Stage 5 | Lesson: 45 | Step 9 – (improvisation) As I mentioned before, it’s very important to hear all the individual extensions as they produce very distinct colors.

Stage 5 | Lesson: 44 | Step 7 – (improvisation) I love the texture that his hexatonic sound produces because of the natural 11 that contrasts with the b5. You’ll be using both of the those colors when using these two triads and they create a nice blend of natural tension.

Step #13 – 3-4 Improv

Stage 5 | Lesson: 41 | Step 13 – (improvisation) Improvisation in a 3/4 time signature usually takes so time to get used to. Practice feeling the 3/4 as two dotted quarters to help you sub divide the measure if your soul is feeling off by the odd number of beats.
