A question for Kirk,

If someone plays say Amaj7, B11, E9, Amaj7, I find that I can play just about any notes out of the A major scale and it will suit. It's like because the harmony is so complex, the melody doesn't have to do much, you know? Do all of those chords contain the notes of the A major scale? Or is it just because the progression keeps coming back to a major 7?

How many inversions are you recommending to learn for each chord to improvise in terms of jazz? Would 3 cover it (6,5 and 4 root)?
