The chords we are given = Am > Dm > G > E or C (optional alternates)
And The Rules are…
We CAN’T change:
The chord order (So, Dm > G > C > Am sounded good to my ears, but I can’t use it)We CAN change:
Tempo
Style
Genre
Play rhythm vs leadSince it’s not specified, we could change the number or bars per chord. Like, we could play 33 bars of Am, then wrap it up with 1 bar each for Dm G and E (or C). But I reckon that would be not in the spirit of the challenge. I also think if I were to try to create a 12-bar arrangement, that would be tampering with the chord order, so that idea is out. Or if I wanted to play like Am Dm Am Dm G C G C that would also not meet the specs.
So what options are we left with? I’m down to just playing that sequence on my looper, then laying down some lead improv. But that seems too easy. So at this very moment I’m trying some more creative stuff, like maybe give 7 beats of Am > 1 beat of Dm > 7 beats of G > 1 beat of C, then repeat, or ???
Have you got any interesting thoughts?
