One of the characteristics of the jazz sound is the way target notes are approached.
How an improvised melody always has a new place to go.
How the music always is on the move towards the next target.
How tension and release is constantly working towards and against each other.
One of the ways to get this effect in your improvised music lines is to
always lead towards your target notes.
This could be target notes at the end of a phrase, more important chord notes in a phrase or just a particular exciting note of your choice which you want to bring out more.
Get this into your playing and your improvised music lines will sound
more jazzy.
Watch this video and learn how you get approach notes and surrounding notes into your playing.
I will show you some effective ways to practice surrounding notes.
At the end of this video I will give you two jazz licks, using the II-V-I
progression, where I use the approach and surrounding notes shown in the video.
