" Hi! My name is John Armstrong with expertvillage.com. I am a professional guitar instructor and today we will be discussing intermediate jazz guitar. Next I'd like to discuss soloing over that type of chord progression. Here we are in a chord progression where you got a 1, 4, 5 and 1. Perfect opportunity to intertwine your three different types of minor scales. Your pentatonic and your natural minor, really which are one and the same and then your harmonic minor scale, your B harmonic scale. Over this chord progression, starting here with the B minor 7. I probably tend to use just my minor pentatonic scale because it kind of matches the notes in the chord. When I move over to my 4 chord, I like to throw a little bit of the natural minor scale in there, because I can match the flatted 3rd note in the key E minor 7 chord... back to the pentatonic. Now here at the point of the most dramatic point, the G 7 and F 7, I will usually throw in a little bit of the harmonic minor. "
