Feel like your solos sound more like scale exercises than real music?
In this episode, I’ll show you exactly how to break out of the “scales-only” improvisation trap and start using real jazz language to create expressive, melodic solos.
We’ll dive into the three essential tools jazz players use instead of just running up and down scales, including:
✅ Enclosures and approach notes
✅ Motivic development
✅ Rhythmic swing and phrasing
If you’re stuck using theory without actually sounding like jazz, this episode will help you:
✅ Connect your solos to real language
✅ Start telling musical stories, not just playing notes
✅ Develop the tools to sound more like a pro — even on simple tunes
🎧 Grab your instrument and follow along. You’ll hear examples, breakdowns, and exercises you can use right away.
