For today's episode, I want to give you a very

actionable episode, something that you can take action on today. And one of the best ways that

I think that you can really start improving your jazz solos and take the jazz language

that you already know and get it to come out on your instrument is to compose a jazz solo. And I've done this before in the podcast,

but doing this action can really help solidify ideas that you already have.

And since I don't talk enough about minor harmony on this podcast,

today's example is going to be over a minor blues.

So I'm going to show you a solo that I've composed over a minor blues
