Prepared to boost your jazz piano improvisation exercises improvisation abilities for the piano? Much more just, if you're playing a tune that's in swing time, after that you're currently playing to a triplet feeling (you're envisioning that each beat is split into three eighth note triplets - and every off-beat you play is postponed and played on the 3rd triplet note (so you're not even playing 2 evenly spaced eighth notes to start with).

So rather than playing 2 8 notes in a row, which would certainly last one quarter note ('one' - 'and'), you can divide that quarter note into three '8th note triplet' notes - where each note of the triplet coincides length. The first improvisation strategy is 'chord tone soloing', which indicates to make up tunes utilizing the four chord tones of the chord (1 3 5 7).

For this to work, it requires to be the next note up within the scale that the music remains in. This offers you 5 notes to play from over each chord (1 3 5 7 9) - which is plenty. This can be related to any type of note size (half note, quarter note, 8th note) - however when soloing, it's generally related to 8th notes.

It's fine for these rooms to come out of scale, as long as they end up fixing to the 'target note' - which will typically be among the chord tones. The 'chord range above' approach - precede any kind of chord tone (1 3 5 7) with the note over. In music, a 'triplet' is when you play 3 evenly spaced notes in the area of 2.

Now you could play this 5 note range (the incorrect notes) over the very same C small 7 chord in your left hand. With this strategy you simply play the same notes that you're already playing in the chord. Chord range over - half-step listed below - target note (e.g. E - C# - D).

KEEP IN MIND: You also get a wonderful series of steps to play, from 7 - 1 - 9 - 3 - if you wish to play a short range in your solo. However, to quit your having fun from seeming predictable (and break out of eighth note pattern), you need to vary the rhythms from time to time.
