Lyle: to improvise against these chords? mrtbone: A mafor stratmaster: a minor Lyle: A major yes, for the first 2 chords. Then A7 and D7 chords need a better scale. I'd go with the A major pentatonic for the first three chords: Lyle: Because all three of those chords have A C# E in them, the A major triad. Lyle: During the D7 chord I'd go with the Am pentatonic because the D7 chord has a C natural in it, not a C# like in the A major chords: Lyle: Here's an example of a riff made from the A major pentatonic. The very last note of the riff bends to a C natural, right during the D7 chord. Notice the bluesy sound it makes: Lyle: Another way to make up a riff you can use is to play arpeggios for the chords. Lyle: A plain A major arpeggio is: Lyle: AMaj7 is just like that but with the 7th degree thrown in: Lyle: Over the A7 chord you can play A7 and A9 arpeggios. Here's A9: Lyle: During the D97 chord you can play D7 or D9 arpeggios. Here's a D9: Lyle: Put them all together to follow the chord progression and you might get something like this: Lyle: You all riffin' out? pete: yep stratmaster: this is pretty cool toper: I can dig it Lyle: yep! orin: very nice learned lots Lyle: Good!
