Hello guys! I have a new video up on youtube, improvising on John Coltrane's "Giant steps". You can check it out here Feel free to comment if you want to All the best! /Peder

IMHO, keep the melody in your head while soloing, and you could try to be more articulate about the chord changes and form in your melodic content. As mentioned above you should be able to hear and "feel" the form of the song even in an unaccompanied solo. You could try working on 2-bar and...
