There are so many different things that are involved in comping.

    Harnessing Pure Musical Expression (Improv Session with Brent)
    Welcome to episode 212 of the LJS Podcast where today I get behind my guitar and have an improv session. During trying times, it can be helpful to use music as an outlet to express things that you may not be able to in words or thoughts. In this episode, I perform an improvisation for you that I hope not only you will enjoy, but feel inspired to do the same. During times of uncertainty, music has the potential to be a healing force and to help us express our emotions, to get things out to the table that maybe we just wouldn't be able to do otherwise through the written word or through language. There's something about music and the expression through music that reaches some part of our soul that as musicians, we are very lucky and fortunate to be able to tap into. But sometimes music and studying jazz, all the things we talked about in this podcast, can be a little stressful, too. Like you are actually diving deep into concepts and putting pressure on yourself to get better and better. But today I want to live by example here and I just want to create freely for you and hopefully, you will do the same at the end of this episode as well.  In this episode:1. How music can be a powerful outlet during trying times 2. I perform an improvisation session Important Links:LJS Inner Circle MembershipFree Guide to learn standards by ear: Learn Jazz Standards the Smart WayLearn Jazz Standards Inner Circle: Get 50% off your first month!

    Bonus Episode: Special Message from Brent About COVID-19
    Today's episode is a special message from me to the Learn Jazz Standards family about how we can get through these trying times together, and come out the other side stronger and more motivated than ever before. Hey, what's up, Learn Jazz Standards family! I wanted to record this bonus episode today just to say, hey listen, we are all in this together. I know that we are going through a hard time here in the world with the COVID-19 pandemic. For a lot of us, life has changed quite dramatically. From my listeners in Japan, from my listeners in the UK, from my listeners in the United States, in Canada, and all over the world. It's something that affected all of us and I know it is a time when we are feeling a lot of anxiety, some pain, some hurt, and a lot of fear about what the future holds. And what I want to do and use this platform today is not necessarily to talk about music and all that stuff that I always talk about on this show. But rather to say, in solidarity, I am here for you. In this episode:1. Default to Gratitude 2. Default to Generosity 3. Default to Community 4. Default to Goal Setting Thanks for listening to this episode of the Learn Jazz Standards Podcast.

I can go to a jam session or even a gig and play it with other musicians. But then, what do I do with it after that? How do I make it my own? How do I give it my own voice and how can I develop that voice through these jazz standards so it sounds like me playing it so that there is something special I'm bringing to the table.

Full of stuff on how to become a better jazz improviser and a great musician in general.

I know you are going to learn tons from it today.  In this episode:1. How Mike got started playing music 2. How Mike learned every Charlie Parker head 3.
