So........ I am making slow progress with improvising over chord changes BUT how do I keep track of time whilst doing so?
I have no idea where I am after several bars and I know I am not playing with a pulse or in relation to the rest of the musicians.
It isn't helped by the fact that I am playing So What - 16 bars of E-, 8 bars of F- then 8 bars of E-. I can hear the changes and even 'anticipate' them when just listening to the rhythm section but as soon as I start playing I am dead!!!!!
Any suggestions?
