Ideas for Your Practice

1. Connect the Guide Tones: Try creating melodic lines that smoothly connect the 3rd and 7th of each chord.
2. Target the Minor II-V-I: Focus on the Am7(b5) - D7 - Gm7 progression in the B section and apply your favorite licks.
3. Motivic Development: Take the first four notes of the melody and try to build an entire solo chorus using only variations of that motif.
