Say your playing in the key of F#m and your chords are F#m A Bm
how do you start playing something over this. I know you could start playing a lick starting at F# but when you get to the A chord do you have to start the next improvising that with A or can you start with another note in the key of F#m such as C#. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't know if it will sound good playing any note in the key of F#M over any of these chords.

We know the notes in F#m are: F# G# A B C# D E Now the notes in the chords you listed: F#m- F# A C# A- A C# E Bm- B D F# All of these notes are within the key so playing the F#m scale will be fine, because all of the notes match up with the chords. There are no real rules when improvising or soloing, but as long as you have chords within one key, typically, you can just play within that key. In this case you can play any of the notes in F#m, and get a pretty decent sound. |

are there any notes that you would want to avoid while playing over a certain chord or is it any note to any chord as long as it's in key and it will be fine?

Typically its not going to sound too bad against any chord, but there are certain notes that will create more of a tension than others, you'll hear those and want to resolve them.

Tension building can obviously be a good thing in music to. Atleast when used correctly. Build tension, release it with a return to the melody line, or return to the root note. |
