In this masterclass we'll be focusing on all the things you need to know to be a great improvisor and how to develop a voice on your instrument. This course is designed for bass players primarily, but all instrumentalists interested in improvising will be able to get something out of this. We'll go over harmony, crafting melodic solos and how to come up with memorable parts on the spot.
What's included
How to Sing What You Play
How to Sing What You Play

Functional Harmony and Playing Over Changes
Functional Harmony and Playing Over Changes
This masterclass isn't primarily about music theory but having a solid grasp on functional harmony is essential if you want to play over chord changes. We'll do a basic harmony review as well as how to play sophisticated sounds over different kinds of chords and progressions.
What You Should Transcribe and Why it's Useful

How to Use Improvisation to Compose
How to Use Improvisation to Compose
A lot of people think that improvisation is only about playing cool solos, but at its core it is really about spontaneous composition. In this segment we'll go over how to use your improvising skills to write songs, come up with parts for sessions and play great bass lines.
