I kinda always had little hints of the A and B changes but I've tried to incorporate more of that into this one - hopefully w/o overdoing it. The trick is to have it not sound so obvious and for it to flow smoothly.Bravo, another great vid.

I subscribed to you

You can tell Jerry obviously uses more than 5 notes. Situation is pretty common, definitely not just w/ BEW. A couple others from the top of my head are TLEO and Second that Emotion
The "missing" two major scale notes are the 4 and 7 (A and D#), and it seems logical to me to use the 4 over the IV chord (A) and 7 over the V (B), and of course passing tones too. Unfortunately, I have a hard time translating these ideas into practice without losing the feel of the great melody.
You got any suggestions? I know its a vague question but any help would be great. I feel like this is my main roadblock in lead playing right now.
