"Hit The Road Jack" in a-minor!
When you're playing along with this track, make sure to watch out for the G# in the E-major chord! This song is in a-minor which usually has no sharps or flats, but sometimes they add G# to make the Fifth chord sound Major instead of minor!
I started by playing the notes on the screen.
Then I played the notes a 3rd above them with a slightly new rhythm.
Then I played the notes a 5th above them with some occasional scale segments.
Then I played more or less the rhythm of the melody but with different notes. "Right rhythm, wrong notes."
Then I explored more of the same, but mixed up played the rhythm of the melody and making up a complimentary rhythm. I explored mixed in more blue notes instead of just the rhythm notes.
I dug the run at 1:33 but wish it had cleaner timing.
It was fun to explore exaggerated big articulation at the end!
Will you try some of these techniques?
