In this lesson, Marla continues talking about her approach to accompaniment, this time in the key of A minor, or actually A Dorian. The main chords you’ll use in A Dorian are Am and G major. You’ll also use the relatives of those, the relative major of A minor (C) and the relative minor of G (Em). Marla also shows you how to use the F and D major chords as substitutions. She goes through “Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine” phrase by phrase, showing you a variety of substitutions she would play.
