Re: Improvising Part II
I wish that you would come to my house and prevent some clutter. :) There is no real formula for practice or improvising. I can tell you this; there are two basic formats. Those are vertical, which is chord spelling. The other is linear or modal which involves scales and modes. You need to know scales, such as major, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, dimimished, pentatonic, and blues. You also need to know diatonic modes, and how to spell chords. Use what sounds good to you. You can learn one hundred words that rhyme with moon, but can you put them in a poem? My point is, no matter how much you know, there are also technique and tastiness involved. You have to develope a feel for it. Best of luck to you Josh.
