Corcovado – Melodic Approaches & Diminished Clarity
In this new lesson, I take a close look at Jobim’s Corcovado, focusing on how to melodically address the diminished chords that so often confuse improvisers. We’ll clear up several common misconceptions about the tune’s progression and look at practical ways to navigate the harmony with confidence and musical intention.
You’ll learn:
• How the diminished chords function in Corcovado
• Melodic strategies that outline the harmony without sounding “pattern-based”
• Simple corrections to common mistakes players make when analyzing the tune
• How to create smooth, lyrical lines through the changes
A downloadable backing track and PDF are included so you can immediately put these concepts into practice.
