Practice Tips
Emphasize your lead playing by using notes that highlight the chord tones, especially during the transitions between minor, diminished, and augmented chords. Create tension during the augmented parts and resolve them smoothly into the softer jazzy sounds of the major chords for an expressive performance.
  • Beginner guitarists can practice the A minor pentatonic scale over the track, focusing on hitting the root notes during chord changes.
  • Intermediate guitarists should experiment with the harmonic minor scale to add a dynamic edge to their phrasing, particularly during augmented and diminished chords.
  • Advanced players can explore modal jazz techniques by shifting between Dorian and Aeolian modes, utilizing chromatic passing tones, and creating intricate lines that harmonize with the sophisticated chord progressions.
