LOA Improvising Studies
Looking ahead LOA 7 includes Improvising Study 3. LOA 8 includes Improvising Study 7. If I want to work on Improvising Studies 4, 5 and 6 even though my main focus is on LOA when would you suggest they would offer the most value? Thanks!
I'm supplementing my LOA studies with both Joe T and Ryan. Looking at Joe T I found videos for Transitions, Turnarounds and Endings. It makes sense that these videos match up with the Improvising Studies 4, 5 and 6 mentioned above but as the PDF's are not referenced at the top of the Joe T section I'd like to be certain.
It looks as if you're working with the easiest material from the Improvising Studies which are mostly more advanced. So I'm guessing this Joe T material is just an introduction to these studies and I'll get into them more seriously on the timetable you recommend above. If I print off the PDF's from the apprporiate Improvising Study do I need to listen carefully to the Joe T video to ensure I'm working on the correct example or is this listed or identified some place I haven't yet found?
Thanks!
You're correct, I'm working from those lessons and choosing licks that are skill-specific to Joe. I recommend you watch these song writing lessons with Joe for the process more than the specific licks I choose for him.
Hello SmokeJS. Study the lessons in order... after you study Improvising Study 3, do 4, then 5, etc. The advanced study songs take a while to work on. As you're developing your skills to play those study songs you can work on these more jam-based improvising studies (each study focuses on developing your improvising in specific areas, so you'll be doing a lot of Chorus Form work to integrate your favorite licks from these studies).
