Stop noodling in your solos!

Stop noodling in your solos!

Oct 19, 2026

Here is a recording from Wednesday evening at Manchester's Matt & Phreds jazz club in the UK with my trio performing the beautiful standard 'Have you met miss Jones?'

I hope you can here that there is NO NOODLING?

I am using the EXACT concepts in this solos that I teach in level 2 and help students implement into their practice in the solos feedback in level 3.

What are the concepts?

Complete understanding of the changes.

Practiced connecting guide tones with approach notes.

Practiced connecting target notes with bebop vocabulary.

Listened to many, many recordings to develop and steal language!

Everything that I teach here!

Darren.
