about

Key: D Minor
Chords: Dm E7(b9) Bbmaj7 A7(b13)

This is a reissue that I remastered! It's based on the chords from "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by the Beatles.

D Minor pentatonic or D minor blues (top grid) will sound great with this! But if you want to hit those changes with style, you will have to change it up for the E7 and A7 chords, which are not derived from the D Aeolian scale (bottom grid)! E7 is the V of A7; the awesome shortcut for E7 (or any V/V) is to lay hard on the b5 blues note (it's the 7th of the E7 chord). Then, when that A7 comes around, play a C# (natural 7) to give it that D harmonic minor vibe (that note comes right from the A7 chord). Make these tiny changes to the pentatonic scale, and you will instantly sound like a PRO!
