Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

October 27, 2013 | Minor 7th chord streams. So What?

Almost a year ago we introduced some effective m7 chord patterns that could be run up (and down!) the neck as chord streams. Not only do they sound cool, they are the key to comping on some great modal jazz classics, like So What, Impressions, Maiden Voyage, Footprints, Milestones, and Take Five.

It's simple. Learn the inversions--you don't even have to worry about the labels. Insert an inert filler chord and you can play any minor modal jazz classic like a boss.

Enjoy!
