Here's another example of using chromatics rather than scale tones in a progression.
Amaj7, Dm7#5/F#, Bm7#9, E7b9
Check the notes from this...
Amaj7=A, C#, E, G#
Dm7#5=D, F, A#, C
Bm9=B, D, F## (G), C#
E7b9=E, G#, B, F
Now, put all these together, you get...
A, A#, B, C, C#, D, E, F, F#, G, G#
Now, that's jsut one note away from the chromatic scale (missing the D#, but that could be added as a passing note between chords)
Tab (this time two chords per measure)
Amaj7 Dm7#5 Bm9 E7b9
|----------|----------|
|2----3----|2----6----|
|1----3----|2----7----|
|2----2----|0----6----|
|0---------|2----7----|
|-----2----|----------|
This one's not copyrighted. I got the idea from some old jazz ballad I heard on the radio (but this isn't exactly it, this has my own twist)
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."
