You must learn to play scales over chords. Chords are built from scale tones. Chords are the results of harmonizing a scale, placing notes in intervals of thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, etc. on to top on each other. By playing notes of the scale of which the chord is constructed, you will learn to relate scales and chords together. When the proper scale is played over a given chord progression, we will not play any bad notes.
Here are the key elements you must understand and apply correctly in order to improvise:
You must understand the theory of intervals, scales, modes, chords, and arpeggios.
Must know and be able to play scales in five patterns.
Have a developed ear. Acquire ability to distinguish tones, intervals, and chord harmony.
