LESSON SUMMARY

Are you a closet improvisor? This is someone who desperately wants to express themself at the piano but is horrified to let anyone hear them attempt to improvise because of lack of confidence, knowledge or experience. In today’s Quick Tip, I am going to show you a beginner jazz piano scale used by pros and amateurs alike that will give you the knowledge and confidence you need to come out of the closet with your improv and sound amazing! You’ll learn:

- The Gospel Scale
- 1 Transformational Scale Exercise
- 6 Gospel Scale Improv Applications
- 4 Chord Shells for Accompaniment

If you are a beginner improvisor, this is absolutely the place to start. That’s because, unlike other scales, the Gospel Scale sounds great in virtually any style—swing, Latin, stride, pop, blues. Intermediate and advanced students will also appreciate the exercises in this Quick Tip as prompting for curiosity and exploration.

Happy practicing!
Jonny May

Hi Johnny I love pla, ing the piano and Id spent 3 hours writing about the piano on our life to share with you
I was near finishing when I lost it!, You're truly my best teacher... I'd been trying to play blues pop and jazz lsince the 80s and beginning to think I cant and can only play classical Nd songs by sight reading (grade 8+) But Im learning so much on Youtube. Listening to your vids, Im now getting so good at playing blues... I know I'll soon be playing some very good jazz. Thanks so much Johnny. Love your priceless teaching. You're my blues jazz and pop music guru. Love you lots.
All blessings, goodwill and fortune be with you.
