In this video, I’ll show you 5 advanced modern jazz patterns that might feel impossible at first—but will totally transform your playing. These are the kinds of patterns that legendary players like Michael Brecker and Chris Potter practiced, and they can give you that modern, contemporary sound you're looking for.
We’ll break each pattern down and explain the theory behind it, so you’ll know exactly how to use them in your solos:
1) A pattern out of the half-tone-whole-tone scale
2) A pattern with chromatically descending major seconds
3) A pattern going up in minor thirds
4) A very often used modern jazz patterns based on fourths
5) A 3 against 4 pattern that is chromatically ascending
