Benny Green’s SECRET to TASTEFUL Soloing… It WORKS!

In this video I will go over Benny Green's solo on "Bellorosa," from These Are Soulful Days. I will break down various concepts from his improvisation and talk about some ways he keeps things straight forward and simple. Oftentimes, if we can simplify how we are thinking about soloing, this will lead to freer improvisation with a focus on melodic feel. I will also have a free PDF to his solo as well!

HI Nathan, this is excellent! Is it possible to get the backing track, so I can try to learn to play along?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Hi John! Thanks for your supper chat, really appreciate it. Do you mean the guitar comping under the solo and edited? I could definitely send that, though it might be a a week or so (out of town). Send me an email through my website and I’ll send it when I get home. nathanborton.com

[@wrtoomes600]

May I ask where you got the video?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Hello! I'm not sure I understand your question?

[@kidpoker007]

Are these changes to any other standards we might know?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

I'm not sure if this song is a contrafact of anything? The changes are very common however to a lot of songbook tunes though!

[@biztwang]

Russell Malone on guitar 🎸🎸

[@NathanBortonMusic]

The man!

[@hycus4292]

The solo on Bellorosa is played by Russell Malone, not Barry Green

[@danielroberts395]

He’s not talking about Russel Malone’s guitar solo. He’s talking about Benny Green’s piano solo - the first solo on the track

[@hycus4292]

@@danielroberts395 you are right, I did not listen that closely;-)
