Скачать или смотреть Exploring Harmony #2 - iv-ii-V-i-#6 - Mapping Scales and Common Tones for Improvisation

In this jazz piano, harmony and theory lesson, we'll continue our exploration of the iv-ii-V-i-#6 progression in D minor by looking at some scales we can use for improvisation over each chord. We'll go over each scale, and then we'll map out the notes of all the scales, lining them up so we can see all the common tones and non-common tones.

Next, we'll use our common tone map to experiment with some limited-range and limited-note soloing, exploring different areas of the keyboard and gradually expanding our range as we go. We'll also check out the F pentatonic and D blues scales and look at how you can apply them to the entire chord progression.

At the end, I'll demonstrate an unrestricted improvisation with annotations describing the soloing techniques I'm employing at each moment of the solo.
