So What is the iconic modal jazz standard from Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue. Built on just two chords (Dm7 and Ebm7), this tune is the perfect vehicle for exploring modal improvisation, pentatonic approaches, and developing melodic freedom within a simple harmonic framework. At Fretprints, we cover So What through chord scales, pentatonic studies, voicings, and podcast discussions on modal vs. tonal improvisation.
