12 bar blues improvisation practice #2



In this video, i played my composition again and this time it sounded pretty good.

But when I keep listening to it, I feel like there's something missing and my composition does not match with the actual jazz chords. So in the next video, I will try to change some of the notes for my right hand side so that whenever i play it with the jazz chords, it will sound much better than before.

12 Bar Blues improvisation practice #1



In this video, I was able to combine the jazz chords with my 12 bar blues composition.

At first I find it hard because I didn't know how to play any of the jazz songs and how to improvise. But once I started learning all the jazz chords, scales and others, I finally know how to compose/ improvise a jazz composition. I think I did ok in this video. I made some mistakes but I can practice more so that I can clear out the mistakes that i've done.

In this video, I am playing my 12 bar blues composition without the jazz chords.

I did pretty good, I feel like it sounded too plain without the jazz chords. Maybe if I add more notes on my right hand side, then it would sound better. I will try to play my own composition again with the jazz chords for my next video.

12 bar blues composition 4 bars with jazz chordz



In this video, I was able to play my 4 bars composition with jazz chords.

I thought I played it ok. I think i just need to add more bars to complete my 12 bar blues composition. I think it would sound way better again if i complete everything and use the jazz chords properly so that it won't sound so plain like the previous video that I have mentioned previously.

12 bar blues (4 bars)



In this video, I played my own composition for only 4 bars.

I think it sounded really plain so if it would sound way better if I add the jazz chords. So in the next video I will be playing my own composition for 4 bars with accompaniment.

Jazz scale



In this video I am playing the jazz scale that Mr Herry taught us earlier during instrument class.

I did well in this practice because it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. I think if i practice this exercise more, I will be able to compose a 12 bar blues and can apply it for the assessment day.

This is my 2nd attempt in playing my chord progression. I thought i did ok. I think I just have to break it down into some parts and play it slowly so that I can play fluently gradually. I made some careless mistakes so I should practice more to clear out all of the mistakes I've made in this video.

In this video I am practicing on the chord progression given in class. It was I, IV, II, IV, IV, I, IV, V IV I V blues chord progression. I played it really bad because it was my first attempt doing this. I will try and practice again until I can play it fluently.
