To LC Jones: In symphonic music there are plenty of key changes, and I asssume other genres too. The thing is, if I understand key changes, I can start using them in song writing. One key is limiting, when you control all keys you are free.

To Fong: Yes, you do need to know the chord tones that are coming. And I need to know the scale as well.

To fretsource: The way I improvise starts with the scale and takes chord tones out of that scale. If I know what scale I should be playing, I also know all the chord tones in that key and all of the notes within that key. So the main issue is changing from one scale to another, while at the same time paying attention and remembering which is the new chord I'm playing.

I just want to know how you guys do it.
