Thanks my bro!

[@pundokcawecawe2904]

thanks Anthony, hopefully it becomes useful knowledge and acts of worship for you

[@stefanomorbidelli8878]

Hi Anthony, super useful lesson as usual. I would love to see your process of learning a jazz standard that has parts where you have two chords per bar (oleo, for example) and if when soloing you outline all the changes or you ignore some. When i solo over a tune like oleo or St Thomas my phrasing feels very limited.

[@julianpischler9378]

Great question man, I'd love to hear his thoughts on this also. I find licks become almost like a safety net during tunes like rhythm changes and others that follow the 2 chord per bar progression format.

Thanks!

My bass teacher once said “imitate, assimilate, innovate”, which I think you’re alluding to here. I mean, I then went on to completely ignore that, and do exactly what you and him are saying _not_ to do, but still. I think the main thing, and it applies to any music where you might improvise a little, or a lot, is to make anything you do make _sense,_ melodically and rhythmically, in the context of the music you’re doing, instead of just noodling on notes that technically ‘fit’.

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Haha. Man, I hear you. It’s simple information, but super hard to accept and implement.

[@markarolee]

Bruhh... that intro was beautiful!

[@AnthonyMuthurajah]

Thanks bro!

[@manosanagnostopoulosbassis7864]
