All The Things You Should Play (#43)
- Page 2
by Christopher Sung (9297)

You can never have too much space in a solo. Using a motif and running it through the changes is one of the best ways to create a great solo. In this example, I just outline the triads for the chord in mms. 1-4, and then bu...(more)

Let's take another motif and take it through the changes. This motif spans over two bars so you just have to kind of do your best to make the contour of the motif fit the chords you're playing over...

Let's take the same motif and play it a bit higher. I think it fits a little better - mostly because the notes are similar to the melody line of "All The Things You Are" which has the same chord progression as these examples...(more)

Jazz reharms of blues progressions in a minor key aren't too difficult to get a hold on. It uses the basic blues form, but minor chords are used instead of 7th ones. The other main difference is that it uses a bVI7-V7-I tur...(more)

So, let's look at the first 5 measures. Our main chord for the first 3 measures is a Cm7. The Dm7 is thrown in just for interest, but the overall feel is Cm7. In measure 5 we know we're going to the IV chord (the Fm7), so ...(more)

For the middle four bars, the progression is simply VIm7-Im7, which means Fm7-Cm7. In the example below, we just take a simple minor motif, play it on the Fm7, and then transpose down to Cm7 and play it on the C...

Now, it's time to bring it on home. The main turnaround for the tune is in measures 9-11. A VI7 chord (Ab7(13)) is used in measure 9 to prepare us for the V-I cadence in mms. 10-11. The tensions that work well on the Ab7 i...(more)

Of course, your first question might be "...why would I ever want to know jack about these things? I bet that's not what Eddie's teaching Wolfgang..." True, perhaps, but it's nice to have options and different ways of think...(more)

The Em7b5 is also a versatile chord in that you can use it to imply other chords. For example, the notes for a C9 chord are:
<p>
<b>(C) · E · G · Bb · D</b>
<p>
Do those last four notes look familiar? They make up an Em...(more)
