That's why it's called the 'chord scale over' method - it stays in the range.

If you're playing in C dorian scale, the incorrect notes (absent notes) will be C# E F# G # B (or bookmarks the notes of E major pentatonic range). Half-step below - chord scale above - target note (e.g. C# - E - D). In this post I'll show you 6 improvisation techniques for jazz piano (or any instrument).

This can be applied to any type of note length (fifty percent note, quarter note, eighth note) - but when soloing, it's typically applied to eighth notes.

Just precede any chord tone by playing the note a half-step below. To do this, stroll up in half-steps (with the entire colorful scale), and make note of all the notes that aren't in your current scale. Cm7 voicing (7 9 3 5) with single melody note (C) played to fascinating rhythm.
