This is the first of a two-part series on linear improvisation using guide tones. In this series “Creating Linear Connections Using Guide Tones in Jazz Improvisation” we talk about strong chord tones/guide tones, which the ear naturally gravitates towards. Building lines around them will give your improvisation direction and a stronger shape.

Here is a link to Part II of this series “Creating Counterpoint Using Guide Tones in Jazz Improvisation“
