In this video, I show you the best way to lay down solos easily over the great jazz standard Autumn Leaves. Using only the Bebop Harmonic Minor Scale will produce cool and smooth jazz phrases without a whole lot of effort. By doing this, you can eliminate trying to solo over each chord change which can lead to stale or boring sounds. Try using it over the tune and watch the magic happen. I like to call it the Golden Scale to use over this tune because it works so well. Try it and let me know what you think! Please leave me a comment or a question and thanks for watching!

If you want to take an even deeper dive into this song then try my lessons on 'Autumn Leaves' at the Guitar College Library. I walk you through everything step-by-step, very slow, and explain things more in-depth than here on YouTube. Most of my lessons there are 20 to 45 minutes as compared to just a few minutes long here on YouTube!
