Making Pentatonic Scales Musical Over Just Friends (Analysis and Improv Lesson)
About this episode
Welcome to episode 167 of the LJS Podcast where we continue "Jazz Standards Month."
My subscribers often wonder what scales to play over jazz standards to help them improvise. However, scales are rarely the answer to creating great melodic solos. With that being said, they should not be discarded and in the right hands can be used to create great music.
In this episode, we take the pentatonic scale and apply it to the jazz standard Just Friends.
