The Harp Reference: Jamming Over Chords
Improvising Over Chords Improvising Over Chords I think of the notes of resolution, and emphasis, and relationships changing with the chord progression. What I mean is, when soloing during a I chord, I’ll emphasize notes that are in the (e.g. blues) scale of the I chord–and more than that, I’ll lean a bit harder on the notes […]

Technically […]
