A big thanks to Bradley Thompson for his collaboration in producing the audio track to this video. Brad added his expert conga and Latin percussion playing. Thanks Brad!
This is the second in a series of “practice inprovisations“. For this practice session, I take a simple 4 chord progression based in A Minor. You can think of this progression as a minor I-VI-II-V using a tri-tone substitution for the II chord.
I start out using basic A Minor pentatonic and blues scales and then interject some chord tone outlines and “side-stepping“ pentatonics usually a semi-tone away from the tonic. Rhythmic variations play an important part of any improvisation, and I try to demonstrate this here as well. I have added annotations to help you with your learning process.
I hope you enjoy watching, listening and learning and always, thank you for your support.
