Question: in your video you speak of the Edim7 as the 3rd of I, being C major - but in the pictured barline it says F major underneath: why is that? Does that have to do with the C being 5 of F? Could you play F major notes in stead of C major notes over the Edim7 chord?
Hi Karen, to be really clear Edim7 is the 3rd degree not of C major but of C dominant 7. Therefore, as you say, it is F major as the dominant 7 is the 5th degree of the key. In this instance C dominant 7 is the 5th degree of the F major scale. A C major scale will not work in this context. I hope that helps! Cheers
Definitely parent scale approach. There are too many chords at any considerable speed to think of them all running by. However, I do prepare 'set pieces' which I practice at home which outline every single chord. If I play these in performance though it is because they are almost pre-learned. Hope that makes sense! I'll discuss this in a video at some point to give further context. Cheers!
