We've just gone through the first four bars. And I've used only tones from the I chord and the IV chord. Now I'm going to move on to the second four bars. Let?s look at the chord changes. So the second four bars start on the IV chord which is different from the I chord. Usually you like to make a switch to differentiate so you can show the change of chords. To do this I'm going to start one measure behind starting in C and then show how it changes going into F. So I'll start in C and then play the next four measures. Which include the IV chord twice and then the I chord twice? Once again, after I am finished playing it is always a good idea to try to play through it and mimic what I am playing to learn how you can make a solo. 1, 2, 3, 4. That was a solo going into the next four bars and it also showed the difference between the I chord moving into the IV chord. Using the seventh, the flat seven, the dominant note, is often a good way to change the difference of chords between pitches.
