    You must take the "A" train
    To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem
    If you miss the "A" train
    You`ll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem
    Hurry, get on, now it`s coming
    Listen to those rails a-thrumming
    All aboard, get on the "A" train
    Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem

    Прекрасная тема 'Езжайте поездом класса А', создана Хуаном Тизолом трамбонистом оркестра Д.Эллингтона, по причине открытия в 1939г. новой линии метро в НьюЙорке. Спасибо за историческую память о классиках джаза...

      @darthvader2433 5 лет назад +1

      Well since you are in the key of C, a few extensions are possible on the D7. Like the #11 as you mentioned since its part of the melody. In the backing track they're using the 13 as well.
      like wise the 9 would also work.

    • @TheLepesmeZ
      @TheLepesmeZ 5 лет назад +5

      D7b5 is the solution. :)
      You can play the Whole Note Scale to get it thought at solo so the notes makes: Rout, 9, major 3rd, b5, #5, dominant 7th.
      Good Luck :)

    very nice recording ; I would have appreciated a little change in the drumpart : ride instead of brushes, in order to get some variation of intensity !! very clean work anyway ! thank you !!

    • @guitareimprovisation
      @guitareimprovisation  5 лет назад +1

      Yes. My new backing track will be like that, but the brushes are great for pedagogy work : very easy to follow. The ride cymbal sounds more "real jazz" but can be hard for intermediate players. ruclips.net/video/jdEGVdgpSik/видео.html
