one of the most popular jazz standards, and we are going to be jamming together on it as if we were in a live situation!!
You can DOWNLOAD my transcription of the theme here:
www.pietroball...
I suggest you memorize the melody and the chord progression.
We can start with you playing the theme and me playing the chords, then you take the first chorus of solo.
After that we switch, you comp and I solo, and we are going to IMPROVISE for two choruses each.
At the end you can play the theme again one more time, repeating the last phrase 3 times as a CODA.
VERY IMPORTANT: pay close attention to the drums, especially when you are comping and I'm soloing, because that's going to be your main reference for the rhythm and for the structure.
This the the most important exercise: always LISTEN!
IMPROVISATION TIPS
Depending on your level, you can simply use a Bb major scale and a Gm pentatonic, or add more complex sounds.
For example I'm often using ARPEGGIOS, to try to build melodic lines that outline the chord tones, and a G harmonic minor scale or a D superlocrian scale every time there is a D7, to try to emphasize its tension and its function of dominant of the minor key.
COMPING
Choose the style you prefer! From simple straight chords played in quarter notes, to the use of some seventh chords inversions, or extensions. Until the use of the walking bass + chords technique, if you already know how to do that (I am planning to cover this very interesting topic in the future in the lessons of my guitar course).
This interactive play along is best for guitar, piano, bass, vibes, or any other harmonic instrument... But it can also be used by saxophone or trumpet players, clarinet etc. Horns players: you should play a counterpoint line when I'm soloing!

Love this channel. Very helpful. Can you do Sunny, please?

[@Pietrosguitarphilosophy]

@@khalilhabib9607 Thank you! I surely will!!

[@Pietrosguitarphilosophy]

@@khalilhabib9607 Hi Khalil, here I am! I've recorded 3 different versions of Sunny!! Just posted the first one, played on a latin style rhythm. The following ones are a little more difficult, I played them on funky rhythms, more like the version in the short I posted some time ago... They are also going to be a lot of fun, with some 16th notes in the phrasing...
So enjoy and warm up with this 1st one now, and stay tuned for the others... coming out soon!
Thanks for playing with me!!
