Playing outside of the original key can be used to add tension and interest to your improvisations.
The only rule to follow is to remember to get back in to the original key at some point to resolve whatever musical idea you're developping.
This technique can be used in any style of music.
The following track is in C Dorian.
Try to come up with your own licks and use them in your next improvisations.
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
