Major 7 #5 Superimposition on "Autumn Leaves"



This is an improv concept featured in Volume Two of The Complete Guide To Improvisation. The PDF presented here was used during a class at Berklee in order to introduce the technique and begin applying it. The concept involves outlining a superimposed Maj 7th #5 structure over any chord in the improv. The related Symmetrical Augmented scale can also be used, along with passing and approach notes to notes in the Maj 7 #5 structure.
