EXERCISE 6

"melodic Line"
playing scalenotes

The common scales have 7 notes: by playing chordnotes we already played 4 ( note numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7).
In fact we only have to add note numbers 2,4 and 6 (D-dorian, G- mixolydian and C ionian, fig.16).
Use the same chord progression ( Dm7 \ G7 \ Cmaj7 \ Cmaj7) , play 4 notes in 1 bar and use just one pattern: 1-2-3-5 (in Dm7 this would be D-E-F-A).

    variation:
    • - same exercise using the pattern: 1-3-4-5
    • - same exercise using the pattern: 1-3-5-6
    • - same exercise using the pattern: 1-6-5-3
    • - same exercise Using the pattern: 1-5-2-3
    • - same exercise using the pattern: 1-5-2-3
    • - same exercise using the pattern: 3-2-1-5
    • - same exercise creating your own pattern.
    • - same exercise mixing pattern.
