When it&#8217;s 3-4 chords like Minor swing , it&#8217;s quite difficult to improvise long time, but not this one. Maybe that&#8217;s why this is one of my favorite songs.<\/p>\n<p>In this lesson, let&#8217;s improvise melody . try to play melody and improvised melody.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, let&#8217;s start!<\/p>\n<h2>Rhythm Guitar &#8211; chords<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hatena-fotolife aligncenter\" title=\"f:id:neyukix:20190516035617j:plain\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com\/images\/fotolife\/n\/neyukix\/20190516\/20190516035617.jpg\" alt=\"all of me intro chords\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hatena-fotolife aligncenter\" title=\"f:id:neyukix:20190602165346j:plain\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ak.f.st-hatena.com\/images\/fotolife\/n\/neyukix\/20190602\/20190602165346.jpg\" alt=\"all of me\u30fbintro chords tab\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Intro is actually <strong>1-6-2-5<\/strong> turn around with substitutions.<\/p>\n<p>(Not sure about 1-6-2-5 meaning? try this lesson then! <a href=\"https:\/\/manouche-jazz-lessons.com\/en\/diatonic-chords-for-guitar\/\">Must know diatonic chords<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Basically 1-6-2-5 in this key is C-Am-Dm7-G7 but I used C-A7-Dm7-G7 because chord progressions in this song is like this. Then ,I used substitutions like this. C\u2192Em7 , A7\u2192Eb7#9 , G7\u2192Db7#9.<\/p>\n<p>Why like this ? When you hear the note in the chords then you will understand.<\/p>\n<p>Notes in a C is C <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">E G<\/span> and Notes in a Em7 is <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">E G<\/span> B D (almost same)<\/p>\n<p>Notes in a A7b5 is A <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">C# Eb G<\/span> and Notes in a Eb7#9 is <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">C# Eb G<\/span> F#.<\/p>\n<p>Notes in a G7b5 is G <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">B Db F<\/span> and notes in a Eb7#9 is <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">B Db F<\/span> E.<\/p>\n<p>But you can just remember like this.
