Episode 16.1 - How to improve your improvisation skills with transcriptions

Hello everyone, This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic LIVE. In this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Live, I explain how to get the most out of a transcription. To do so, I am using Chris Potter's solo on All the things you are in a duo with Shai Maestro on piano.  First, I analyse the ideas and how the player generates each melodic idea. Secondly, I give several advice on incorporating those ideas you find in the transcription into your improvisation. You can play and practise with me.  1️⃣ 00:02:35 Melodic pedal 2️⃣ 00:05:19 Rhytmic pattern and melodic shape 3️⃣ 00:08:52 Practising with iReal Pro 4️⃣ 00:13:40 Using enclosures 5️⃣ 00:15:55 Rhytmic and intervallic 6️⃣ 00:21:25 Melodic shaping 7️⃣ 00:24:38 Rhytmic - Practising 8️⃣ 00:28:33 Enclosures - Practising with Soundslice 9️⃣ 00:31:32 Bebop language 🔟 00:36:35 Fast phrases - Practising To download the pdf of this solo and other solos, please visit: https://mirkoguerrini.com/transcriptions/ Gear used in this video: AKG Pro Audio K702 Over-Ear, Open-Back https://amzn.to/3OwNkib AKG 414XLII Multipattern Condenser Microphone https://amzn.to/3XErFZB Logitech StreamCam, Live Streaming Webcam, Full 1080p HD 60fps https://amzn.to/3TZpv3C This video is NOT sponsored.
