Hello everyone and welcome back! We’re going to continue with the 2nd instalment in our series dedicated to ‘keeping up with the chords’. This is from a tune of mine called ‘Per’ that will be on a Lick Library Signature Sessions DVD. If you like what you hear and want to dig deeper please check out the DVD/stream at licklibrary.com
The chords:
Cm
Bb
Am7b5
Ab7
Amaj7
The scales:
The overall key center is C minor but with a few twists:
Here is a comparison of the scales:
C natural minor: C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb C dorian:C, D, Eb, F, G, A, Bb
C blues: C, Eb, F, Gb, G,Bb
Words of wisdom:
If all else fails, the C minor pentatonic scale always sounds great! Find a few licks and repeat them; it’s OK to let the chords do the work. Keep on rockin’, and we’ll see you next time:)
