Chord progression: 
 
II:   Bmin7b5   I   E7    I   Amin7   I   Amin7   :II  

On the track, you will hear extensions of these chords - as is common in jazz of course :) 


Scale suggestions: 

A minor scale - A B C D E F G (A)  

(Bmin7b5 chords and Amin7 chords)

A harmonic minor scale - A B C D E F G# (A) 

(E7 chords) 


Basic arpeggios: 


Bmin7b5 arpeggio = B D F A   

E7 arpeggio = E G# B D   

Am7 arpeggio = A C E G   


Next up, try out some more advanced colours on the dominant chord (E7) by treating it as an altered chord and using the altered scale:

E altered scale - E F G Ab Bb C D (E)

The altered scale is the mode which starts on the 7th step of the melodic minor scale, so in other words - the notes of E altered scale are the same as those of F melodic minor scale :)
