If you've been studying with me for over a year (first year students can ignore this, you're still focusing on your fundamentals) applying the Chorus Forms should be 1/3 of your practice time. The concept is simple... take a lick out of the song you're working on that day and apply the Chorus Form process...

A = that day's lick

Play it as these Chorus Forms with a jam track:
AAA
AAA with Fills
AAB
AAB with Fills
A B/A C
Move your lick up/down an octave
Work with fragments of your lick

If this concept is unfamiliar to you, and you have been studying with me for at least a year, start working on Improvising Study 1 today. The students who do this accelerate their learning curve for improvising ten fold.
