Rolly Brown on soloing: part II

Building on part I, Rolly discusses and demonstrates the application of his approach to applying a couple simple scales to soloing over major scale chord changes. Part III, coming soon, will address the idea of using arpeggios as a basis for soloing over jazz changes.

just have to clear up some confusion. lets say a c chord is playing, i would want to play c,e and g, but i wouldn't limit myself to those notes only, just as long as i hit them?

[djangokeli]

Right. The C, E, and G are bases to land on. The other notes are called "passing tones"; you pass through them. They are like the base paths which lead from one base to another.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Rolly

i just adore the way you showed the difference between 'playing scales' to 'playing music' - it's amazing - an amazing change

what the artist, the human brings into the technique - inspiring to watch

thank you for your vids

Thanks for a clear informative lesson--you have explained more in these first two lessons than I have gotten from anyone in the past two years. I cannot say thank you enough.
