Dominant Resolutions Around the Circle Lesson

Description

In this lesson I focus on the last 4 altered notes of a  dominant chord that resolves to the tonic. I have written out seven patterns that deal with seven different resolutions of dominant chords. Each pattern is taken around the circle of fifths. These resolutions are vital to being able to play and solo over bebop tunes and jazz in general. By learning these  seven resolutions you will equip yourself with some sounds over the dominant chords that will make your solos sound hipper.

I talk in depth about how to practice these patterns and also how to work them into your soloing. I demonstrate all the patterns on my tenor saxophone.
