The first thing I do when I learn a lick or line is to figure out where it will work other than the context in which I learned it ...
That's part of making it your own. The dominant to minor conversion thing is probably the easiest to grasp and the most immediately apparent i.e., anything you play over a Cm7 chord will work beautifully over an F7, F9 or F13. Almost anytime I see a dominant chord I think minor up a 5th. Jazzers used to call it 'minor conversion'. I don't normally advocate 'cheater' type approaches but if you want to INSTANTLY get jazzy sound on a blues play dorian up a 5th on one, two or all three chords. Example: A7 = E dorian, D7 = A dorian, E7 = B dorian *Caveat - it's still important to know which chord you're actually on for resolving purposes.

QUOTE (Matt Warnock Guitar @ Jan 20 2013, 06:28 PM)  For sure, the minor conversion approach works great. Martino uses that a ton in his playing/teaching. I like doing it backwards too. So if you have a Cm7 chord, you play F7 ideas. Works really well to spice up m7 changes and you can use all of your dom 7 material in a new context. Pat Martino was the first guy that I realized was doing it in an obvious way. When I started to transcribe him it was a major 'lightbulb' moment. Your Am 'challenge' lick I was actually approaching from a D7 and Dsus POV. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

- that can be used in a lot of contexts as well as being able to sing something in my head and be able to play that on spot. I've seen Andreas Oberg do this kind of thing live and he was very good at it. He was singing and playing the same thing with the guitar and the voice and he was alternating between the two very graciously.

Yeah it's tough. I can do it with my guitar, but my general singing voice is less than desired lol
