ORIGINAL: tele in addition to me personally I am very uncomfortable thinking when improvising, which makes using chord note thinking almost impossible for me, instead I most often use chord notes automatically without thinking, however if I am going to play jazz with modulation and chords outside the "parent scale" of the song I am forced to think in chord notes that don't fit the basic scale. All thinking that's outside the melody during improvisation is a loss to my playing as it takes alot of concentration to play as desired, basically following the melody in your head when improvising I recommend serious students to invest in Mclaughlin's DVD package....it is a complete course and can benefit ANY player that wants to improvise. It's pricey on line, but I just met him and saw him play a few months back, he was selling it for $50 bucks even...a ridiculous bargain. Any flamenco player that attempt the typical PDL inspired thing to improvise on rumbas rather than work out falsetas, would benefit IMO. We learn off the bat, jazz guys no matter how hi tech, have their "falseta bag" like any flamenco player. The purpose of their "falsetas" is not the same as flamenco, rather, "devices" that deal with stitching together tricky chord changes. A different discipline yet the modern flamencos have been doing this thing since Entre Dos Aguas hit the radio, yet they normally noodle until the fingers find something and don't even realize that it is simply "falsetas" again.
