Chord progression:

II: Em7b5 I A7 I Dm I Dm :II

On the track, you will hear extensions of these chords - as is common in jazz of course :)


Scale suggestions:

D minor scale - D E F G A Bb C (D)

(Emin7b5 chords and Dmin7 chords)

D harmonic minor scale - D E F G A Bb C# (D)

(A7 chords)


Basic arpeggios:


Emin7b5 arpeggio = E G Bb D

A7 arpeggio = A C# E G

Dm7 arpeggio = D F A C


Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (A7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale:

A altered scale - A Bb C Db Eb F G (A)

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the 7 notes of the A altered scale are the same as those of the Bb melodic minor scale :)
