In this pack, Mike Pope takes a deep look at how to improvise over chord changes that are moving chromatically. These harmonic situations can be challenging even for seasoned players, and Mike’s approach will help you to play over chromatic changes without resorting to patterns or otherwise repeating lines. Each lesson in this pack builds on the previous lessons so be sure to spend some time with each concept before moving ahead.
