Re: Jazz Theory (read if you're a theory guy/gal)

You need to reinforce primary chord tones and preferred extensions when constructing your lines.

You can certainly consider F-7 to be interchangable with Ebmaj when figuring out what notes are available in the scale, but you'd better know what notes should and shouldn't land on (or off) the beat for the most part, or you're going to have a pretty odd sounding solo.
