    I simply go over the tunes I know and try to iron out any bumps, focusing on one or two tunes at a time. Then I spend a while learning a new tune (Blackest Crow at the moment) and finally just for fun I play the tunes I like best and sometimes experiment with a bit of variation, like slightly changing the rhythm or setting a different emphasis…[Read more]

    As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.

    I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.

    Do you practice scales?

    If so, how?

    What’s your relationship with scales?
    Are they fun, horrible or neutral.

    Do you use scale books?

    How about the scale lessons in the FiddleHed course?

    Or Scale Central? https://fiddlehed.com/practice-tools/scale-central/

    Let me know!!

      Thanks for this workshop Jason, as with all your workshops, it was really well paced with clear instructions. I think the jam tracks are a real winner! I’m looking forward to coming along for the ride as you develop your ideas on teaching improvisation.
      Would you consider a lesson on Gershwin’s Summertime at some stage?

        Thanks for sharing this reflection, Marg. Improv is a big draw for expansion and creative growth 👍🏼
        I will include your lesson suggestion to our list for consideration, and please stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to be supported in one another sharing song lessons with the community. 🙂

    Transitions sound pretty good!

    If you want to get more confident, then practice “Transition Loops” (2-4 bars total):
    –End of the A part/Beginning of B part
