IMPROVISATION: Playing Inside the Chord Changes

[MCCrleone354]

Wait, if you play a B note over an A minor scale, why does that "create tension" if the be note is diatonic to the A minor scale? Is it because the B note is not in the A minor triad?

you want real help ?

watch Marty Friedman - melodic control

good video though

I just found your channel. I dig the way you speak during your lessons. That's important. In this day and age people have a hard time paying attention to anything that lasts more than 3 minutes so it helps if the teacher is friendly and engaging as you are.

Nice tutorial, I was told my friend about this but he didn't believe me, and said you can only playing the melody in a scale from what the basic chord is.

[AlternativeBT]

@GlediSound . Yes you can play it in E even if the basic chord is Am (only when you reach E chord). Listen to "The wind cries mary" by Jimi Hendrix, the solo part always inside the chord, some other Hendrix stuff also have solo that following the chord change but usually not in every phrase, some phrases he ignore the chord change and only playing the notes from basic scale, to get more tension/rock sound. Yes, the effect when you follow the chord change, it will sound more jazzy or ragtime.

@GlediSound E is not chord iv ... E is chord V

A (i) C(III) E (v)

So iv is D minor

in terms of A minor.

Spice things up,,, with varied approach notes on chord tones and 5 note arpeggios with one approach note.
