If you use the Patreon app on your mobile, I recommend that you "logout/login" your account from time to time - otherwise the app will not update the changes that I sometimes make on this page for the links "Courses & Lessons, Fundamentals etc. The best way to navigate this site is, in my opinion, through a browser on a desktop computer.
Hi!
Here's a few lines over the first eight bars of the jazz standard Sunny.
The key of the solo is A minor and there is a backing track available for download.
As usual, you can find the right hand notation in the guitar pro files, png or pdf file.
p = thumb
i = index
m = middle
a = ring
c = pinky/little finger
Chord Progression
Since the chord progression is based on the minor- and the major 2 5 1 progression I really recommend that you watch my Jazz Fundamentals Lessons.
- The chord progression starts with the one chord, which is Am7.
- The next chords are part of a two - five - one progression in the key of F (Gm7 - C7 - Fmaj7).
- The progression ends with a minor two - five progression (Bm7b5 - E7).

Scale Options
Here's a few scale choices. However, there are of course a lot more options.
Check out my scale library for diagrams and more scale options.
- You can play the A minor blues scale over the whole progression
- Am7: A dorian or A aeolian
- Gm7: G dorian
- C7: C mioxlydian, C altered
- Fmaj7: F lydian
- Bm7(b5): B locrian
- E7: E phrygian dominant, E altered
Lessons to read & watch
To be able to fully understand everything - in the analysis down below - I recommend you watch and read the following lessons:

- Altered Scale
In jazz, the altered scale (altered dominant scale) is a seven-note scale that is a dominant scale where all non-essential tones have been altered. This means that it comprises the three irreducibly essential tones that define a dominant seventh chord, which are root, major third, and minor seventh and that all other tones have been altered. These are:
the fifth is altered to a ♭5 and a ♯5
the ninth is altered to a ♭9 and a ♯9
the eleventh is altered to a ♯11 (equivalent to a ♭5)
the thirteenth is altered to a ♭13 (equivalent to a ♯5)

- Chromatic scale
I have a lesson about chromaticism. Click the link down below
Chromaticism (Introduction)
The chromatic scale or twelve-tone scale is a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone, also known as a half-step, above or below its adjacent pitches. As a result, in 12-tone equal temperament (the most common tuning in Western music), the chromatic scale covers all 12 of the available pitches. Thus, there is only one chromatic scale.
- Enclosures/Chromaticism
In this étude I use something called enclosures.
Check out the posts down below where I talk and write about enclosures.
