How Do I Not Overthink When I Solo?
Manage episode 424226598 series 183284
In this episode, Brent tackles a listener's question about avoiding overthinking during solos. Anton Visser, a long-time listener, asks how to play more intuitively without feeling compelled to fill every bar with notes. Brent advises that while it's important to practice and understand the theory, the key to natural-sounding solos is to let intuition and emotional connection to the music guide you. He compares this to the ease of tying your shoes, which becomes second nature through repetition and familiarity.
Brent also emphasizes the importance of practicing leaving space in solos and suggests exercises to help with this, like alternating between playing and resting bars. He encourages listeners to practice improvising freely, without backing tracks or strict adherence to chord changes, to build confidence in their musical instincts.
This episode is packed with practical tips and insights to help jazz musicians play more naturally and confidently. Don't miss out on this valuable advice—subscribe to the Learn Jazz Standards Podcast today and take your jazz journey to the next level.
