Description: We'll use only 3 fingers to do thrilling blues & jazz improvisation over the standard ii-V-I chord progression. We'll start out simple - then we'll gradually add more and more stuff - finally we'll add the pinkie to the party ;) With the 3 finger motor system we take advantage of the physiology of the hand so that we can play really fast, firm and steady. Furthermore we have a simple and safe home base that we can always visit whenever needed. When knowing the 3 finger motor system it’s also quite straightforward to add the 4th and 5th finger. The 3 finger motor system has so many applications when improvising Jazz - I'll gather all my lessons about the system in this playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd8gNAxPUcJwDXKTlsToY9Iko3azFhg7R So far only 5 lessons have been added, but many more will join as we move along...
