Показать описание

Here's a fun and easy-to-approach medium swing Jazz Blues play-along in the common jazz key of C minor - for you guys to practice improvising some cool jazz solos. Remember it's essentially BLUES, so you can always start with good old C minor pentatonic!

-----------------------------------------

Tempo = 120 BPM

Key = C minor

Chord progression:


II: Cm I Cm I Cm I Cm I
I Fm I Fm I Cm I Cm I
I Ab7 I G7 I Cm I G7 :II

On the track, you will hear extensions of these chords - as is common in jazz of course :)

Scale suggestions:

C minor pentatonic scale - C Eb F G Bb

C minor blues scale - C Eb F F# G Bb

C minor scale - C D Eb F G Ab Bb

Ab7 chords:

Ab Lydian Dominant - Ab Bb C D Eb F Gb

G7 chords:

C harmonic minor scale - C D Eb F G Ab B

Or

Treat G7 as an altered chord and use the altered scale:

G altered scale - G Ab Bb B Db Eb F

The altered scale - or superlocrian - is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of G altered scale are the same as those of Ab melodic minor scale :)

The arpeggios will come in useful:

Cm - C Eb G

Fm - F Ab C

Ab7 - Ab C Eb Gb

G7 - G B D F
