Tempo = 80 BPM
I - VI7 - IIm7 - V7
II: G I E7 I Am7 I D7 :II
You will hear extended versions of these basic chords on the track... as is common in jazz of course :)
In theory, you can play G major scale over all the chords, except the E7 where you'd switch to A harmonic minor.
Scales:
G major - G A B C D E F#
A harmonic minor - A B C D E F G#
Playing G major scale will result in G ionian (G chords), A dorian (Am7 chords) and D mixolydian (D7 chords) - all the same 7 notes...
NOTE: It's only a two note difference between G major scale and A harmonic minor scale - as the G becomes G# and F# becomes F - the rest of the 7 notes stay the same.... easy!!
You can also use G major pentatonic scale - G A B D E
(you could think good old E minor pentatonic as it's the same 5 notes!)
Next up, I'd recommend trying out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (D7/D13) by using the
D diminished 1/2-1 tone scale - D Eb F F# G# A B C
and D altered (superlocrian) scale - D Eb F F# Ab Bb C
And you can also try out the altered scale on E7!
E altered scale - E F G G# Bb C D
Arpeggios:
(G arpeggio = G B D)
Gmaj7 arpeggio = G B D F#
E7 arpeggio = E G# B D
Am7 arpeggio = A C E G
D7 arpeggio = D F# A C
