Practice Arpeggios Like Chris Potter and Sound Amazing

The rhythmic concept in how Chris Potter plays arpeggios is really worth checking out.
How the rhythm of the arpeggios adds so much value to the lines Chris Potter plays.
Realizing that jazz improvisation is much more than a bunch of eight notes and using Chris Potter’s lines and practice methods in your development will add so much to your playing.

What The Bebop Scale Can Do For Your Playing

Modern Jazz and bebop is linked together – there is no doubt about this.
All the great players of today have all studied bebop relentlessly. 
The step to take you closer to jazz playing is definitely by learning the bebop scales.
In this stepwise build up I take you through how to learn and use the bebop scales in jazz.

Using Triads Can Change Your Playing

The use of triads is an amazing way to access both inside and outside playing.
The easy shape of the triad, with only three notes, is a super great way to ease in on getting altered sounds into your playing.
I demonstrate how you can add simple triad ideas to different chord functions and get a clear less to more altered sound.
