Steal THESE Jazz Concepts...

Here is a short video outlining what’s going on in my head while soloing over “My Ideal.” Hopefully you can find something you like and steal it for your own improvisation!
If you like this format of video let me know… trying something new!

Hi Rick! Appreciate that!

[@marcwhy]

Very nice! [Live vids are always a more "legit" way to show your actual playing, so please, more live stuff!] :)

[@NathanBortonMusic]

Thanks, appreciate your kind words! If you want another live video check this one out (it's in the studio but I promise it's a real performance!) ua-cam.com/video/--3w8TUJPUE/v-deo.html

Yes, this is a cool approach to the video. Since this is a ballad, are you actually taking the time to think about this in real time or are you explaining it after the fact without conscious awareness in the moment?

[@NathanBortonMusic]

In the moment I’m not really thinking, just feeling (or talking). But after the fact I can go back and see what I’m practicing come out in meaningful, or sometimes un-meaningful, ways. I do this normally for my own practice, but thought I’d share this time around.
