Key of D MajorClick Here for an MP3 of this link
Using the notes of the D Major scale, play around with the notes and make up rhythms that become a melody for this background track. Use these ideas to help you.
1. Play just open D in different rhythms to sync with the track. Mistakes are not possible, so have fun with it! 2. Play just open D and open A in different rhythms to sync with the track. Mistakes are not possible, so have fun with it! 3. Play D, E, and F# in different rhythms with this track with all quarter notes. You are creating the melody, so try to think of good ways to make each idea feel finished (maybe ending on D when your phrase is done). 4. Play D, E, F#, G, A, and B like #3. This is just to broaden your amount of possibilities your melody can have. 5. Use all notes of the D Major Scale to create a melody. Keep to quarter notes to keep rhythm with the track. 6. Add some of the rhythms you did in #1 and #2 with the notes from #3, #4, or #5. You are a true improvisor if you feel comfortable at this level! Click Here for an MP3 of this link
