Swing Jam- 10 Picks for Sweet Georgia Brown

One of the tunes we've covered in the Swing Jam at All 12 Notes has been the classic Sweet Georgia Brown. This tune is a great vehicle for some hot pickin'.

Soloing Tip

The tune is primarily made up of Dominant 7th chords. A common chord scale for the Dom. 7th chord is the Mixolydian scale. The Mixolydian scale is nothing more than a major scale with a lowered 7th. The formulas is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, b7 8.

Take a D7 and record yourself playing the chord. Now that you have a practice track try playing the D Mixolydian scale over the D7 you just recorded. Listen to how the notes of the scale fit with the chord.
