Joe Cool Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 Hey Does any one have tips on first solo-ing for jazz keyboard/piano? Other than chords in the left have (ya know the Bb Eb Bb F Eb Bb) and then the Bb blues scale.... I just mess around with the scale and the chords but other than that i don't know what else to do, espcially in the right hand. Also any tips on staying with a jazz band or a band in general...I can play the music and all that but sometimes I get off from the band because the piano part is so different than the other parts. I also play the alto saxophone and it is easy because you have other people playing the same thing. But for piano......it is different any tips thanks Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 A real quick and easy way to get into some cool exploration is to take that I position blues scale ( in your example Bb) and play it in other keys. Still comping on the Bb, play a blues lick in Ab, C, or F. If you are playing dom 7th based stuff you can play pentatonics in these keys. If a more major progression use a major scale based improv, ect. Hope that makes sense. With a little experimentation you can go alot of places from there. good luck, John http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
