It is an instrumental piece. The main melody is played by a wide variety of the winds section composed of the saxophone, the trumpet, the flute and the clarinet. The piano and the upright bass provide backing structures. The rhythmic background consists of a jazz acoustic drum beat. The atmosphere is playful. This piece could fit perfectly in the soundtrack of a Disney-type animation movie.",2008-01-27T00:18:25Z,George Pfeiffer,Gus the Brussels Griffon documents a typical day in his life.

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 :)
