We'll use only 3 fingers to do thrilling blues & jazz improvisation over the standard iiVI chord progression. We'll start out simple then we'll gradually add more and more stuff finally we'll add the pinkie to the party ;)
With the 3 finger motor system we take advantage of the physiology of the hand so that we can play really fast, firm and steady. Furthermore we have a simple and safe home base that we can always visit whenever needed. When knowing the 3 finger motor system it’s also quite straightforward to add the 4th and 5th finger. The 3 finger motor system has so many applications when improvising Jazz I'll gather all my lessons about the system in this playlist: • The 3 Finger Motor System
