4 Steps to Melodic Improvisation Backing

This lesson was commissioned by Tyler Correll. I met Tyler many years ago in this place called the internet. Now he is having a series of guest lessons on his site. He then requested Mr. Fastfinger to do a lesson. His lesson series has a challenge to stay within 4 measures. Aaargh, I couldn’t do it! I simply had to do 6 bars to express my ideas properly with the mini solo. And this was the point when I really got carried away…

Theoretically speaking I’m swpping between the tones of A mixolydian and E dorian modes (both from D major scale) but please read the actual lesson for further written explanations. You’ll also find tablatures and audio at Tyler’s site: http://tylercorrell.com/sounds-of-the-soul/
It will be there very soon for you.
Please check it out in order to better understand the whole concept of these 4 steps!

I hope you will enjoy this one. It’s one way to approach improvisation. Atleast this works for me. Thank you to Tyler for making me do this lesson.
Also thank you to Thomas Törnroos for the Drum beats.

Give this approach a try!
Look forward hearing feedback from you.
Also questions are always welcome,
Mika
