HOW TO IMPROVISE over ‘THE CHICKEN’ (PART 1)

[@claudrocker]

Fantastic lesson! I'm just starting to follow chord changes and this is pure gold. Thanx!

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

You're very welcome! I’m glad you liked it!

[@jazzed2b]

Pretty smooth!

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Cheers!

Great lesson, very detailed and fantastic. Really appreciated. Especially how you demonstrated landing on the 3rd of the Eb as the chord changed, then with the Db too. Great stuff.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Glad it was helpful my friend!

Also if you're taking suggestions for upcoming vids, it would be great to see your approach to 2 things : 1. Targeting chord tones 2. Implenting licks/lines that you learnt during your improv.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Part two will see the use of chord tones more (I briefly discussed this over the Eb7 in this 1st part) but will be address more in Part 2. Also I can break some of the improv I did at the start :)

Hey brother just keep making such content ! These vids help a lot. Love from India ❤.

did you ever hear Tory Slusher ...? you like this guy yu will like her give her a listen!

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

@@bluevd12 I haven’t! I’ll check him out! Thanks

[@shalomshalom735]

Here's a suggestion: Any chance you can feature a Dire Straits song (either Tunnel of Love or Telegraph Road) and show us some ideas you have. Reason I point these songs out is cause there are many chord changes that aren't on "Beat 1". I find it that it's hard in such songs to always be aware of the chord changes. It just feels like you can "do justice" if you take some song like that and demo a few ideas you have. It will totally help. Like said: it's just a suggestion.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

I will check the song out and let you know! :) thanks for the suggestion

[@shalomshalom735]

@@jamesdaviesguitarMuch appreciating it! The idea with these songs is there are chord changes not on Beat 1, also more frequent and a bit faster, unlike 12-bar blues so it's a bit harder and so like said, will be great to learn your approach to something like that.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Ok cool! I’ll have a look :)

James is there anyway we can have your playing on a seperate track without the lesson. Just playing only. Kinda like you used to do....lessons are great but wanted to play along with your jam. Let me know thanks.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Sure thing! I can upload a separate video of just the intro jam.. :)

[@arcticraven2462]

@jamesdaviesguitar thanks very helpful. I slow down the jam and listen and try to play with it.

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

@@arcticraven2462 No worries- I will do that
