  • mind = blown

  • Anyone fond of Mr. Galper's saying about improvisation should check dr. Ed Byrne. He has develop a thourogh system of melody reduction, guide-tone lines, Root progression and rhythmic reduction to improvisation, just like Hal is explaining here. It's worth checking it. Just google for ByrneJazz.

  • nice!! do you have some video talking about reharmonization or something to indicate me???

  • He loves the word embellish.

  • i'm with hal on all this. but what's up with the "showing chords in stacks" comment? i'm not really getting what he's saying here and why that's not harmony. not saying he's wrong, i literally just do not comprehend what the criticism is.

  • This is amazing! Thanks!

  • @MrBHarber Hal is deep, no doubt about that.

  • what exactly does he mean by chord scale relationship guide to improv? Is he saying that playing scales over chord progressions is bogus?

  • @187alacran

    Chord-scale shredding is not bogus if that's what your brain impulsively sends to your fingers and you happen to like it. It is bogus if you're just doing an intellectual exercise. Try to create resonance in your listeners.

  • i love this guy

  • @tbonea1dam1 Me, too!

  • What does he mean by "rhythmically inactive"?

  • @messerJ4H

    He means, hardly any 1/8 th notes in the rhythm in the written melody.

  • Oh for sure!!

  • I have been studying jazz for years, NOW I GET IT...!!

  • brilliant

  • what an excellent video, thanks!

  • This is so great. I am always saying that learning modes and chord scales and all that stuff is just an approach for a teacher to give you something to do. It's academic.

  • I love it!!!

  • Wow. He's completely right. I understood his embellishments so much better when he explained what he meant and played those simple melodies.

  • FINALLY!! Somebody said it! I was just having this conversation with somone the other night...

  • excellent series, and excellent advice! Thanks for posting!

  • let the melody be your guide -- little jimminy cricket style bit of advice. and dead right. all the great solos do just that. e.g. red garland's piano solo in miles' version of "it never entered my mind." the examples are abundant.

  • good points, this was fucking genius
