Re: Beginning Jazz

Author: Travis  Date:   2008-01-25 18:35 Thank you for all of the advice. I live in the 'burbs of Seattle, WA. I try to practice between 30 minutes and 1 hour each day (longer on weekends). I wish I had more time to practice...I suppose we all do. The pentatonic scale looks like something that would be helpful - something simple that I can use for improvisation. I also think some of the Aebersold play along books would be fun to try. I'm certainly not looking to belt out tons of notes during a solo - I just want the ones I play to be the right ones. Also, I'm pretty much sticking in the lower register as I'm not yet comfortable with 'crossing the break'. I hear so many of my favorite artists play solos that sound so simple and that seem to only be comprised of 3-4 notes...how do they do it?! -travis
