    hello,
    complienti for this site .. it did really well.
    I just tried to caire a bit the structure of this song and wanted clarification as to make us all improvisation above:
    do you think is correct to play an arpeggio of Eb ST decreased over the A7 II-VI considering the tritone of Eb as A or sounds bad?

  2. Geravini Simon Says:

    Hello! Thanks for the compliments.
    The solution you have indicated there may be, pays a little 'attention in the use of the tensions and resolutions, however.
    Otherwise a lot easier to "play" and the good effect is diminished arpeggio on a C # A7. Have fun.
