  • thanks!

    

  • @wawicho check out Emily Remler, thats a system she made up and it works because g# melodic minor contains all the jazz notes required. it's a different approach than in standard jazz theory though.

  • @guitar789 Why I can play a G# melodic minor in the G7 chord??

  • Holy fuck, i wouldn't mind being able to use some jazz techniques, but if i end up talking like these comments i'll shoot myself.

  • D Dorian would be the classic, but you can sub the dom 5th(G7) for a tritone to make it Db7...Gives it a lovely chromatic run down on the bass

  • @billface if u want it to sound like jazz - and thats what you suggested - its better to go with sth else than the key of the progression, i mean you cab play C major over a rock piece, a blues, a ballad, heavy metal, pop, funk and so on so its not jazz specific, I gave an example of jazz scales for this 2-5-1 below and everyone is free to try it out, enjoy! And yes, its legitim to play just one major scale over a 2-5-1, its just not common under jazz players.

  • @guitar789 Well yeah, you can do anything you like over the change. I was just generalising, because if someone doesn't know how to play over the change, then throwing loads of 'complex' concepts like melodic minor/whole tone would just confuse them further. We could spend years discussing what you could play over a this track

  • @billface No absolutely not. All you are suggesting is playing C Major Scale over the Jamtrack which is in key C. Thats what each jazz player wants to avoid for any dominant and minor chord. To sound like jazz, play G# melodic minor on the G7 chord for instance or G whole tone scale, then try C major Arpeggio with a few cromatics on the Cmajor, start with a Dm major7 arpeggio on Dm7 which you resolve into a Dm7 Arpeggio before changing to the second chord. Add a swing feel if you want.
