Jungle Dance
It’s difficult to pin a style to this rhythm. I called it cinematic, but you’ll just have to listen to it. There’s a lot going on within these two simple chords.
The basic beat is not as fast as the drums make it sound so take your time with improvising over it. There several “common tones”, which makes things easier. As you start to play through this rhythm, hold out those “common tones” to hear how they sound over both changes.Once you start to hear their colors, use them a spring boards to start your improvisation.
