Who needs chord scale relationships?! In this lesson I show you how to use the overall shape of the melody to create interesting improvisations on the standard On The Sunny Side of the Street. I also talk about guide tone lines as well as some eye opening tips on how to look at your chord progressions in a completely different way. You're going to love this one! Great examples on the PDF in notation and tab!
