01:16:00 exactly that's what I mean! It's funny because I played for an audience of 40 people at a birthday party. I had a planned pre composed solo for 6 choruses but at the start of the 5th chorus I messed up so I immediately improvised a chorus and then went back to the pre composed stuff at the beginning of the 6th chorus.
Like you said, it's a great life line but it's vital that you can fill in gaps with improvisation when you fail, which is very likely to happen. My pre composed solo contains the best phrases and licks that I've drilled 1000 times so I'm comfortable playing it but in a high pressure I failed and had to resort back to improvising my "lesser" phrases.
I'm also still a beginner so it's a great way to be able to play and feel comfortable because I know I can 100% play 3 minutes on a given standard. But like you said, improvisation skills are 100% necessary.
I love this video. Your revelations are exactly what no one else is saying. Thank you deeply. I'm now more comfortable knowing that where I am with 'jazz' is fine.
Howard Roberts advice was, You still MUST practice when away from your instrument, you do this by thinking of what you plan to do when away from the guitar. You think about the the chords, the choice notes like the 3rds, 5ths, 7ths, etc, and where and when you will execute them in certain songs you're working on. You think about things like which chords you will drop, or won't, which substitutions, you will use, and visualize the neck, the chords, which arpeggios. When playing in real time, if you're thinking, you're stinking.
Christian's given us SO MUCH valuable advice. He's broken EVERYTHING down, in ways that could NEVER be taught back in the day. ANYONE who takes in, absorbs and practices what he's taught, and puts in 6-8 hrs a day, if they have the time, and that a LOT of working hrs, they will be improvising GREAT lines, and flowing beautifully, in 3-4 yrs time. If they're like those young people, who have the time, and talent, it could even be less. This is based on a person being able to play guitar at an advanced level, like a good Rock, Blues, Metal player, etc.
Christian mentioned a a very good point, when you get to the level, when you can flow in real time, and notice that you've been playing the same lines too much, and you know that you can easily change it up, and that you have, many ideas left for chorus's to go around, you know you've arrived at the improv station. Or for instance, you know those triplet minor arpeggios that MANY people play in like minor swing, that in my opinion, they've become overplayed, and if one player played them already, YOU don't wanna play them in your solo , just because you can, I wouldn't play them after another player did?
Thx again for ALL you do and have done. Guys like You, Dennis, and Robyn, have literally made me able to play this genre now, and I'm going on yr 4 now.
Since Phrases are made up of small cells, if during your work at home you train yourself to develop cells more, and there are also many cells that are made up of a single note with various types of embellishments, analyzing and extrapolating how the phrases are written, you can instantly replicate the language by applying it to improvised notes rather than just learning long sentences that you can never place in a live situation because they are too complex to be memorized. It's just my opinion about being able to improvise... It's a great topic!
So meta! Love it
I'm all about the meta;)
Play what you hear Christiaan😂
