Category: Acoustic, Jazz/Fusion
Description: Cara's Van
In this play along we use the chord progression similar to the classic tune made famous by Ellington. This
melody is in the D Harmonic minor scale. When on dominant chord, you can use the I of V7 Harmonic Minor
Scale starting on the 5th step (A). For example The A7th chord is the V chord of D or in this case D minor.
Playing the D Harmonic Minor Scale preferably starting on A, This is a great gypsy sounding tonal center.
When playing melody concentrate on good tone and using expression such as vibrato, bends, pull offs,
etc.
You can also experiment with playing the melody in different areas of the fingerboard. Each string has a
different sound. Being able to utilize the different sounds an A note can have depending on what string you
play it on is great knowledge to have when creating music.
Or, you can play a harmony line by playing the note a third above or below the melody note staying within
the D Harmonic Minor Scale.
When playing the chords please access the simple chord chart first to play the chords in their simplest
form. You can experiment with dominant flat 9 chords or diminished chords. Also dominant sharp 5 chords
work well resolving to the minor 9. A7#5 to
D minor 9.
If you look to the Alternate Chord Chart you will notice each section has different set of chord
substitutions. These are only suggestions for what you can play. We urge you to experiment with different
combinations of substitutions and most importantly follow your ear. Play the inversion that sounds best
to you.
