I have now gone through and showed you how to play a solo through the changes keeping in mind the different notes that are used from the solo chord changes. To really improvise and make a solo a good thing to keep in mind is creating a story or creating a group of ideas that connect together so that it?s easy to follow.

I actually played through and as you could hear the different ideas connected two ideas in the first eight bars and then finished the solo at the end with the next four bars. If you go back and listen it would be a good idea to go through and try to play the solo on your own and try to hear how these different ideas have connected together and the slight variation between them.
