FROM LORIN COHEN:
Here's something that changed how I think about soloing over hard tunes.
Instead of trying to know every scale, every chord, every possible note — what if you just focused on 3?
3 pitches that work across multiple changes. 3 pitches you can actually hear and trust at tempo. 3 pitches that get you IN to a tune instead of frozen outside it.
In my new video I use a super hard jazz tune as the example — but the method works on any tune that feels too fast, too complex, or just too overwhelming to solo over.
