We must
remind here the fundamental philosophy of musical composition and
improvisation.
Musical
improvisation is not a technical skill that one “learns to do.” It is a natural spontaneous process that occurs
first in the imagination. It is often a natural language of the soul, as we
have the language of words. But that is why it is understood by people that do
not even speak the same language of words
The main
goal of musical composition and improvisation is not the output musical piece,
but the EXISTENTIAL FUNCTION of the process of creating and listening the
musical piece.
Here is an example of mediative improvisation by Estas Tonne

In the next we shall discuss how 4-voice harmony can be realized on 4-guitar (or ukulele) strings, the role of the 4-string chords, and the concept of chord-melody.
The current approach is essentially the approach of a chord progression, with chords of 4 notes, and simple melodic improvisation within the chord where ALL THE NOTES OF THE MELODY ARE NOTES OF THE UNDERLYING CHORD.
