💬 LESSON DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever taken a solo over a chord progression with chords that change quickly?
Did you ask yourself: How do I handle the chords moving along so fast? Do I really need to outline their chord tones?
The answer is definitely not.
In this video, I explain how to improvise jazz guitar solos without worrying about quickly changing harmony.
We can do so by using an improvisation technique called prolongation.
I talk about using prolongation over a 1 6 2 5 chord progression, which is very classic in jazz.
Each of those chords take up just two beats, so they change fairly quickly.
There are many ways to improvise using prolongation, so in the video, I provide concrete steps to help you practice it from the ground up.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson about how to improvise jazz guitar solos over a 1 6 2 5 chord progression. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
