Soloists That Follow Chord Tones Better - 04/10/24 01:09 PM
I’m trying to come up with interesting uses of the diminished scale over a standard Jazz / Blues progression. The clarinet soloist does a really good job, but a lot of other soloists will just play the I / b3 notes.
Using the multi riff feature, I change chords in those verses so the soloist will follow those chords. After he’s done I change the chords back to the original progression. For example: at the II-V I change the II 2 to the #IV Dim and the V to the IV dim. It’s a great substitution if played correctly.
