Let’s start by listing the four types of dominant chord that we’ll be dealing with and then I’ll take each of them in turn and explain where they come from and why they work. Stick with it and try to sing through each of the scales presented in the tutorial and really listen to the progressions until you can really understand the sounds you are hearing. The key here is to not panic if you listen to these sounds and have a negative reaction to them, at least initially. Teaching your ear to accept and understand more dissonance is a great tool and will expand your improvisational palette greatly. When learning new sounds such as these it can take a while for your ear to understand and accept the dissonance involved and learn the character of the tension and resolution involved in the progression. For the hardcore Jazz guys out there these may all be familiar but for some of you guys these two new chords may represent something of a challenge in terms of their dissonance. If you’re all ready and studied hard we’ll proceed! For this tutorial I’m going to introduce you to four different types of V chord, two of which we’ve come across before and two of which will be new to the vast majority of you.
If not, I recommend going back at least four or five issues and checking out as much of the previous material as possible before moving on with these concepts. I hope that by now you are becoming very familiar with this common jazz chord progression and have also done some work developing your altered scale guitar improvisation vocabulary thanks to the material from the last lesson. Hey guys! Welcome back to my guitar lesson column and this eighth part of ‘playing over changes.’ In this guitar tutorial we’re going to be mixing things up a little bit and concentrating on some music theory ideas that will give you a number of new ways to approach soloing over the V chord in our II-V-I chord progression.
