Well, I have to think about that in terms of friction. Like, what friction are we experiencing in our jazz playing, in our musicianship that we keep leaning into, that we keep just accepting?

Using "Restrictive Practicing" to Improve Your Jazz Solos

When it comes to improvisation, really, there are so many different avenues to explore, so many different things you can play and after listening to some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world, you realize there's a massive amount of vocabulary out there that you can express.

But, perhaps you're someone who is working on jazz right now, you're an avid practicer, but you feel often frustrated.

The Secret to Feeling Calm When You Play Your Instruments
00:42:21
So, it's the year 2009, I'm in college at that time, going to school in Seattle, Washington. And in Seattle, there is a jazz jam session at this bar called the Owl N' Thistle. Cool little dive bar, exactly what you want in a jam session, kinda smells like stale booze, all the good stuff, right?
So, I go for the first time, even the second time, third time, fourth time, fifth time. Honestly, it really doesn't matter at this point in my life. The same feeling inside of my body was always the same, it was just always the same, and that was terrified, tightness, stress, and anxiety before I went up to play. I was scared, I was horrified to play. I had serious problems with performance anxiety.
Now, also at the same time, some of my colleagues within the school, players that were a little bit older than me, a little bit more experienced than me, noticed that I was playing really tensely. They would look at my body when I was playing, when I was jamming with them and they would see that my shoulders would crunch up, that my hands were very tense and rigid.
And they point that out to me and said, "Brent, you know I feel like there's a lot of stress and tension in your body when you're playing, and even though you play a lot of good stuff, it's kinda coming across that way." So, the problem, my friends, is I had not figured out how to play music in a calm state.
So, in today's episode, what I wanna do is I wanna talk about the two sides of things. A- the performance anxiety side, but B - a secret to learning how to play calmly that we all can be working on and has helped me make a lot of improvements in this right now.

Well, that's exactly what I'm going to talk about in today's episode.
In this episode: 1. How do we become more creative musically? 2. Secrets to tapping our inner creativity 3, Restrictive practicing 4. Drawing inspiration from things that are musical and non-musical 5. The act of composition 6. Frequency is the key 7. The leap of faith

Have you ever heard of "binge practicing" before? So, binge practicing is kind of what it sounds like, it's where you are practicing for large amounts at a time.
And you can also binge practice often, so you are binge practicing frequently. It's kind of like binge-watching Netflix. It's like you watch 5 hours one day and 5 hours the next day, and it keeps on going on like that.
Well, today, I want to talk about the pros of binge practicing and the cons of binge practicing for your jazz playing.
In this episode:
The pros of binge practicing 1. Drastic improvement in technical proficiency 2. Sheer exposure 3. Gain more confidence in playing
The cons of binge practicing 1. Tendency to get burned-out 2. Inability to sustain binge practicing which leads to frustration 3. Inability to notice one's progress 4. Tendency to practice mindlessly 5. Exposure to possible injury
I Redid Episode 1 of the LJS Podcast (4 Habits for Better Practicing)
00:32:09
Alright, my friends, today's episode is going to be a bit cringy for me, but I'm going to do it anyways. We're going to be back to episode 1 of the Learn Jazz Standards podcast and it was called 4 Habits for Better Practicing.
And I'm going to look through those 4 habits, that advice that I gave all the way back in 2016, and show you what's changed and what stayed the same as far as my advice goes with jazz practicing and improvement and all that good stuff.
In this episode:
- What has changed and what I think should stay the same about my advice in 2016 on the following: 1. Practicing Habit #1: Set goals and write them down 2. Practicing Habit #2: Remove distractions 3. Practicing Habit #3: Practice what is ailing you, not what you are already good at 4. Practicing Habit #4: Be consistent
Today, on the podcast I'm going to be sitting down and improvising a little bit over a jazz standard that I like to play and just giving myself an opportunity to explore some new ideas, to allow myself to get musically creative.
I like you to join me in the process and see what you can discover along the way as well.

00:28:58
We are 2 days away from the year 2023, and if you're listening to this episode it very well could be the year 2023. And a lot of people like to use the new year as a new beginning, or perhaps, a new chapter.
So, regardless of whether you're into the idea of new year's resolutions or the traditional sense of what that actually means, I do think it's a good idea to create a plan for what you're trying to achieve within the next year.

Hey, listen, there are a lot of jazz standards out there and it can be pretty overwhelming which ones to learn, how often should you learn a new one?
But if we can take all that pressure away and instead you are only responsible for becoming an expert in just one jazz standard? What would that look like? How would that work and how would that actually help you become a much better jazz player at all the other jazz standards out there as well?
So, I'm going to dive into that today. We're going to be talking about discovering your tune of destiny and how to utilize this strategy.
In this episode:
1. The concept of the "Tune of Destiny" by Justin Nielsen 2. The 3-Track System for Skyrocketing Your Jazz Playing 3. Criteria for picking a song of your destiny a) one that you really enjoy playing b) it contains a lot of common chord progressions in most jazz standards c) level of difficulty 4. How learning your song of destiny contributes to your progress at learning the other jazz standards and vice-versa. 5. Call to action
So, we just got our Inner Circle Retreat this last weekend, and my friends, it was an absolutely amazing time. So motivating and so inspiring. A lot of our Inner Circle members came together. We did workshops, we did masterclasses, and we did group breakout sessions. It was an amazing time and we learned a lot together.
I want to share with you one little thing that we did talk about during the retreat 'cause I think it will be helpful for you as well, And that's this concept about playing "B.A.D" jazz solos and how playing "B.A.D" jazz solos all-year long could be the secret to massively and exponentially improving your jazz skills this year.
Today, we're talking about the 6 lies of jazz success. Things that you've probably heard before are good things, but it turns out they actually aren't and could be holding you back from reaching your goals in your jazz playing, and becoming the musician that you want to be.
So, let's get ready to do this. Pay attention and grab your notebook.
In this episode:
The 6 lies about jazz success and the alternative ways to turn it around Lie #1: Everything you practice matters Lie #2: Practicing a lot of things gets more results Lie #3: We must practice the same things Lie #4: Willpower to practice can be summoned easily Lie #5: We must have balanced practice sessions Lie #6: Thinking big is bad
So, tell me if you're going to relate any of this:
You want to go play at a public jam session, but you're kind of just afraid that you're not going to sound good and you're afraid of what the other jazz musicians are going to think of you and your playing.
Or, you go up to perform and all the eyes staring back at you make you tremble, make you clam up, and in general, it's just an incredibly uncomfortable experience that doesn't allow you to actually have fun performing and playing jazz.
Well, in today's episode, I'm going to share with you my personal experience with performance anxiety, whether it be for a crowd of people or in front of your peers, and how I've dealt with it and hopefully, you can learn a little bit from my story as well.
Fine Tuning Your Jazz Playing with P.B.R. Practice
00:24:35
One of my jazz mentors once said that the secret that pro-level jazz musicians have, some of the best jazz musicians in the world, is they've mastered the art of practicing.
In fact, he went on to say that, pro jazz musicians spend just as much time fine-tuning their actual practice as they do their actual jazz playing.
And so, today, I want to talk about the strategy called P.B.R. practice. Elements of practice sessions that will help set you up for success and jump-start your playing and help it improve a lot faster than it would, otherwise.
Today, on the podcast, I want to talk about thinking big. Thinking big in your jazz playing. What I mean by that is aspiring to be something that you probably could never attain.
Perhaps it's playing just as good as Sonny Rollins, perhaps it's playing with your own band at the Village Vanguard. Audacious goals that are really, really difficult to attain, if not, impossible for you to attain.
I want to talk about how this kind of thinking will actually propel you forward in your musical journey and will have a tremendous output for you when you allow yourself to think this way.
In this episode:
1. Thinking big: Why it's actually a good thing. 2. Identifying your most audacious goals. 3. Take your first steps toward the goal. 4. Taking note of the elements of what makes jazz players great. 5. How projects trigger reward responses to create motivation. 6. The dangers of thinking big. 7. Recalibrating your expectations to energize you in the pursuit of progress. 8. What is your audacious goal?
From The Vault: How to Prepare to Play at Jazz Jam Sessions
00:51:02
I hear from a lot of you that a big goal is to play at a public jazz jam session. But there may be some barriers, either in your mind or your actual playing ability that is stopping you from actually doing that.
So, how do you prepare to play at jazz jam sessions and with other musicians in general?
That's why we're going to go back into the vault of the LJS podcast, pull out an episode where I get two of my good friends and professional jazz musicians, Wallace Stelzer and Diego Baldonado, and we have a discussion where we talk about this subject.
I know you're going to find it incredibly valuable.
In this episode:
1. What are some of the basics you need down to play live? 2. Watching jam sessions and taking notes 3. Using playing with others to practice vs. perform 4. How to know when you are ready to start going to jam sessions
Using Chord Extensions and Alterations to Spice Up Voicings and Solos

The 7 Categories of Jazz Standards You Need to Learn
00:28:26
Hey, so we know there's a lot of jazz standards out there to learn and sometimes we wonder which ones should we be learning to be able to play with other musicians who play at jam sessions or even play at gigs.
And so, it can really be helpful to understand what the categories are that we need to be focusing on, the subgenres of jazz that will come up time and time again as far as tunes being called in public settings.
So, today on the podcast, we're talking about 7 categories of songs that you need to be learning for jazz.
In this episode:
The 7 Categories of Jazz Standards You Need to Learn 1. Blues 2. Rhythm changes 3. Great American songbook 4. Bebop 5. Modal 6. Bossa nova 7. Ballads
How to Play Jazz By Instrument (Guitar, Piano, Sax, Trumpet, Bass)
00:40:31
If you play guitar, saxophone, trumpet, bass, and piano, this episode is for you.
On this podcast, we talk about jazz improvisation and things that literally all harmonic and melodic instruments need to be doingto improve at playing jazz.
But, inevitably, there are certain technical elements of each one of these instruments that do need to be addressed that will help you actually play jazz better.
So, on today's episode, we're going through each one of these instruments. We're also going to talk about things that all of them need to do, and if you are not one of those instruments, you're going to learn something here today.
In this episode:
What all these instruments need to be doing to improve at jazz: 1. All of these instruments need to be learning jazz standards 2. Working on micro and macro jazz language 3. The technical aspects that each of these instruments need to be working on
Back when I was in college, I studied with a great jazz guitarist in New York City named Steve Cardenas.
Steve is a fantastic jazz musician, tours around the world with lots of different artists, and has recorded albums. In all senses of the word, a very accomplished musician and seasoned jazz player.
In one of our lessons, one time, when I went up to his house in Brooklyn, he told me something that was slightly disturbing, at least to the way I was thinking about learning music and jazz at that time. And that was, he told me that he had never transcribed a jazz solo before.
And this shook me because many of us understand that conventional advice for learning jazz is to learn jazz solos by ear, transcribe jazz solos and he didn't do that, and that kind of threw me in a whirlwind and kind of turned my world around.
So, today, I'm going to talk about 5 reasons why you actually might not want to be transcribing jazz solos to learn how to play jazz and improve your solos.
In this episode:
1. What is transcribing in the jazz context 2. Transcribing solos is time-consuming 3. Transcribing solos is frustrating 4. Transcribing solos doesn't always translate to better solos 5. Transcribing solos won't help you develop your own voice 6. Transcribing solos may not fit your learning style
The 3 Kinds of Jazz Musicians (And the Challenges They Face)
00:36:09
Having observed the playing of thousands of musicians through teaching online with Learn Jazz Standards, I've found that there are, in general, 3 different kinds of jazz musicians and I'm wondering which one of them you are.

I got a special episode on the podcast for you today. On the show is Leander Young from the Improv Exchange, and we had a fun little conversation, actually, after I recorded a podcast for his podcast, and just started talking jazz, started talking about playing music, learning how to play music, great jazz musicians, a whole slew of other things.
I know you're going to have a lot of fun listening to this one and you'll learn some things along the way.

In this episode:
1. Deep listening 2. Analyze recordings 3. Analyze your own playing 4. Establish jazz goals 5. Develop a practice plan 6. Visualize harmony 7. Practice visualization 8. Mentally reframe negative musical experiences
Back when I was in college, going to music school, there was a running joke between me and my friends where we would, perhaps after practicing or playing a gig, proclaim that we had finally figured out the secret to jazz.
It was a funny statement, I guess you could say. But the reason we would say such a thing is because, you know, at times jazz can be a little bit befuddling, like, confusing and frustrating and feeling like you're stuck.
And how do you improvise better? How do you get to the next level? How do you sound like your favorite jazz musicians? It would be so easy if there is just a secret, right? There must be some kind of secret out there that if you just knew this secret, everything would be easier.
Well, that was a joke back then. But on today's podcast episode, I'm actually taking it a little bit more seriously and sharing with you what I actually do believe today, years later, is the secret to jazz improvisation.
In this episode:
1. The 2 Elements to the secret of jazz improvisations: Element #1: Being able to hear music in your head. Element #2: Developing muscle memory 2. Strategies to start developing element #1 3. How listening, composing your own solos, and learning solos by ear helps solidify what you hear in your head. 4. Practice patterns, scales, and arpeggios to develop or improve muscle memory.
I'm wondering if you can identify with a personality type that I happen to identify myself with, and that is that of a high achiever. Now a high achiever is someone who just naturally always wants to be progressing, like isn't usually completely satisfied with where they're at in any arena of life and always wants to continue to go forward and get better, which has been a great thing for a lot of aspects of my life and has really helped me out and been a great tool.
On the other side of things, sometimes it's actually been quite the detriment because not feeling satisfied with where you're at continually can be a big problem and you have to learn how to manage that.
Well, musicians and creative types often identify with this kind of personality type. They want to move past musical plateaus and become better musicians continually.
So, in today's episode, I want to talk about six things you can do if you find yourself on a musical plateau and how you can start overcoming that, and also managing the feeling of being on a musical plateau.
In this episode:
1. New podcast music intro 2. The phase of our brand new website 3. 6 things you can do when you find yourself on a musical plateau: #1. Take a break #2. Practice something different #3. Get expert help #4. Ask a fellow musician how you can improve #5. Audit your playing #6. Start a musical project
I recently ran a poll of over 2000 musicians playing all sorts of instruments over on our YouTube channel. And the question was, "What do you find most challenging about jazz improvisation?".
And here were the options that we gave:
a) Creating melodic and cohesive solos b) Understanding and applying jazz theory during improvisation c) Developing a strong sense of timing and rhythmic feel d) Building confidence to take risks and explore new ideas e)Spontaneously connecting with other players during jazz jams
I'm about to reveal to you the answer and which one of those was the biggest challenge for musicians in this poll, as well as go through each five of these and give you actual strategies to improve on them.
In this episode:
The poll results show that out of 2000 musicians: 1. 51% said creating melodic and cohesive solos is the biggest challenge to jazz improvisation. 2. 24% said that understanding and applying jazz theory during improvisation 3. 10% said developing a strong sense of timing and rhythmic feel 4. 9% said building confidence to take risks and explore new ideas 5. 7% said spontaneously connecting with other players during jazz jams 6. The most important thing that you can do to create melodic and cohesive jazz solos 7. How to do the melody development exercise 8. Practicing with motivic development helps in creating cohesive jazz solos 9. Learn and internalize jazz language 10. Composing your own solos helps in developing better improvisation 11. Jazz theory isn't thought about during jazz improvisation 12. How to develop a strong sense of timing and rhythmic feel 13. The essence of improvisation 14. Playing with other musicians helps develop spontaneity in connecting with other players during jazz jams
Hey. Do you ever feel frustrated by your musical progress because you don't feel like you're improving quickly enough? Or do you feel overwhelmed because there are a lot of different things when it comes to playing jazz that you have to practice and learn?
Sometimes it feels like you're doing all this stuff in the practice room, but it just seems like a mess in your head and like you aren't really improving the way you want to. Perhaps a feeling of disorganization in the way that you're trying to improve as a musician.
Well, in today's episode, I want to talk to you about something that's going to be really encouraging and also really helpful, and that's the 1% mindset for high-achieving musicians. This mindset could be a huge game changer for you, and I want you to pay attention really closely.
In this episode:
1. What is the 1% mindset for high-achieving musicians? 2. How to overcome the loss of motivation 3. How mindset can help you focus on the things that gives you sustainable benefits 4. Know the mindset that I want you to start thinking more about and shifting towards 5. Can the 1% mindset be measured? 6. The 2 things that mindset does: - it propels you towards momentum - it starts shutting down unrealistic expectations 7. The mindset of compounding musical improvement
Taking Musical Shots to Increase Your Success Rate
00:19:10
"You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take".
Have you ever heard that old Wayne Gretzky quote? That's the greatest hockey player that ever lived. Or was it Michael Scott from The Office? I get that one a little bit confused sometimes. Anyways, we're gonna talk about that quote, "You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take".
In today's episode, we're going to be talking about some musical mindset and how we can propel our music and our jazz playing forward.
In this episode:
1. The quote "You miss 100% of the shots that you don't take" is attributed to Wayne Gretzky, the famous hockey player. 2. The importance of taking action and not being afraid to try new things. 3. The analogy between hockey and music, emphasizing the need to take musical "shots" or try new ideas. 4. The significance of persistence and continuous practice in improving musical skills. 5. The idea of experimenting with different strategies and approaches to music to find what works best. 6. The concept of learning from mistakes and using trial and error to enhance musical abilities. 7. The role of improvisation in jazz music and the importance of taking risks and reaching for new ideas. 8. The connection between exploration and creativity in music. 9. The impact of AHA moments and how they can lead to breakthroughs in musical expression.
Hey, I've got a question for you. What's your relationship with music like? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it perhaps a little bit of both?
Well, on today's episode, I'm gonna get a little bit vulnerable with you, share a little bit my personal life experience with music, my journey with music, and how oftentimes in this journey of playing music and exploring it and getting better, it was quite an abusive and unhealthy relationship.
And this past of mine with a bad relationship with music has greatly informed how I approach teaching jazz and the way I help my inner circle members and beyond so that they don't have the same relationship with music for themselves.
In this episode:
1. My personal experience with music and how it has shaped his approach to teaching jazz. 2. Developing a strong attachment to your identity as a musician and the self-worth tied to your musical abilities. 3. The comparison game and the constant feeling of dissatisfaction with your own playing. 4. The extreme practicing and the focus on becoming the best musician, leads to a skewed mindset. 5. The importance of dissatisfaction as a driving force for improvement that emphasizes the negative consequences of constantly feeling unsatisfied. 6. The impact of stress and anxiety on playing, particularly when comparing yourself to others. 7. Avoiding the same mindset and mistakes others made by promoting a healthier and more enjoyable approach to playing music.
The melodic minor scale is one of those scales that can be used to explain what we call "chord scale theory" in jazz improvisation. It's essentially like the mixture of a minor scale and a major scale, having the major third included in it, and you can do all sorts of different cool things, playing the melodic minor scale in different sorts of ways over top of different kinds of chords.
Well, in today's episode, I want to simplify all of that. Forget about all of the possibilities that you could use the melodic minor scale and jazz improvisation and narrow it down to three. That, I think, will be really helpful for you for using the melodic minor scale.
In this episode:
The melodic minor scale is a versatile scale in jazz improvisation.
Simplify the approach by focusing on three specific applications of the melodic minor scale.
Scales are tools for conceptualizing note choices, not the primary resource for improvisation.
The first application is using the melodic minor scale a minor third up from a half-diminished chord.
The second application is using the melodic minor scale a half step up from a dominant seventh chord, creating an altered sound.
The third application is using the melodic minor scale of the minor chord itself.
The melodic minor scale can provide altered sounds and substitutions for minor chords.
Understanding the melodic minor scale and its applications help develop patterns and muscle memory for improvisation.
Jazz musicians focus on hearing the scale's sound rather than analyzing each note.
The melodic minor scale provides pitch collections that sound good over specific chords in jazz standards.
Jazz Teacher vs. Jazz Coach - Which One Do You Need?
00:31:11
Have you ever played sports on a team before? Perhaps while you were growing up, and if you've ever done that before, you probably had a coach.
Now, I know for a fact that you have gone to school before, at least to some degree elementary school, high school, perhaps even college and while you were in school, you had what's called a teacher, and the difference between a coach and a teacher is actually quite interesting, and that's really what we're going to talk about today.
When it comes to your jazz playing and improving as a jazz musician, which one do you need, a jazz coach or a jazz teacher? And depending on where you're at and what you need to accomplish at this given moment in your musicianship, one may be better than the other for you.
In this episode:
1. The difference between jazz coaches and jazz teachers. 2. The importance of having both teachers to improve as a jazz musician. 3. While free resources like podcasts and YouTube are helpful, investing in music education is crucial for growth. 4. A jazz teacher imparts new information and skills, such as scales, music theory, and specific techniques. 5. A jazz coach refines and improves knowledge and abilities, provides direction, and helps players progress. 6. Jazz coaches are valuable for those with a basic understanding of their instrument, who need guidance and a pathway to improve faster. 7. Teachers and coaches can overlap in their roles, and individuals may require both at different stages of their musical journey. 8. Using the "B.A.D." framework used by jazz coaches to help students analyze their solos and improve strategically.
The movie Whiplash came out in 2014 and it's about this young jazz drummer named Andrew Nyman, who is determined to succeed as a jazz musician, and he's driven by his demanding music teacher, Terrence Fletcher, who can be best described as a harsh, ruthless yet highly respected instructor who really has abusive teaching methods.
And Andrew the drummer, a student at college, can best be described as an overly ambitious young musician who is completely obsessed with improving and, of course, fulfilling his desire to be a great musician.
And when this movie first came out and I watched it I absolutely hated it. I hated it because to me it seemed like this completely wrong view of what it's like to be an aspiring musician or what it's like to be instructed by great jazz musicians.
Is it really this abusive, horrifying, stressful, deprecating experience? And for me, I just absolutely hated the notion that this could possibly be true. Or let's go to another movie that depicts jazz, La La Land, where Ryan Gosling plays a character, where he's this musician trying to make it, a jazz musician trying to make it in Los Angeles, and his personality type is that of a very narrow, single-minded, focused, overly obsessed musician who has to "sell out" by starting to play in a jazz fusion band in order to prove to his girlfriend that he actually can make a living in the music.
So really, even though I actually liked some of the depictions of jazz within this movie and what it's like to be a musician, I still hated the fact that it seems like the characters are just absolutely swarmed in this dark cloud that is raining on them with self-loathing, with obsession, with all of this negativity. And then I realized why I hate it so much. And it's not because, unfortunately, that it's entirely untrue, as I originally had felt when I first washed Whiplash. Sure, absolutely very exaggerated examples of a problem that can exist.
But nevertheless, there's always a little bit of truth in things that you find so repulsive. There's always something in there that's actually correct. So in today's episode, I want to talk about the dark side of jazz musician culture and what can be done about it and how you should be thinking about improving as a musician, and the way that you want to enjoy playing this music.
In this episode:
1. Questioning the kind of jazz community one wants to be part of and the relationship with music. 2. Exploring the dark side of jazz musician culture, starting with the perception of superiority. 3. The negative effects of perceiving jazz as superior to other music styles. 4. The unhealthy mindset of considering oneself a superior musician. 5. The importance of avoiding the perception of superiority and embracing a more inclusive view of music. 6. The dark side of the "practice until your fingers bleed" mentality and its negative impact. 7. Advocating for practicing smarter, not harder, and surrounding oneself with musicians who share this mindset. 8. The detrimental "school of hard knocks" mentality and abusive teaching styles in jazz education. 9. Encouraging a more supportive and nurturing approach to teaching and collaboration in the jazz community.
One of the most important things that you can do is listen to jazz music, and that seems so simple, but literally you are practicing when you listen to jazz music.
You will become a better jazz musician, simply by putting on your headphones or putting them on the speakers and just listening to how this music actually sounds.
So today I'm gonna talk about 25 jazz albums that every jazz musician absolutely needs to know, absolutely needs to listen to.
In this episode:

So, what does it take to become a jazz master? I'm talking about someone who plays jazz at the highest possible level, feels comfortable playing in any situation, and always plays amazing music that wows other people.
I'm going to talk today about what I see as the formula for becoming a jazz master, everything that you need to essentially become really good at to get to that level.
In this episode:
- A jazz master is someone who is proficient at playing jazz and their instrument, whether famous or not. - Mastery doesn't mean reaching the highest level of expertise, as there's always room for growth and innovation. - What it takes to become a jazz master: #1. Instrument proficiency #2. Ear-training #3. Music theory knowledge #4. Mastery of rhythm and time feel #5. Having an extensive repertoire #6. Great reading skills #7.

Here at Learn Jazz Standards, our philosophy is that the best way to learn jazz and improve is to learn jazz songs, aka. Jazz Standards. The fastest the best way to improve is to simply learn more songs, even if you're starting at the very beginning of your jazz journey.
But there may be some holes for you for how to go about learning. Learning a song, especially a jazz song. It can be an overwhelming task. You may wonder what the best way to do it is, and you may wonder how to improve faster by learning jazz repertoire.
So, in today's episode, we're going to talk about just the best way to learn a jazz song.
In this episode:
1. Considering the time frame for learning a jazz standard. 2. Having a goal-oriented, focused practice based upon projects like learning a jazz standard in one month to improve exponentially over time. 3. Going through the L.I.S.T. process. 4. Learning the chords no matter what instrument you play. 5. The "Batching" strategy. 6. Applying one tool or strategy for improvising over a jazz standard.
Imagine someone calls you for a jazz gig that's to be performed in a couple of weeks and they hand you the list of repertoire, 20 songs, and you don't know any of those songs. What would you do in order to learn a lot of jazz songs quickly and is it even possible?
Well, in today's episode, I'm going to be talking about strategies to help you do that, to be successful in a situation like this, as well as some strategies that will help you in the long term.

Free Masterclass: How to Effortlessly Improvise Amazing Jazz Solos
00:26:01
During the month of August, we are doing a themed month called Free Masterclass August. For over the next four weeks, I'll be sharing with you different masterclasses that we've come out with in the past on Learn Jazz Standards.
Masterclasses that range from topics on jazz improv and practicing and theory and really just all kinds of stuff to help you improve your jazz playing. These are special masterclasses that were presented at events such as our Learn Jazz Live Virtual Summits that we've had in the past and then a few other mediums as well.
A special treat here for August to kind of end the summer here and jump right into September next month where a lot of us are gonna be diving a little bit deeper. And so I wanna give you guys a little bit of ammunition here to take into after the summer is over and start practicing.
So while most of these masterclasses are originally in video, they work really well for the podcast and the audio format, you'll still get quite a bit from them.
Today's masterclass is from our Learn Jazz Live 2022 Virtual Summit that we had. And this masterclass is called How to Effortlessly Improvise Amazing Jazz Solos. This is a masterclass that I gave at our Virtual Summit and I know that you're gonna find it really valuable.
Talking about how we go from learning jazz language, like learning solos by ear and licks by ear, stuff like this to actually bridging the gap to playing live, like going out and actually improvising so that stuff comes out naturally. Go over some really important strategies for how to do that.
In this episode:
1. There is a significant gap between learning jazz solos and actually improvising during live performances. 2. The L.I.S.T. method - listening, internalizing, singing, and transferring - is an effective way to learn solos by ear. 3. Learning jazz solos by ear is crucial for jazz improvisers to internalize the language and vocabulary necessary for improvisation effectively. 4. The LCI Strategy: The LCI (Learn, Compose, Improvise) strategy is a simple approach to bridging the gap between learning jazz solos and improvising. 5. Learn: The first step is to learn a jazz solo or part of a solo using the L.I.S.T method. 6. Compose: Composing involves slowing down the improvisation process and creating music based on what the learner can imagine at the moment. 7. Improvise: Improvisation is done in smaller sections or contexts rather than attempting to improvise over the entire piece at once.

Hey, my friend Brent here from LearnJazz Standards. We are continuing our themed month here in the podcast of free masterclass August, where I'm giving away different masterclasses that we've done in the past here on LearnJazz Standards.
Last week, we came out with a free masterclass podcast episode and we're continuing that on here in today's episode. So really excited to dive into this one. This particular masterclass was a masterclass that was conducted at our Inner Circle Retreat earlier this year.
Now this Inner Circle Retreat was an invite -only event for our Inner Circle members, our LearnJazz Standards Inner Circle members. So you'll hear a lot of stuff in the masterclass referring to the Inner Circle and the things that we do in the Inner Circle.
So of course, if that's something that you're interested in, definitely go check it out, lgsinnersercle .com, or you'll find the link to that in the description down below. And just to note, this was, of course, a live event. So it was conducted over Zoom.
I was sharing slide presentations and so on and so forth. So there are visual elements to it. However, the audio version of this is going to work just fine. You'll also notice as well during the masterclass that I'm referring to other workshops and masterclasses that are yet to come, this being the very first masterclass we conducted during this retreat.
And so while we won't be giving those away, especially out of respect for our Inner Circle members who pay to attend this, you'll still get a lot of value from the material presented here at this masterclass, 100% really valuable stuff here.
So I hope you enjoy this masterclass. This is called your best jazz playing ever.
In this episode:
Things that hold us back from attaining our jazz goals: 1. Doing the same things and expecting different results 2. Unrealistic expectations 3. Ineffective practicing 4. Loss of motivation
Steps to move us forward toward our jazz goals: 1. Step #1: Complete a monthly project that sets you up to win every single time 2. Step #2: Commit to taking 365 B.A.D. jazz solos 3. Step #3: Master P.B.R. practice
Free Masterclass: Orchestrating Your Musical Breakthrough
00:37:53
Hey, my friends, Brent here from Learn Jazz standards. We are continuing our themed month of August called Free Masterclass August, where I'm giving away some Masterclasses here on the podcast that we've done in the past at various different events and mediums just to give a little extra special, a little bit of fun here and value for finishing up the summer so.
So, I hope you enjoy it. We've had some great Masterclasses this month on the podcast. Already today, I want to share a Masterclass that was given during our Learn Jazz Live Virtual Summit in 2022 by a team member of mine, Brett Pontecorvo.
And those of you who are Inner Circle members know Brett very well because he's in the community coaching, and he creates some of our content for our monthly Jazz Standard Studies. And he gave a really great masterclass that year called "Orchestrating Your Musical Breakthrough".
So, a lot of us sometimes feel a little stuck in our playing, feel like we hit plateaus, or perhaps just don't really understand that we have so much potential as musicians. And so what Brett does is he talks about in this Masterclass ways for us to start achieving a musical breakthrough.
That "AHA!" moment where you feel like you're improving and you get excited. That moment that we're all really searching for when we sit down with our instruments. So without further ado, let's go ahead and get Brett Pontecorvo on to give this masterclass, "Orchestrating Your Musical Breakthrough".
In this episode:
Achieve breakthroughs and make progress in learning jazz with the following strategies:
1. Define a game you can win by setting clear and achievable goals with measurable victory conditions
2. Develop a strategy to achieve these goals by overcoming barriers like negative self-talk, lack of time, and lack of information
3. Take consistent action by practicing regularly in short bursts, making the process fun, and sticking to your plan
4. Acknowledge your wins and progress to stay motivated, and repeat the process to continue improving.
The overall mindset is to become the type of person who takes action and achieves breakthroughs through deliberate practice and persistence.
Hey, my friends, Brent here from Learn Jazz Standards. Here on the podcast for the month of August, we've been doing a themed month called Free Masterclass August, where I've been giving away different Masterclasses that we've done in the past here on Learn Jazz Standards, whether it be from our virtual summits, retreats or otherwise, just to, you know, it's the summer, it's the end of the summer.
We're about to go into the fall coming up here soon, and I just kind of wanted to unleash a lot of value and information for you to kind of set you up for when perhaps you're going to be more active in practicing and getting back to it, improving and getting to your musical goals again.
Today's masterclass, honestly, if I'm being really honest with you, I had a little bit of a hard time pulling the trigger on sharing this one with you. The reason for that is because this is kind of one of our most valuable Signature Masterclasses that I usually ask for an exchange of an email address to receive this Masterclass.
So it usually is free, but of course, with the exchange of an email address. So I had a little bit of hesitation just kind of sharing this here on the podcast today. But again, in the spirit of the Free Masterclass August, I decided if it makes me feel just a tad bit uncomfortable, then it probably is a good thing just to unleash all the value on you this month and just help you improve.
So in that spirit, I'm sharing with you our masterclass called Jazz Standards Mastery Formula, our signature masterclass. It really sort of gives the big overarching philosophy behind our company, Learn Jazz Standards.
How do you learn to play jazz songs? How do you improvise over jazz songs? This is kind of like our approach and really is a lot of what we actually do in our Inner Circle membership. You will hear me give a little bit of a hard pitch for the Inner Circle membership at the end of Jazz Standards Mastery Formula here.
But just know that everything I teach here in this masterclass can be used outside of our Inner Circle membership. Our Inner Circle membership just makes it easier for you to execute on some of these things.
And also, just a little note as well is, obviously this masterclass was originally presented in a video format, so there are examples on the screen at times. There are visuals, there are slides. And so while you won't be able to see those today, you'll still be able to really get a lot out of just listening to the master class in itself.
So, my friends, our signature masterclass Jazz Standards Mastery Formula.
In this episode:
1. Secret #1: How to learn jazz standards so you don't get lost or forget them. 2. Secret #2: How to start improvising over Jazz standards from scratch, from zero to hero. 3. Secret #3: The 3-Step strategy for Skyrocketing your practice results, all while practicing less. 4. What has pizza got to do with this? 5. Applying the L.I.S.T. process. 6. Less is always more.
The best way to learn jazz and improve over time is simply to learn more songs, aka jazz standards. But those jazz standards, those songs are made up of chord progressions.
The good news is that even though there are a lot of complex chord progressions, or at least seemingly complex chord progressions in jazz standards, a lot of them come up time and time again, over and over.
So once you learn one jazz standard in two or three, you're going to start seeing those same chord progressions come up in many, many other ones. So what are the chord progressions that you need to know for jazz?
In this episode, we're going to talk about nine of them that are really common and you'll see come up a lot.
In this episode:
1. The major 2-5-1 chord progression 2. The minor 2-5-1 chord progression 3. The major 1-6-2-5 chord progression 4. The minor 1-6-2-5 chord progression 5. Chord progression #5 is when the 3 chord replaces the 1 6. Chord progression #6 is when the sharp one diminished, replaces the 6th 7. The 1-4-3-6 chord progression 8. The chromatic 2-5s or sidestep 2-5s 9. The tritone sub of 5
So a common piece of advice when learning jazz and becoming a better improviser, learning songs is you should do it by learning it by ear rather than reading sheet music. And there are a plethora of reasons why teachers will say this is a good idea.
However, for someone who is new to this idea or who was trained to read music or use tablature, this could be a very scary, foreign, and frustrating concept.
So in today's episode, I want to go over ten tips that I regularly share with my Inner Circle members for how to learn music by ear.
In this episode:
10 Tips for Learning Music By Ear Tip #1: Start small Tip #2: Adjust your expectations Tip #3: Check your work with notation at first Tip #4: Use a slow-downer Tip #5: Learn more tunes Tip #6: Practice melodic dictation Tip #7: Practice ear-training fundamentals Tip #8: Mindfully listen to music Tip #9: Sing before you play Tip #10: Have a process
If you're a complete beginner to jazz, this episode is for you. If you are an intermediate jazz player, this episode is for you. And if you consider yourself an advanced jazz player, this episode is also for you.
In today's episode, we are going to be talking about the fundamentals of learning jazz. Whether you are brand new and you need to know this information or you're somewhere down the line, it is important for us to continually revisit what actually works and what we actually do need to know when it comes to learning jazz, improving as jazz improvisers and playing as we've never, ever dreamed we could.
In this episode:
The 4 categories for learning jazz:
Category #1: Fundamentals of learning jazz Category #2: Jazz Theory Category #3: The 3 Pillars of Jazz Improvisation Category #4: Practicing
Do you ever get that feeling when you're looking at your instrument sitting there in the corner and you just don't feel like picking it up? It's kind of a strange feeling because deep inside you're excited about music and jazz and you want to improve and you know you have that idea of practicing but then when you actually go to do it there's some kind of resistance there.
And sometimes the reason that is is because practicing can sometimes be boring. That is if you practice in a boring way.
So in today's episode, we're going to talk about five ways to make practice not boring so that you're having fun when you go to pick up your instrument and learn new things.
In this episode:
5 Ways to Make Practice Not Boring
1. Practice things you like to practice 2. Practice high-leverage activities, things that give you big results. 3. Add purpose to your practice. Don't just be doing a meaningless task for no reason. 4. Practice in a fun way, ways that are fun for you to practice. 5. Practice with a goal in mind or goals in mind.
How a Hobbyist Musician Created a Pro Jazz Album (feat. Christian Schrader)
00:47:16
"Music and the opportunity for music is all around us. And you can find inspiration in conversation or just the rhythm of something happening around you. And so I would just take these snippets, get home, and say, what can I do with this?
And I would start to sing a melody around those words and think about what the story could be that surrounds those words."
That was Christian Schrader, a self-described hobbyist musician who recently created a pro jazz album. He described this as one of the biggest musical accomplishments of his entire life. And so if you're ever someone who's thought about reaching this really high aspirational musical or jazz goal, but just didn't feel like you had what it took, this is gonna be an inspirational episode.
I talked to Christian and we did an interview and just went through this whole process, went through his head, how did he create this album? And there are so many great lessons along the way. I'm excited for you to listen to this.
In this episode: 1. Christian Schrader's "regular life" and his musical background 2. Favorite jazz musicians who influenced his love for jazz 3. How the album started and the little help he got from friends 4. The process of completing his music 5. On good attitude and the right connections
Okay, so this is the second time I'm restarting recording this episode. I want to get this right. So I am taking a break from the Learn Jazz Standards podcast, and I'm going to talk about what's gone into this decision, what this means for the future, what it means for you as the podcast listener, and why I'm actually incredibly excited about the future and you should be too.
And why this isn't goodbye by any stretch or any sort of way. I'll leave with that up front, but let's talk about that.
Introducing Season 2 of the Learn Jazz Standards Podcast
00:02:18
Today's episode marks the 2nd season of the Learn Jazz Standards podcast. Brent explains shifting the show's direction to better serve listeners by focusing on answering their specific jazz learning questions, with shorter 10-minute episodes four days a week and 'Fast Track Friday' strategy episodes. The host conveys excitement for the coming daily content and urges listeners to subscribe.
In this episode:
1. Taking Season 2 in a slightly different direction 2. New podcast schedule
In this episode, Brent provides beginner jazz musicians advice on the best standards for learning jazz improvisation. He recommends simple tunes covering basic concepts like modal playing, blues forms, and ii-V-I progressions to get started.
Key takeaways explain building blocks like scales, relative major/minor keys, and chord/melody relationships.
In this episode, Brent answers a listener's question on who was the first jazz musician in history. He explains there is no definitive single originator but rather an evolution in New Orleans reflecting diverse musical and cultural influences.
Key musicians mentioned are Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong, among others. Brent emphasizes understanding jazz history and listening to key recordings to appreciate how the music developed and continues evolving.
In this episode, Brent answers a listener's question asking how to use melodic minor scales over dominant seventh chords in jazz improvisation. Brent explains music theory provides tools to conceptualize improvisation, though the goal is applying scales flexibly to add textures and flavors.
He demonstrates three uses of melodic minor scales: over half-diminished II chords in minor key progressions, a half-step up from the root of dominant V chords, and the root of minor I chords. Key takeaways are understanding scale applications as devices for tension and resolution rather than playing rigid patterns.
In this episode, Brent answers a question from an inner circle member of the Learn Jazz Standards community, on whether musicians should think while improvising or just play what they feel.
Brent explains that the best improvisers utilize both conscious thinking to guide their playing and subconscious reactions to melodies and emotions.
He advises practicing 'playing free' without goals to enter a relaxed mental state, as well as deeply studying theory, chords, and licks in the practice room so this knowledge becomes instinctive during performances.
In this podcast episode, Brent talks about adopting the Batch Practice Method to improve jazz skills. and outlines a simple but focused approach to achieve measurable progress by breaking learning goals into small, manageable batches to master over multiple practice sessions before moving on incrementally.
Key steps include defining a concrete overall project like learning a new standard monthly, then batching subsets like intervals of melody, chords, or solos to deeply ingrain before adding more.
In this podcast episode, Brent addresses a question from Ed Robinson about the preference between a jazz trio or a quartet. Brent emphasizes the value of playing with other musicians and highlights the diverse challenges and experiences that come with different band settings.
He shares personal insights, expressing a preference for a quartet setting with bass, drums, guitar (himself), and a saxophone. Brett encourages musicians to explore various settings to grow as jazz players and musicians.
In this podcast episode, Brent addresses a question from Cliff Dunn about counting while soloing. Brent advises against counting while soloing, emphasizing the challenge of trying to coordinate two different tasks simultaneously.
Instead, he recommends practicing feeling the time and provides various strategies, such as listening to recordings, working with a metronome, and breaking down the feeling of a measure. Brent encourages musicians to focus on feeling the music in their bodies and offers practical tips to improve time perception during solos.
Brent discusses the role of metronomes in jazz practice, responding to a question about the pulse metronome. He emphasizes that metronomes help develop internal time and a steady time feel.
Suggesting online metronomes, he provides exercises for flexibility in time feel. Brent underscores the value of playing with recordings and adapting to different tempos, urging musicians to use metronomes judiciously as one tool among many.
In this episode, Brent addresses a question about balancing learning new jazz songs and retaining previous ones, especially with limited practice time. He highlights the importance of mindset, emphasizing that not every song needs to be remembered forever.
The key is understanding the purpose of learning a song for playing with others or educational benefits. Brent suggests incorporating periodic review sessions into practice routines, dedicating time to refresh and maintain the songs already learned.
Balancing learning new songs with occasional review helps strike an effective practice routine.
