LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In this lesson from my course, Nail the Changes, I explore different ways of playing the Dorian scale on the classic jazz standard "So What."
This clip is from a mini-series within the course called "Try This," where I give you ideas and concrete suggestions to try techniques and concepts from the course in real music.
This particular song is easy to dive into, regardless of your skill level, because the harmony stays the same for long periods of time.
Beginners can practice internalizing their scales, and intermediate or advanced players can practice phrasing and tasteful improvisation.
If you want a clear place to start jazz improvisation, or to hone skills you already have, this video is for you.
