"Scripting a solo" means preparing some parts while leaving other pars open for improvisation. Pianist, trapeze flyer, and composer, Jeremy Siskind shares four different ways of creating solo scripts and using them to reinforce concepts you're practicing regarding improvisation.

Watching your left hand on 0.25x speed taught me a lot about voice leading.💫

[@JeremySiskind]

Great! I'm happy you're learning! Mostly, I'm playing "bass shells" when I'm accompanying a solo in the right hand.

I don't know if you monitor this channel, Jeremy, but I would recommend strongly that you somehow commend the channel to non-pianists and non-jazz players. I play guitar and sing, but also play solos over bluegrass, blues and folk songs (alone and in groups). I have found so much in your channel. This particular post pretty much reflects the way I practice soloing, and also demonstrates how to add structure to solos in performance. In fairness, I have played jazz in the past and understand the language, but this is definitely NOT just for jazzers and pianists. Much better than a lot of the guitar specific stuff out there. THANK YOU!

[@JeremySiskind]

Great to know, Robert! I do hear comments form non-pianists every now and then. I'll let the algorithm do the rest.

Favortie Movie: Brazil by Terry Gilliam

[@JeremySiskind]

Ooh, I don't know it! I'll have to add it to my list!

[@markyachnin1901]

No movie title, just my appreciation and thanks!

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks for watching, Mark!

[@marksimo4406]

Your lessons and your joy WHILE PLAYING the examples are GENUINE

[@JeremySiskind]

I hope so! I'm not in this for the money... (other than the book sales 😂😂😂)

[@patbentolilarhythmking]

My favorite movie Is blade runner, for jazz players, the visuals is unique

[@JeremySiskind]

I need to watch that! I've never seen it!

[@mfurman]

Jeremy, you reference your (great) books in every video. It will be really helpful if your videos/lessons could be organized into playlists that reference your four books. If I may, your channel (regardless of its great content) is lacking it. Many other jazz KZbin channels devoted to jazz (such as Kent Hewitt’s channel, for example) have good playlists. Your channel is, shall I say, more spontaneous 😊 Thank you, Michael

[@JeremySiskind]

Your wish is my command. I've made some playlists, Michael, if you want to check them out! I'm not sure if they're what you've had in mind.

[@mfurman]

@@JeremySiskind This is great! THANK YOU, Jeremy! 😊

[@lucienquesnel]

Many thanks, Lucien, or should I say...merci beaucoup!

[@mjourney7582]

Definitely, it's helpful for my finals, Jeremy! Thanks ❤️

[@JeremySiskind]

Ooh, I'm happy to hear that! I hope you passed!

[@flober1970]

Awesome. As usual

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks for watching, Flober!

[@lutherhughes7091]

As always- You da Man Jeremy! Thanks !

[@JeremySiskind]

No, Luther! YOU da man! I insist!

[@donm3986]

There are many useful ideas in this video about 4 different methods for scripting a solo. I had not thought about the guide tone method before. Mon film préféré est: La Vie en Rose. ;)

[@JeremySiskind]

La Vie en Rose! A beautiful movie with a great song interpreted by many of the greats.

[@CliffieVanR]

Some great ideas here, Jeremy - many thanks! I think my favourite movie has to be Annie Hall.

[@JeremySiskind]

Thanks much for watching, Cliffy! Annie Hall - that's a classic!

[@CliffieVanR]

@@JeremySiskind You bet!

[@janetheffernan5565]

Great ideas! I will use these on some of the tunes from When Harry Met Sally 😁

[@JeremySiskind]

Beautiful! Those are great standards!

[@marcelloestemiele]

I'm always learning something from you, thank you very much. Too many favorite movies i can't decidee ahah

[@JeremySiskind]

I'm so happy you feel like you're learning, Marcello! That's lovely ot hear!
