How to improvise on a simple Blues - method

In this method a food ingredient of a pizza is associated with each
chromatic note. This is not a frivolous idea , even though it might seem that way. The basis of this method is to teach that each note over a chord suggests a different feeling in the listener and player.

The next time I order a pizza, I shall expect to see a full chromatic scale on the menu.

this guy's voice cracks me up - as entertaining to listen to him as it is to work on my lousy improv skills :D

[@hecateswolf6007]

It's great isn't it.

[@caradogas]

The best video I've watched on this subject! Very tasteful solo choices, easy to replicate - one thing is to hear the notes being played by someone else; another totally different thing is to play the same lines and listen to those amazing tones coming from yourself! And the way you made the pizza metaphor actually working - we can indeed feel how each interval tastes - is pure ingenious!

[@mariocurtis2208]

Just amazing. A simple idea and each time I could hear the note within the improvising. Thank you!

[@groovalator]

very generous sharing Nick. Great stuff...

[@TimBurnamansMusic]

Hi Nick, all these teaching videos, are quite entertaining which holds the viewer's interest! Thank you for developing these awesome ways of learning and enjoying music! 🎶

[@philburpalooza8]

When you can teach a musically abstract technical artistic subject in a non-technical visual & taste-oriented way like this? Your lesson methods become pure genius. Has to be one of the top easiest to grasp music lessons ever published on KZbin. This will be a classic for years to come! Kudos!

Best Jazz channel!!!

[@OlivierOswald_1]

Very imaginative approach and very inspiring. Thank you for all your sharings. It's very stimulating and really encourages to invent on our own too. Tons of digital applause (likes and shares) !

[@joehernandez5600]

Love it and appreciate the quality of your videos.

[@jonniejlo]

Great Video! The thing i like best is the clarity of examples. It makes it easy to compare the different note choices/colours/flavours with each other. nice one!

[@Mikeshawtoday]

Great. Very enlightening. I'm at the point where I need a methodical way to practice over Blues chord progressions, and this is the perfect answer and method. Thanks!

[@user-cc1tx7sz5p]

Excellent! A great lesson is a live approach to improvisation!

[@JazzGuitarScrapbook]

I love anchovies! So by your reckoning the altered scale is - base, anchovies, chilli, garlic, tomato, pineapple and salami (no cheese). That is one hell of a pizza. On the other hand, the lydian dominant is base, oregano, tomato, garlic, cheese, garlic, ham, salami which sounds much more like something a normal person might eat.

Wow!!! Sir, your ideas, your presentation is brilliant!! You are an incredible musician and teacher. As an old washed up man, I only wish I could have had a teacher like you when I was a boy. In a world where there is so much bad and hate, it is good to know that there are people like as you who are spreading such good!! Whoever put a thumbs down on your work is jealous and envious. Please keep posting.

[@quentinmorales]

Great man. It was a feast

[@anakinskywalker8050]

the force is strong with this one

[@francoiscavuoto4675]

very good

[@lebinolivier6548]

Very nice and usefull tuto ! Very usefull for the ears and the fingers on instrum. I discovered something deviate from this : the basic 1 3 5 6 of the base pizza is the base for Piano Left Hand ! Thanks a lot, I will practice this for my Left Hand. Thanks a lot and take care

[@lebinolivier6548]

Of course I forgot to mention this tuto is very usefull to internalize the key degrees. When I play the 1356 my feeling is : it could be enough, full of sense.This is very uefull also to practice some finger prints on the keyboard. By the way, is this approach different than scales approach ?

[@yanturgeon1312]

Brillant!

[@petertarsio7168]
