Go ahead and try improvising with those pitches and find out how they sound. With that said, the pitches you suggest will give you good starting points. | |

The Bdim7: B C# E G, I chose the passing notes D & F as they are used in the melody after this bar and are in D natural minor, together they form B C# D E F G A (D melodic minor starting on the note B). The Ebmaj7 chord is not diatonic, it has the notes Eb G Bb C# which complements the melody which is playing a G. I can't quite explain the C#, but could it be there for color/interest? | |
