IMPROVISING CONCEPTS MIKE STE| By ART RENSHAW |. HARMONIC ANALYSIS: AFTER ANALYZING THESE LINES, | FOUND THE FOLLOWING IDEAS: A. Over any minor (1-63-35) or minor extended chord (1-4b3-45-4b7-9-91 113) play the Dorlan mode from the tonic of the chord. Cain" ee Clee be Ee Oe A eee B be de 2) (b3) 4s) 6 b7 8 (1) Harmonize the "C* Dorian mode to expose triads and diatonic harmony: I 0 Mm IV Vv VI vo Cmin” Dmin’ Ebmaj’ F Gmin’? | Amin’b5 | Bbmaj’ By knowing the diatonic harmony, we see that there are 7 chords. Since a chord = arpeggio, we are free to play ALL of these arpeggios over our original min" chord. In other words, try playing the Dmin’, Ebmaj’, F’, Gmin’, Amin’ss, and B bmaj’ over the Cmin™ chord. Example #1 (shown on the next page) illustrates this approach.

Try playing the above example and fisten. Sing the "C" Dorian over Cmin". 7 Take the triads on the “III" and “IV" chords. They are Ebmaj and Fmaj triads. Superimpose these triads over Cmin"*. Leam the triads all over the guitar neck. Listen and sing these 6 triads over the chord. Make lines from these ideas. IMPROVISING CONCEPTS - Page 2 | MIKE STERN By ArT RENSHAW 1. HARMONIC ANALYSIS: continues B. Over any minor (1-635) or minor extended chord (1-3b3-5-+b7-99-+11-913) play the Melodic Minor Scale from the tonic of the chord. Cmin® = C D Eb F G A B C 1 2 63 4 5 6 7 8(1) Harmonize the “C* Melodic Minor Scale to expose triads and diatonic harmony: I 0 m Vv v VI VI ‘Cimin(maj’) Ebmaj’ss F G’ Amin’bS | Bmin’bS By knowing the diatonic harmony, we can superimpose these sounds over the Cmin"™ chord. By doing this we get the “Maj” over the "b7” of the chord. This introduces the principle of leading tones. In this case the "Maj™ note ("B") is our leading tone. Example #2 (shown on the next page) illustrates this approach.
