I am currently working on the Jerry Bergonzi book 1 called melodic structures where you improvise on the 1,2,3,5 of a major chord and dominant 7th chord and the 1,3,4,5 of a minor
So far, so good, I'm getting a lot out of it and mixing up the starting note and patterns etc, its changing some habits I have got into
For altered chords using this method you reflect the alteration so if it is eg C7 b9 , you can play C,Db,E,G
I have come unstuck applying this to Aebersold playalongs on +9 chords as he uses the #9 as an altered chord with all kinds of buggering about done to it: C7+9 (also has b9, #4, #5)
In the context of the Bergonzi method of 1235, and the Aebersold +9 style chord, I guess for C7+9 I end up with:
C, Db (the flat 9th), D# (the sharp 9th), G# (the sharp 5th)
?
