| Re: Recording...
Hmm, as far as an answer on this one- there is only one that I can think of. Get playing and get experience improvising and 'hearing'. Perfection is not the point unless you are talking about playing the melody correctly. If you have a pre-conceived solo that you want to play a certain way, then it's not really improvising- especially since you are not involved in any sort of interaction with other people.
See the Tips for improvisation thread for ideas on how to grow as a player. Then you will eventually be able to play 'perfectly'. I think that there is an impression that what the great jazz players are doing is really easy to do.
This is simply because they have put SO much time and soul into what they do.
As I often tell my students, get to work- enjoy the process, and you will be fine. |
