@00:17. I heard it. The Lick does in fact reign supreme.

really like this vid. I am having a hard time figuring out what you are playing with the left hand however. Are you playing the 1&5? Or just on the C and all other notes just get the bass note? Thats for when you first introduce the progression @ 2:19. Also later when

Than @ 2:52 you are playing the full triads in the left and the same on top but just arpeggiating them with the right?

Sorry so analyzed, i'm just at a different level and trying to break it down properly.

TY.

You ca just play 1-5 in the LH or full chords too, if you want.

The main point is that when the LH is just a C for many measures, you can jam on the little "ghost" changes with the RH to make things interesting.

In improvisation on one chord must be more useful different modal things, quartal left hand voicing, different pentatonics, off-line tones etc.

But thanks any way! ;)

@mihmus Right....i got million vids here that cover the areas you mentioned.

This particular vid covers a kind of rollicking, conservative Wytnon Kelly, Joe Henderson approach to improv.

Most of the other areas I covered in Pentatonics, interval containers and the one entitled "genius method."

Great tutorial. Thanks for uploading.

Nice tutorial. That clear triadic movement is refreshing, reminds me a little of some of the Esbjörn Svensson stuff.

Bluesy, soulful and on the mark. Nice lesson. ;-)
