Rock Improvisation

Rock

Here we check the classic rock song Rainbow in the Dark.

Rainbow in the dark

The part A is easy. We just have 3 power chords. A5 could be played as A minor, F5 as F major and G5 as G major.

Playback

Tapping with triads

Here we used the triads for each chord. For example, on the A5 we used the triad Am ( the notes are A, C and E), on the F5 the triad F (The notes are A, C and F) and on the G5 the triad G (The notes are B, D and G).

Here I used the A minor pentatonic to construct this idea. Pay attention to the connection that is always with a slide.
