My masterclass at JVL

In this masterclass, Sam Dillon is giving you a clear, concise and self-consistent system to move beyond bebop and unlock modern sounds over standard harmony. The replay of this masterclass is a must for all advanced players seeking to add modern improvisation lines into their vocabulary.
A PDF workbook with exercises and examples is provided, you can also ask questions and share videos!

In this masterclass, Sam Dillon teaches you how to create a multitude of melodic shapes through scale sequencing. 

If you wonder:

• What is scale sequencing?

• What scales can I use?

• How should I practice?

• How to improvise with this?

• How to create a II V I phrase with scale sequencing?

You will have the answers in this masterclass. The PDF (concert, Bb and Eb) includes all the exercises plus an etude on Whisper Not.
