Paul, your podcasts are brilliant. So many thanks.

I'm fairly new to all this having thrown away all sheet music two years ago and determined that I'd play "by ear" (whatever) blues and jazz. I think I'm at last getting the hang of it with lots of learning standstills.

But an important question for me right now as I've never heard it stated in black and white ... when improvising with the RH, is it correct that I should use only (excluding passing notes) the scale of the chord that the LH is playing. ie, if in C blues scale (Cm7th), should the RH be soloing on only notes of the same scale? that would be C,Eb,F,Gb,G, Bb, C?
In a blues progression you probably then go to the F blues scale, so its it true that you will then RH solo in Fm7th - ie F,Ab,Bb,B,C,Eb,F ?
Then Gm7th etc

Thanks for your kind comments and sorry for delay in replying.

If you are playing the blues scale, say in C, then you should stick to this scale even when the chords change to F and G. The scale works for all 3 chords.
However if you get on to using the pentatonic, then you need to change the scale to fit each chord.

Does that help?

Paul
