Having navigated the waters of Beyond the Sea (pun intended) numerous times... enough to be comfortable with the changes, I went into this week's lesson ready to go with it.
It was fun being able to jam with Sal on another song. Having him pick up a melody line on top of the backing chords and embellish some.
His challenge to me this week is expanding the backing chords into utilizing the melody in the chord changes. That is to allow the melody to dictate to me the chords I use as opposed to the chords dictating the melody. So, my quest this week is to take the F-Dm-Gm-C7 vamp and go about choosing the F chord but the 'right' F chord in my ears so as to support the melody. Do more active counting as opposed to feeling the beat by tapping my toes. Play the single line notes and fit chords in over dead space between the melody notes and, where fitting in chords over 'dead space' pick some sub chords to push the song along.
As short as this post is, the above is easily a heavy workload for me over the next week. Let's just see how it goes for me.
I think the next song I want to tackle is Ev'rything I've Got. I love that song. Just dark, humorous and all over a nice bouncy, happy sounding song.
