Best jazz improvisation instruction on the internet. Music is a hearing art and your teaching always has that as it’s foundation. Bravo 👏

Aimee, I'm a jazz trombonist with a strong passion for the bebop style. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much! :-)

That's a incredible challenge to go from and get back to the melody, love it!!, thanks a bunch!,

Aimee, thanks so much for your lessons! I play guitar, but use your lessons, all the same, as they definitely apply. Bebop is my favorite jazz style, and using my ear, I can quickly apply the concepts you teach.

Aimee Nolte Great! Will definitely keep tuning in! 😊

Thanks for sharing, thats a cool idea for practicing.

Very cool!

You are amazingggg!

Inspirational ideas, Aimee.

Excelent !! wauuu super

Found your channel through Rick Beato; I am also a guitar player (studied the Sandoli method) and a great lesson transcends the instrument being used, in my opinion. Great lesson. :) (ps, beebop rules! lol)

Ben Asaro I sure appreciate that, Ben. Thanks!

youre amazing!

Ever notice how a lot of jazz standards, this one included, seem to overwhelmingly be in the key of E flat major? If I had a nickel for every time I played an E flat major seventh chord, i'd be a millionaire by now.

With limitation comes liberation

super lesson : )

Your videos are addictive

Oren Mangel oh Oren. Lol a stupid iPhone 6+. I know the lighting suffered here. It's a struggle to get a video made on vacation. But I only ever use this phone for my videos. Someday I'll have a more professional setup, I'm hoping. Thanks for not calling me out too bad!

Hello :D I've tried your advice. It was a bit high for me indeed but it was a nice challenge! Thanks for teaching us so well :D By the way: Bonne Année, as we say in France !

Lst Aimé so high! My husband heard me shooting the video and was like,"are you SURE they need to hear it sung?!" 😂

Would love to hear you sing this in Ab or Bb. Nice lines :)

This is sooo important!!! I remember in school that we used to train just a little to understand how improvisation works... but we weren't really given the opportunity to grasp how to actually apply it. what i've done is, i've written out entire solos over a tune, giant steps, i love you, yard bird suite, and after playing what i wanted to hear, what was written on paper, i could then hear the songs in my head without an accompaniment. It still is difficult to then branch off the solo and be free. I lack the will power to write bebop licks, because i don't know who gives the best ones to copy. But this, what you shared just made a lot of sense, plus, I can better understand the turn arounds, and theoretically how to apply a phrase, or like you said a bebop scale. Could you recommend a good source for bebop phrases, and more importantly, what source could you share, about the names of the scales within a scale and bebop scales. i have yet to find this. Thanks a bunch for sticking to one song too...it means you are actually working things out more and more each time. I've had better outcomes with other songs when i focus on just one, what i want to say comes out more fluid. I play trumpet, a little anyway.

+Lion Skyde try not to think about scales for me. Try out different notes over those chords and avoid the ones that sound bad to you. Embrace and use the ones that sound good. 🙌🏼

This is an awesome practice for just the spontaneous creation of bebop lines tho I dig.

Has nothing to do with your lesson but, is that a Westin? Thank you.

Aimee I think you have a lot in common with Diana Krall.

All the greatest players, at least in the so-called "mainstream" styles, go back to the tune implicitly or explicitly. Dexter Gordon comes to mind immediately for some reason. Every time I heard Hank Jones play he did this. Jimmy Heath and Oscar Peterson are both on record talking about the importance of melody.
