Lesson 24: Rhythm Changes

Been learning this some more in last lesson and prior.

32 bar AABA form:

A(i)   Bbmaj7 | G7 | Cmin7 | F7 | Dmin7 | G7 | Cmin7 | F7 |

A(ii)  Bbmaj7 | Bb7 | Emaj7 | Ebdim7 | Dmin7 G7| Cmin7 F7 | Bbmaj7 |

B      D7 |   D7  |  G7  |  G7  |  C7   |   C7   |   F7   |   F7

A(ii)  Bbmaj7 | Bb7 | Emaj7 | Ebdim7 | Dmin7 G7| Cmin7 F7 | Bbmaj7 |

Works with The Flintstones theme tune.

Some 3 note chord forms shown here – figure out how to make them work nicely with some voice leading principles:image

Some 4 note drop 2 voicings on the top strings.
