Chromatic Guitar Licks And Other Dominant 7th Ideas
Chromatic Guitar Licks
The easiest place to start when trying to play chromatically is probably over dominant seventh chords. Many different scale types can be used over dominant seventh chords, especially when the dominant seventh chord is being used as a tension chord.
Virtually any note can be used over a functioning dominant seventh chord. A functioning dominant seventh chord is a chord that needs to resolve to another chord. Because of this, playing chromatically is relatively easy on functioning dominant seventh chords.
