@Jazz1110jb :) thanks! I'm actually releasing a piano trio album next month. I'm still keeping my real identity secret though...but if you send me an email at gns134@gmail.com, i'll send you my real name so you can get the album when it comes out :)
Do you think that transcribing is useful for the theory, i mean to understand what notes to play and when, or to learn automatic hands movenents? When transcrbing a solo, do i have to learn to play it in tempo or i just have to look for the harmonic and melodic ideas? Thanks for the inspiration, your music is very pleasant for me, and so interesting at the same time
@cecchinigiulio I think it's useful for all of those things. When I transcribe, I do two different things. First I write the solo down on sheet music, and analyze it theoretically. Then I learn to play it, so it expands the vocabulary that my hands can perform. It's useful for all of those things.
It s one of the best versions i ve ever heard, beautiful. Your phrasing is amazing, do you think that there is a practical way to learn it? for example improvising on 2 5 1. Anyway i usually tend to use almost always the same rithmic patterns, how do you have VARIETY? A big respect to your art, that s amazing
@cecchinigiulio Thank you! I've learned my phrasing by transcribing saxophone solos :). Cannonball Adderley is one of my favorite saxophonists for phrasing. I transcribed his solo on Milestones. I'd definitely recommend doing that. Kenny Garrett is a great phraser as well. :)
Final question: After enough practice one should begin to here all the chord tones and change his goal note at willto what the line sounds like it is aim to right? For example if my goal note is C in waltz for debby but, I hear my line aiming to an E should I just end it on C for practice purposes or should i always lean toward what I hear it resolving to?
@danieljones013 That's a good question. I'd say at first, if your goal note is C, make sure that you can build a logical line that ends on a C. Otherwise, you might eventually revert to just ending on the most convenient note, rather than the note that you hear. What will eventually happen is you will start to hear the final goal note as you are beginning to play the line, rather than as your are finishing the line. Once you're at that point, you can move the goal note around musically.
@weeklypiano Excellent that has helped me alot. especially since i can now improvise to Giant Step becuase of your teachings bro. Thanx. Also, By logical line Im assuming you meaning using any combination of scales, arpeggios, chord tones, and/or chromatics that would force a resolution to the goal note of that particular line (or song if you only use one goal note for the entire solo).
Now for motivic development, repetition and sequencing the goal is still land on the goal note correct?
@danieljones013 Yep, you got it! The next step will be transforming your motives, repetition, and sequences to develop towards that goal note! That'll be some seriously deep motivic development.
How can I get more varity in my ideas? i have tried several approaches, and by far what you have showed me has helped alot. But, Still I dnt have the sound you have in this vid and the variety, what can I do to improv this? How do you get the ideas from your mind out on the piano so effiecntly?
@danieljones013 Interestingly enough, what we hear as variety in ideas often is not variety, but rather a very in-depth understanding of a limited vocabulary. I'd recommend taking one line from a solo that you love, and learn it as in-depth as possible, in as many ways as possible (over different chords, different progressions, flip it upside down, play it backwards, etc). Your hands' ability will expand to further variations, and the mind-instrument connection will become consistently deeper.
How can I get more varity in my ideas? i have tried several approaches, and by far what you have showed me has helped alot. But, Still I dnt have the sound you have in this vid and the variety, what can I do to improv this?
The idea, is when creating long flowing lines or short 'catchy phrases',
1. choose a goal note or final consonant tone
2. connect chord tones with appegios/scales/chromatics on your way to the goal note.
Is this what you explained in your other vid? Is that what your doing here? Does the goal note stay the same for the whole song or do you change it after each new phrase? (this is only with reference to line construction & not melodic dev.)
@danieljones013 That's pretty much the gist of what i'm explaining. At first, the goal note should stay the same, for practice purposes. However, as you get the concept down, you can change the goal-note over time to create an elongated interwoven melody, created by the goal notes inside the faster lines. Does that make sense?
@weeklypiano It does, but I need just a little bit more explaination. So, you can have more than one goal note in any given line? Or is it that after each line the goal note can change?
@danieljones013 it can be done that way (with one goal note per line), but then you'll eventually start stringing multiple lines together, so essentially it can sound like more than one goal note in a given line. That can get tricky, though, because it's easy to just start spurting out a bunch of meaningless notes and forget about the goal notes if you start stringing the lines together without mastering the execution of a single-goal line.
@weeklypiano I see thank you so much. My playing has gotten mucho better thanks to the tips from your last video and now I think I'll be able to truely express my music and improvise like a pro. Thank you so uch bro. Hey, did you do an videos on modal or quartal music?
@danieljones013 Thanks, i'm so glad that it helped!! I've studied modal music pretty intensely, and I've done a lot of analysis of McCoy Tyner's quartal style, so I may go ahead and make a video on some of that. Thanks for the idea!
beautiful!

I resently bought the book "The goal note method"
The idea, is when creating long flowing lines or short 'catchy phrases',
1. choose a goal note or final consonant tone
2. connect chord tones with appegios/scales/chromatics on your way to the goal note.
