Top Questions About Playing Jazz Answered

SHOW DESCRIPTION: Welcome to episode 331 where today I answer the top questions I get asked about playing jazz. These questions come straight from my Monthly Jazz Mastermind Q&A sessions I have with our Inner Circle members, and are the most common ones that come up time and time again. See if you have any of these questions as well! Main Points: 1. How do you know what the melody is to a jazz standard when the melody is played differently? 2. How do you know what the chord changes are to a jazz standard when different versions use different chords? 3. How do I know when to move on to the next thing? 4. Is there a step-by-step process for building a solo? 5. How to I retain jazz standards I’ve learned so I don’t forget them? 6. How do I retain the solos and licks I learn? 7. Should I write down a solo I’m transcribing? 8. How do I transition from chord tone, guide tone, and approach tone maps to improvising solos? ***Important Links*** Show Notes: https://www.learnjazzstandards.com/episode331 LJS Inner Circle Membership https://members.learnjazzstandards.com/ljs-inner-circle Free Guide to learn standards by ear: Learn Jazz Standards the Smart Way https://members.learnjazzstandards.com/op/learn-jazz-standards-the-smart-way/
