Melodic Jazz Improvisation for Guitarists and Bassists
7:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time
Join guitarist Tom Dempsey and bassist Tim Ferguson as they share their approaches to jazz improvisation. You’ll learn to take standard chord progressions found in jazz and create melodic improvisations through the use of diatonic scales, arpeggios, melodic development, rhythmic motifs and repetition. Learn how to stop thinking and start creating musical improvisations.
Adding Chromaticism and Accompaniment to Jazz Improvisation for Guitarists and Bassists
9:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time
In this session, Dempsey and Ferguson will pick up where they left off on the material covered in the 7:30 session and show you how to use chromaticism in creative ways to enhance your melodic solos. The focus will be on using your ears to bring out your internal musical voice and create great improvisations. A portion of this session will also focus on how to accompany yourself as you improvise. The goal is to bring together your melodic, harmonic and rhythmic knowledge to create musical performances.
