Chord Soup

 

Solos are taken in the C Dorian scale (Bflat Major starting on the second note). You can also hit on the odd Gflat note. The only note to avoid explicitly is the E.The tune is based on a Cminor11 chord. From this, the following chords can be derived from it, and will always fit:

• Cm
• Cm9
• Eflat
• Eflat M7
• Gm
• Gm7
• Bflat M7
• Dm

This is just the beginning. There are a bunch of inversions that will give you some juicy sixth chords and suspensions. The recipe calls for just trying to flesh out the big minor eleventh chord by expressing parts of it against other parts of the chord. The Bass part can focus on playing the C minor triad for the most part, but this is a recipe, so you’re allowed to mess with the ingredients.

Find as many musicians as you can. Spice liberally and cook for as many minutes as possible.

It might sounds like shit for all I know, but theoretically, it should work nicely.

I’ll let you know how it tastes.
