00:00:00,400  -->  00:00:05,128
So let's try improvising on top
of the A minor progression.
2

2

00:00:05,128  -->  00:00:10,148
First of all, a few things to consider,
when improvising over A minor,
3

3

00:00:10,148  -->  00:00:13,045
try to stick to the notes A, B, C, D, E.
4

4

00:00:13,045  -->  00:00:19,128
You can hear that F and G are a bit
discordant in this particular song.
5

5

00:00:19,128  -->  00:00:23,253
When improvising over E,
remember it's an E, not an E minor.
6

6

00:00:23,253  -->  00:00:26,711
So what makes the E is the G sharp.
7

7

00:00:26,711  -->  00:00:29,813
Try to get that into your
improvisation because at least
8

8

00:00:29,813  -->  00:00:33,712
that'll give you another note apart
from all the white keys to add in.
9

9

00:00:33,712  -->  00:00:36,545
For F and G, you can use any white note.
10

10

00:00:36,545  -->  00:00:38,295
Okay, let's give it a try.
11

11

00:00:38,295  -->  00:00:40,087
So start off with the pattern.
12

12

00:00:40,087  -->  00:00:41,878
Bring the pattern in now and again.
13

13

00:00:41,878  -->  00:00:43,753
Move out it, and come back into it.
14

14

00:00:43,753  -->  00:00:53,753

15

15

00:01:01,670  -->  00:01:07,545
Now, for the Bdim, there's your
Bdim chord, first, third, fifth.
16

16

00:01:07,545  -->  00:01:11,587
If you use a chord tone for a melody note,
at least it's fifth, so go to the fifth.
17

00:01:11,587  -->  00:01:13,570

18

18

00:01:13,570  -->  00:01:16,753
I'm going to bounce back onto the E for
the next chord.
19

00:01:16,753  -->  00:01:18,461

20

20

00:01:18,461  -->  00:01:19,961
Now is when you get the G sharp in.

00:01:19,961  -->  00:01:29,961

22

22

00:01:40,390  -->  00:01:42,672
And this is when you don't
use any improvisation,
23

23

00:01:42,672  -->  00:01:44,378
because it's too quick to change it.
