So let's try improvising on top of the A minor progression. 2 2
First of all, a few things to consider, when improvising over A minor, 3 3
try to stick to the notes A, B, C, D, E. 4 4
You can hear that F and G are a bit discordant in this particular song. 5 5
When improvising over E, remember it's an E, not an E minor. 6 6
So what makes the E is the G sharp. 7 7
Try to get that into your improvisation because at least 8 8
that'll give you another note apart from all the white keys to add in. 9 9
For F and G, you can use any white note. 10 10
Okay, let's give it a try. 11 11
So start off with the pattern. 12 12
Bring the pattern in now and again. 13 13
Move out it, and come back into it. 14 14

Now, for the Bdim, there's your Bdim chord, first, third, fifth. 16 16
If you use a chord tone for a melody note, at least it's fifth, so go to the fifth. 17 17
[MUSIC] 18 18
I'm going to bounce back onto the E for the next chord. 19 19
[MUSIC] 20 20
Now is when you get the G sharp in. 21 21
[MUSIC] 22 22
And this is when you don't use any improvisation, 23 23
because it's too quick to change it. 24 24
