Chord Scale Trick

Al Joseph
IntermediateRockImprovising 6 lessons22m

In this tutorial I'll show you how I've taking the concept of chords scales literally to visualizing both chord and scale at the same time to help play through changes. Let's begin! Chord Qualities are important to understand and map out before proceeding on. Let's take a look. Maj7 - C - E - G - B (1 3 5 7) - Lydian C D E F# G A B (C) Dom7 - C - E - G - Bb (1 3 5 b7) - Mixolydian C D E F G A Bb (C) Min7 - C - Eb - G - Bb (1 b3 5 b7) - Dorian C D Eb F G A Bb (C) These are the three qualities and modes we'll be using so pay close attention to the video!
