Bilbo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Cycle of Fifths. Blues changes. Diatonic major and melodic minor chord scales Giant Steps That covers pretty much everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Giant Steps? We'll call that 'plan F' I think. Blues (with substitutions) then 'Rhythm Changes' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Jazz chord charts/sequences here [PDF's] Click on the tune name and scroll down a bit. Various artists performing the tunes as well.

lobematt Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah that's a cool site While were on it, I'm doing a bit of interval training too and I find it much easier if I've got a song to relate it too, so far all I've got is... Tone - Autumn Leaves 5th - Star Wars Octave - Over The Rainbow Anybody help with the others? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Flat Five - the Addams Family door bell or MAris from West Side Story Flat Seven - Star Trek Sixth - Inchworm or My Way Third - Stardust (OK a bit obscure for most here but it strikes a chord with me) Minor third - Smoke on the Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Vanilla' chords that one can then play with. Very rich site, soberly laid out. Excellent resource for all musicians, imho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
