When people talk about "playing over the changes,” they mean improvising melodically in a way that jibes with the song’s given chord changes. Yes, you’ll learn some arpeggios in this class, but this approach is about more than that. Expert-level improvisers know how to nail the changes while playing tunefully and telling a wordless story. That will be our aim!
