Targeting a Mode - Turning Scales into Solos - Part 6 If there are two main points that you have, hopefully, gotten thus far in each of our “Turning Scales into Solos” series of lessons, it’s that, first and foremost, a solo should be determined by the song, by its mood, feel and chord progression. The second idea is that a single scale is rarely the only solution to finding a way to solo over a chord progression. Getting these two thoughts into your head is essential if you want to be able to solo over any song. On the surface, this should seem easy enough. Okay, our chord progression will be in four-four timing and will consist of one measure (four beats) of Dm and then one measure of G. Again, it sounds pretty simple, right? First, we might want to think about what key this progression is in. Maybe it would be good to back up a step and look at the chords themselves. Given this much information, we could just construct a scale from these notes. It’s situations like this where we have to make a great leap forward in our thinking. Peace
