Inverted Pedal Point on Rhythm Changes #shorts

#shorts

An Inverted Pedal Point is when you keep the top note the same while the chords underneath change.

Check out how we can use Bb as an inverted pedal point over the last A section of "Rhythm Changes".

You will notice some chords have to be modified as a result to make the Bb "work" (for ex: Bma7 instead of F7 in bar 4).

Try this in ALL KEYS!
