Jamprovise Principles

Jamprovise gives you the tools to find the way that works for you. Practice ideas are starting points — if one speaks to you, try it or bend it to your own needs. These are the standing ideas behind all of them.

Learn how to learn

The best takeaway isn't learning the lick — it's learning how to learn it. Once you know how you learn best and what works for you, you can apply that to any song.

The 80/20 rule

80/20 rule: always learn the 20% that does 80% of the work.

  • Master the V–I (or ii–V–I) cadence in every key. It covers enormous ground across songs, and once you know it, you'll recognize it instantly when you hear it in something new.
