Bluesy improv

Just dug up this old attempt at a blues style. It's surprising looking back at it how I was able to bring the part at 4:11 out of nowhere.

I know this is one of your older videos.  Have you been doing anything recently with stride patterns?  Your latest recording  had nice section that sort of referenced such style, and it seems like you have made a lot of progress with maintaining groove. 

4:11 was cool.  Part of the joy of improvisation is when moments like this happen.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that I've gotten better at maintaining groove. I have actually never practiced it in the meantime, or even listened to much jazz. Fascinating.

Your timing is very good and you use the blues scale well. Try using the 3 basic chords of the 12 bar blues sequence. In C these are C7, F7 and G7.
