Jazz Fundamentals: What Is Improvisation?

This is the one video for school I don't hate

Sometimes I’m sitting around arpeggiating changes and seemingly out of nowhere I get these awesome ideas. Then I go back to record it but it’s never quite the same. On some occasions my buddy tries to film it but whenever I see any kind of recording device, I lose it. So I told him if he ever plans on recording to not tell me. Like in life, It seems like the best stuff is spontaneous. I’m composing my first song ever. It’s an instrumental and most of it has came to me when I’m sitting around idly strumming. Yet when I sit down and try to force myself to write , it doesn’t work.

So much love right there :D

Love the bass playing not busy just cook'in 👍

Who watching this for school

But does it have "rules", like harmonic rules or it's just about feeling? I mean do you think of theory when you improvise or it's "casual"? How can I tell a good improvisation from a bad one?

Right on!

I'm only watching this for a lesson in school

Me who's been doing jazz improvisation for years. Hmm yes click.
