[@gissenduarterodas4124]

thanks! im gonna try them

[@juliansotelo3167]

Not necessarily all those changes of scales. If you analise the harmony well, you'll see that everything is mostly f major scale, since am7 is the 3 grade in the major tonality of F major and then we have the 2,5,1 and you could analise that bm7 being as a borrow chord from the minor tonality of f which appear a lot in jazz. Only in the Bm7(b5) E7, Bb7 and the last four measures where is bm7 E7 you cannot use F major scale. The rest is all f indeed. Good practicing !

[@ronapgar1240]

nkb1001 the song is summer time female vocal elto.

[@sand69]

@@juliansotelo3167 Right. It's a use of modal interchange between the minors in A. So you can use the F scale (A aeolian to be exact) but uses some cadence of the minor mode. Bm7b5 - E7 (b9) is clear borrow from the II-V of a minor (harmonic mode) and resolves on a Am7 instead a Ammaj7. So you can use a chromatic approach (bebop scale) to pass from Ab( maj7) to A. It's easy if you think it as a minor which can change the chords between minors harmonizations (A aeolian, A minor melodic, A minor harmonic) and you think it as "parallels flavors" in A minor sauce. This is a modal interchange.

[@juliansotelo3167]

@@sand69 Yeah! it is funny how you can find ways to solo in a song.'Cause for me, if I think in F with those changes that I said, it's easy for me to improvise.

A phrygian would work over this entire song except for the Bm7b5 e major where you would either play those arps or A Harmonic minor. Over the Bm7 to E the chord arpeggios could work ot even the bm7 arp would work. Then you at least have all the chord tones right there.

[@artsguitar]

Yes, play out of F Major for most of the tune with A as the root

[@elpastor7155]

[@luizclaudiodelima695]

Over the Bm7 works A melodic minor, it comes from there. For the Bb7 work the mixolydian #11, because it is a SubV/III chord

On this video there is B half-diminished in 4,8 and 16 measures, but I hear Bm7/11 sounds in this time

You are actually 100 percent correct about that Bm7. A lot of jazz adaptations have Bm7-5 (i guess because it sounds way more jazzy that way) but the original has Bm7. Personally i find your adaptation most precise and comfortable to play along with.

[@guitareimprovisation]

Thanks! you're right. I transcribed the original version in Cm and there's this Dm7 in it. And I also find it really cool to improvise.

[@kewlfonz]

Not sure about B m7 b5 to E7 in measure 4? I tend to play B min11 to E7b5 - This produces smooth chromatic voice leading between B and E. Also if you just play the colour tones, E is the 4th/11th of B so it's a very suspended harmony which resolves smoothly and easily to E7 with just ONE NOTE (A - Ab)!!!

[@guitareimprovisation]

The Bm7 comes from the Boney M version (I love this chord beeing not m7b5). I don't think E7 is commonly played E7#11. Greg Howe plays E7#5 if I remember well.

[@kewlfonz]

@@guitareimprovisation There's lots of slight variations on the harmony. Bm7b5 and Bm11 are virtually identical, however when they resolve to E7, Bm7b5 takes two notes resolving down to do this, whereas Bm11 only changes ONE note so it sounds slightly more 'connected' E7 harmonically... Very nice backing track btw. Thanks for making it.
