Hey guys and gals!
I find myself in a bit of a pickle and in need of assistance.
I've been tasked with soloing over the B section or bridge of this song, and frankly I feel pretty lost. Normally the solos I've listened to online are over the main section or verse of the song and the bridge part is reserved for a more spacey and ambient sound. The conductor also wants to double the length of the bridge section to have a more fleshed out solo.
The rest of the piece is mainly in Bb minor but the bridge switches it up with some non-diatonic harmony that throws me off quite a bit.
I've been trying to stick to the melody as a guiding point but it really only consists of the limited number of 3 notes.
For the Eb and Gb section my ears tend to prefer the sound of Eb lydian and then going into Eb dorian which would be diatonic to the key of the song.
However for the C minor to B7 section I struggle to find an effective strategy to tackle the changes. I know that for C minor I can stick to basically all of the notes of the Ebmaj7 arpeggio but for the transition into the B7#11 I don't know what to play to sound coherent.
The melody for this bit consists of F, Eb (D#) and A so outline of the B7 chord, and for the second time around the last bar of 3/8 consists of an F7, and the melody goes to an A and Eb.
Since the bridge has been doubled the tension produced by the B7#11 followed by the F7 seems to never dissipate and I can't find a way to make it all glue together.
Any help or guidance would be immensely appreciated!
