Flowers Improv - J Dilla

Just jamming to some J Dilla.

[@stalingomez5251]

Im a bassist and my dream is to meet someone who likes and plays this kind of music and jam together 😢

[@Benry675]

DANG. Everything about your playing is so good. Your rhythm, phrasing, and your left hand comping is crazy! Super nice stuff.

[@theglockenspiel]

I’ve been listening to this every day for past 3 weeks, absolutely incredible

[@BlakeProbert]

I’m glad you like it 💫

[@manugc._.3369]

Me too man

[@jonathanflores2302]

I just had the idea of recording some improv over J Dilla beats so I looked up to see if it had been done. This is the best one; I'll be back to this video to learn those voicings-so hip

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

[@Narokx]

SHREEEEDDDD

[@hhubre]

This reminds me of the Cab Fare guitar dub, it’s incredible

[@jamesdonaldson6584]

This is incredible, u should live stream ur improvs!!!

[@BlakeProbert]

Thank you, I'm thinking about doing this soon. I'm not sure whether its gonna be youtube to start. I dont know. Sounds fun though :D

[@foundout161]

That second note you played should eb a half step instead of a whole step

[@Gros-loup]

greatness

[@retroreadyrecords]

Finesse, Flowers for you! Flowers to all; Peace. ✌️

[@nikverghese]

Did you tune the piano down cents? The piano doesn’t sound like a full key

[@BlakeProbert]

Yes I think I did, just to try and get close to the original frequency. :)

[@randomango2789]

You have a lot of musical talent. I wish I knew how to improvise like that 👍🏽

[@BlakeProbert]

Thanks @randomango

[@slimyfister]

Practise and use a song key to work out expected chord structures and extensions, then work out what scale to use for those chords (g chord in cmaj could be spelt GBDFA which would be solo'd over using a mixolydian scale) Once you get comfy with that admittedly hard concept you can try break the rules , like using different extensions for colour / surprise

[@raslirexatua]

so nice

[@diceblock]

Wonderful. It feels like vektroid's first album!

[@huha4811]

You responded super quick!! But I was wondering, if I could personally message you to see if you could actually help me with a tutorial of this improvisation (if you still remember). I'm literally in the piano room of my college and im hyped at the chords and the feeling it gives. Thank you in advance!

[@BlakeProbert]
