The stern look

[andonibass]

Hello Janek

I'm practicing with this song and I would like to ask you a questions.

The Key is G, listening to the trombone soloing, I think that start the soloist with G minor pentatonic, for playing outside what scales use?, I play it by earing this solo, but I would like to know what scales is usually to playing outside, because this language is very typical in jazz.

Tim miller soloist: I'm playing his solos by hearing, what is the relation between G mayor pentatonic and D dorian, because this scale go very good. When Tim play outside, what scales does he use in this song?

And the last question, the armony chords

Sorry for my english, but with you I'm learning english and Bass

Thanks for all and greatings

It's actually not about what scales people use to play outside the harmony, but which melodies they use. Improvisation isn't built on a series of scales that are played in a sequence, it's built upon a personal collection of melodies that are played as a reaction to the music that's going on around them.

To be able to play this way you need to transcribe material that you like and that inspires you, and internalize that material so that's it's natural to you.

You said you were learning english. The music is exactly the same. When you become more fluent in the language you're not going to think about how you speak or how you put sentences together, you're just going to do it. And the best way to learn the language is not from a book or from theory, but from listening to it over and over again and just speaking.
