It's not important whether it uses scale X or scale Y over a particular chord symbol on a lead sheet. (2) If you can be aware of the 3 and 7 of each chord and of how they move when the chord changes, it will help your solo to sound like it really is a solo on that song's changes. (3) Pros have "big ears," so they can avoid train wrecks while playing freely. You're a beginner, so just try to be compatible with the chords. | |

| Feb 14, 2021 at 15:27 | comment | added | piiperi Reinstate Monica | What box? What I mean is, if you want to play something in the pitch range between explicated chord tones, how do you decide which notes to choose. Of course nobody forces you to play anything from any particular range. Does the OP have to ask about that specifically - how to select notes within this range? You are forcing yourself into the chord tones box. Why do you have to play chord tones? What sense does that make? If you want to play between chord tones. Is that a bad thing to want. What sense does it make not to write an answer if you have one. | |
| Feb 14, 2021 at 15:20 | comment | added | user50691 | That makes no sense. You are forcing yourself into that box. | |
| Feb 14, 2021 at 15:16 | comment | added | piiperi Reinstate Monica | @ggcg Could you write a whole answer about your approach? If you start with a default scale and then track the significant changes, you end up with at least one possible scale for every chord, whether you need it or not. No? | |
| Feb 14, 2021 at 12:42 | comment | added | user50691 | You don't need a scale for every chord. You need to track the significant changes or modulations, and apply voice leading. | |
