A short video of me playing through Friedman's Dampening Etude #3
He said play an Ab dominant bebop scale over a Cmin7b5. It's interesting because a C-7b5 looks like a rootless Ab9 chord.
So I thought I'd pass it along here. I'm sure he has covered it in lessons, but I thought I would mention it.
Check this out !
Write the chords in.
Play the etude.
Can you improvise your own version of this?
Do you know the scales?
Quarter notes are great for practicing improv, because you have to play each beat but you also have a lot of time to think.
Can you put chords in? Do you have the chords memorized?
This is a quick and dirty etude. If there are any glaring mistakes let me know.
It's sort of a step 1.
(ESP) Bienvenid@ a vibesworkshop.com! Aca una lección muy simple. Cuando pienso en las clases y ejercicios que hacemos de improvisación, pienso que hacemos técnica y muchas otras cosas. Es una gran actividad, y es muy simple. Algunos de mis estudiantes que son nuevos en tocar vibráfono de jazz trabajan sobre esto. Agarras dos acordes menores a una distancia de 4ta justa, por ejemplo Fa menor (que va a Sib menor [...]
Thanks Jimmy Johns for finding this!

First, this is a short sample of some rough practice time. Be aware. Just being accountable and looking for any feedback as to whether I'm on the right track. I do feel like this is helping.
One of the hardest things for me, personally, as I develop as an improviser, is "hearing" lines inside of the chord structure that AREN'T the actual chord tones, OR similarly....hearing lines that don't follow a diatonic pattern, e.g. up/down the scale. I realize this is probably very common at my early stage of learning, but it's non the less a bit frustrating...
