In situations with chromatically connected V7s, I tend to use blues scales. How can this be explained?
The lowerings from the blues scale on one V7 create common tones with the other. The blue notes provide a strong harmonic effect on one chord, end blend perfectly with the other. Example: A bluesy e-flat on C7 becomes the major 3 on B7. Study the Sections about Blues, Rhythmchanges and Thematic solos for more information. You also have to feel the blues though…
