In this lesson, electric and upright bassist Jared Plane continues with his "Introduction to Improvisation" series of videos. In this video he discusses ways to improvise using Guide Tones.

Guide Tones are one of the best ways to learn how to improvise, particularly over chord progressions that are very challenging. Guide tones take a lot of the "guess work" out of solo playing, laying out a clear road-map that the improvising musician can use to get through the changes. Using guide tones for improvisation not only makes the task of improvisation a whole lot simpler, and easier to learn; but it also greatly contributes to ear training and melodic development.
