In this video, learn a technique which encourages the use of random notes rather than being stuck 'in' scales. Understand that there are no 'wrong notes' in jazz and that at the end of the day, your aim is to simply Play You.

Using the common keys of C, F and Eb, I demonstrate this random number technique to encourage you to pick random notes in your own improvisations and to acknowledge that any note is possible. If you don't like the result, you are only one semi-tone away from a more acceptable note to your ear.
