Study Question and Answer Minor after studying the Question & Answer I IV V I Chord Changes.[/features_box_yellow]

To play the Im IVm V7 Im Q & A – first, study various minor scales and minor-type modes. For instance: Melodic (b3), Natural b3, b6 & b7), & Harmonic Minor (b3 & b6). Also use the Dorian (b3 & b7) and Phrygian (b2 b3 b6 b7) Modes. Practice and familiarize yourself with these scales first.

Then, make melodies using your ear. If you play the Bb . . . then avoid the B natural. If you play the Ab . . . then avoid the A natural. Always use the flatted third. You often use the harmonic minor scale from the I chord when playing melodies over the V7 chord.

When you change the chord patterns – you are “forced” to change your melodies accordingly. Use different chord patterns in your practice. Once you have practiced the sample chord patterns . . . make up your own. You can also take the chord pattern from any “Question” and mix it with the chord pattern from any “Answer”. Of course . . . don’t change the chord pattern once you have chosen it.

Study Question and Answer Added tones after studying the V7 to I Accompaniments.[/features_box_yellow]

We started Q & A by playing simply a single bass note and single melody note. Now, use your “ears” to add in additional tones. They can be chord tones, suspended tones, thirds, sixths, etc. You can also move the bass line to another chord tone, such as the third. After you have practiced adding in a single extra note (that would give you three notes) . . . then, use “open voicings” and add in additional tones. (Open Voicings will be discussed in another lesson.)
