Hey!
I'm working on soloing over some of the old Charlie Parker heads like "Now's the Time" and I am getting really bored with my own solos. The tune is in D for alto sax and i have been playing the D major scale with a b7 along with outlining the chords but i find that I am playing very similar things every time I play. I feel like I might be too focused on showing that I know the chords rather than creating a melodic solo. I am trying to play more melodically but I don't know how. For some reason, I have never really been able to solo well on jazz blues changes. Does anyone have any advice for me??? It would be much appriciated. I've sort of been in a musical slump lately 🙁
THANKS,
Jake
