Got any tips for "soloing over chord changes"? Pretty much all the videos/tutorials for this kind of thing I've seen online are all just saying "use this mode over this scale degree" and/or "highlight the chord tones." Which, yea, that works... But, I don't really like looking at playing music in this kind of way. Whenever I improvise/solo I try to base what I'm playing around the main melody (kind of like a 'theme and variation' type of thing).
i think that's a great strategy
