Hi there,

How are these 2 musical terms related to each other? Are they the same? Or completely different from one another, or just complimenting each other? Can a song have one without the other (most songs have ad libs anyway)?

I have been playing songs mostly on chords, and I'm just wondering whether which is better: to play the original ad lib of a song or to make an improvisation.

Thanks.
