Question: How do you use chords in jazz solos/ improvisations!?
How do you figure out the chord structure, just regular root, 3rd, 5th, and a m7th !? and does that mean you should ONLY use those notes!? or those are the main notes you should play!? and should you also use the notes of the Chord scale or the notes of the Major scale you're playing!? and also how can you also use blues scales in solos!? im sorry if my question sounds confusing but ANYTHING will help!. thankyouWww@Enter-QA@Com

Improvsing is impossible to explain in one paragraph, but i'll give it a shot!. When you see a chord change like G m7th that means G, B, D,and F!. That is the chord being played out by the rhythm section!. So if you play any of these notes you will technically be right!. They will almost always sound right!. But a solo based off of 4 notes is rather boring, but the best place to start!. Get very familiar with the changes you are playing over and then experiment with what sounds good!. There are no rules to improvising, so certainly you don't have to play just the 4 previous notes!. and as far as "playing in the chord scale or the major scale you're playing" i've got no clue what you mean!. Anyway as far as using blues scales in a solo, some pros say that they always stay near the blues!. I do a lot of the time as well!. If you make some modifications to the blues scale such as rasing the minor third to a major and adding in a major sixth, you can use the blues scale in almost every scenerio!. Now some advice!. LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN! Please listen to as much jazz as possible and hear what they do!. Find the style you like most and try imitating it!. Private lessons with also help if you aren't already taking them!. Get some jazz books!. Jazz Essentials: Nuts and Bolts Instruction for the Jazz and Pop Musician is a great book!.Blues Improvisation Complete comes with a cd to improvise on and gives great instruction!. Aebersold has more than a hundred volumes of books with cd's, which is very useful and very fun!. Good luck on the common search for perfection!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
yeah, I'm a bit confused with your question!. However, here goes:
Jazz solos usually follow the structure of the chords!. So if you are soloing over a Gm7 (G Bflat, D, F) those are the notes you would want to play!. Now that doesn't mean that's the only notes you can play!. You can play other notes found within the key you are playing in!. If the key is F (You could also play aside from the Gm7 notes: A,C, E!.
-This is at the most simplest of explanations!. I hope this at least gets you on the right track!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

if you are improving 2 chord changes then you look @ the chord and you play whatever combination of the arpeggio of that scale for the chord change is mix up th notes tho for example:if you have a cm chord change then you can play c, e, g and they ill all sound great with the songWww@Enter-QA@Com
