How to improvise over chord changes - The 1357 method

Thank you for dedicating your time to educating others. I'm learning guitar and listening to every facet to hopefully understand and learn this language that has remained elusive to me.

I didnt know about this method but is definitely my favorite now. Thanks so much your channel is going to be one of the best saxophone channels in youtube all your videos are very useful

I play guitar and that es a really helpful lesson for me also. Thank you.

I really like the way you explained this method to play over the chord changes. For guitar this helped more than what some guitar videos explained. Thanks!

Thanks for really teaching and simplifying playing over the chord changes.

Good stuff and reasonably simple for budding imrpovisors. ... I often use the chords to Hazel O'coonor's 'Will You' to get students on the road to picking off chord tones, as that song is arpeggiated in 1-3-5-3; gets them hitting the changes. But it can be done on any song chord progression. The other method I use is arpeggios over 1-IV-V Rock and roll 12 bar changes as that comes in handy so often in different keys.

this video came up randomly. i decided to listen. very nicely demonstrated. i am exploring other videos in your channel. will use this input to my guitar learning. i am only a self learning hobbyist. thanks for the video.

Very nice video, thanks! I play tenor, soprano, and baritone myself, sometimes thinking of getting an alto. And for all of you who didn't know it, this method was discovered in 1357, the year when jazz was invented.

OMG. Thank you so much for explaining a wonderful way to enter jazz improvisation. This will provide me with hours of fun and frustration. By the way I am doing this on guitar; obviously brilliant for any instrument. Thanks again!

What a great lesson!!!! And your tone is beautiful. Thank you so much👍👍👍

Thank you for taking the time to video and post this. This lesson is also a helpful lesson for the guitar player moving from strumming chords folk/cowboy style to being a bit more creative with the the chord tones/arpeggio. Thanks again.

Rad! Thanks so much Man! Im a lifetime musician but just now learning theory- this is super helpful!!!

George! This is wonderful. 👍👍👍👍👍🎸

Really helpful. Thank you. I've been playing the 1 then the 3 then the 5, etc. - eventually full arpeggios, guide tones, voice leading, etc. - and saying the chord names out loud while I play to help cement the changes in my head (I play violin, so chords aren't second nature to me, yet) ... but that's not yet improvising - it's mechanical. I like the technique shared here better, because it's improvising right away (by feeling, playing, and varying the rhythm in a meaningful way). That seems more useful to me, more reinforcing (and less boring). Will be trying it tonight!

Excellent lesson, This really shows you how to play through the changes for any tune.

EXCELLENT!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
