LESSON DESCRIPTION
In my opinion, being able to improvise over chord progressions using JUST chord tones is the gateway skill to being able to improvise anything.
A few weeks ago I published a lesson on this topic, but I didn't quite break down how to start working on it from the ground up.
In this video I use the song "Fly Me to the Moon" and I lay out a crystal clear process for how to start improvising with chord tones at any skill level.
If you want to improvise over progressions then this is one of the very best things you can work on.
