Classical influenced improvisation
Hi!
I made little video about practicing classical influenced improvisation. I feel that classical music is part of our corner stone of music in every style. Bach’s Inventions and Paganini’s Caprices are familiar to many jazz guitarists as well to many heavy metal guitarists. Although player wouldn’t be fond of these styles I think that practicing classical etudes and improvisation is good both to technique and tonal language improvement. When I was making this video I got feeling that basic rules for scale to chord doesn’t always work. Sometimes it seemed to work mix different scales, or use only the first five notes of the scales. Sometimes scale is forming from three-note or four-note chord arpeggios with chromatic notes added. Kindest, Mikko |

My teacher has been instructing me in classical music, ( Bach mostly). I find that it really helps develop my sight reading, ear training for tonal difference, and learning the fret board. My progress is slow but steady. Latin music helps greatly too for it involves many extensions, (9th, m11th, 13's) in many different forms of many inversions. Keep up your excellent style.

That's good to hear. IMO classical music is one of the best trainers for all kind of player in all styles. You said it very well. I think that classical melodies and harmonies are very much of the core of our music. Also this kind of melody playing is sometimes refreshing to add for example in jazz improvisation. At least in the mind when playing. It gives different approach for the situation. Kindest, Mikko |
