@@chellierhapsody2197, chords have to be learned in a hierarchy. Beginning from major triads, then minor triads, before learning seventh chords. It takes a bit of memorization. And no, this is not the way to start learning to improvise. It is a misconception that so many people have about what exactly improvisation is.

@@chellierhapsody2197, Improvisation is basically instantaneous composition. Which means that people who are naturally good composers tend to be able to do it with less effort. For those who are not natural composers, you will have to learn the basic rules of composing melodies and harmonies in the style you looking to improvise in (Jazz, blues, rock, classical composer styles, pop etc). Once you learn these rules, then you take little melodic and harmonic ideas and work on being able play them until they become second nature to you. This is the part where most people give up. But it is the most crucial part. Once the rule based ideas are second nature, you will be able to compose new ideas based on already established rules and already memorised material on the spot. And then it will look like you were just having fun and the notes just put themselves together magically.

@@chellierhapsody2197 Here's a few things to have fun while you're learning the rules : take a song you already know, and play with it. Add a few notes here, change the tempo there, repeat a few notes, change a few other. The main basic rule is just to identify the key of the song, and only use the corresponding notes (on a piano, you can put sticky notes or something on the keys to make sure you don't mix them up). Of course there are exceptions, but that's a good beginning. And then you have fun with those notes. As you practice, you'll get farther and farther away from the original piece. Of course you'll have to learn the chords at some point, and the rules of the genre you want to be playing, but in the meantime, it's always important to have fun while learning.

My teacher always says listening is the key! And learning what scales work over what chords/chord progressions are good too! The blues scale (1, b3, 4, #4, 5, b7 of the major scale) is very easily used over a blues progression. Mixolydian (flatten the 7th note of major) can be used over dominant chords. Dorian (flatten 3 and 7 of major) can be used over minor 7th chords. I've only been improvising in jazz for a little over a year, and I absolutely love it! My high school offers a jazz studies course, and it's really pushed me to listen, play, and love jazz! If you wanna find just a simple backing track of youtube and play around with it, you can try soloing over it! A good place to start might be C blues (I don't play string instruments, I play woodwind, so I'm not sure what key would be easiest for cello). If you want a realitively easy song to start off with, Blue Monk by Miles Davis is the first song I learned and soloed on. I realized after writing this whole explainion I got a little more detailed than was probably necessary. However, it's still useful if people want to try!

As a classical musician, jazz musicians are so awe-inspiring. I attempting jazz lab at my university for a semester, and I cheated through my two solos by writing something down. The other fantastic musicians I played with would close their eyes and play complex rhythms, easily change with the funky chords, reference well known jazz standards. My brain is still working on playing music that is already on the page, so I can't even understand how they get to the level of making shit up on the fly

But I don't have much issue just making stuff up.

I was so excited. He put a lead sheet in front of me, acted confused when I asked him to help explain it to me, and then asked me to improvise. When I said I didn't know how to improvise, he said "the rules are that any note can go to any other note, and any chord can go to any other chord". WOW HELPFUL. I felt so frustrated and stupid I didn't continue.
