Chromatic Approach to Create Comping Rhythms

Download the PDF for this lesson:
Chromatic Approach is a great way to create comping patterns and rhythmic interest underneath the melody. In this excerpt, we are going to see how I used this technique for all 4 chords in the bridge of "Stella by Starlight"
​
1) G7ALT - Ab7 - G7ALT
2) Cmi7 - C#mi7 - Cmi7
3) Ab7(#11) - A13(b9) - Ab7(#11)
4) Bbma7(#5) - Bma7(#5) - Bbma7(#5)
​** chromatic approach is in bold
