Stolen Moments Jazz Guitar Solo

Improvising over the chords to "Stolen Moments" (Cm blues changes). Eastman T146SMD into a Acoustic Image Clarus 1.
Managed to get more augmented ideas into my improvising as well as sneaking in some Coltrane changes at one point.

Do you think of scales modes when improvising?

[DanJohnson]

@closetome I usually think about what notes work over the harmony at that time, but it not really a modal/scale approach I take. There are passages in the playing which have parts of scales in them; but it's just me getting from one chord to another using the easiest route!

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for linking with one of my vids!

[DanJohnson]

@leoosiku Thank you chief!

[leoosiku]

@DanJohnson You sir, are a gentleman as well as a good player.

@Rexicano This sounds great REX. You just don't get it. Probably never will. Stick to basic melodic fingerstyle tunes and you will be ok.

@closetome Seems like such a tall order!!

@DanJohnson

this guy could give you some ideas;

Stolen Moments - Pablo Zumarán

a good balance of Blues feel and intellect.

I'm not into recreating the same Jazz feel from decades ago...I need something of my own time and also want ALL the influences I grew up with like Hendrix; he's not Jazz but was probably heading that way.

You do play well, but Less is More. There's a reason why Santana is so popular; he gets more out of sustained notes....but probably could not hang with a Jazz Trio.
