Lesson

Hi guys I hope you're having a great week!!!

Your assignment is to do Fmaj7, Abmaj7, Amin7, C7. Do all the positions and do them in time with a pulse. Record them and post them on the site.
Here’s a link to more open closed info on the site: http://www.vibesworkshop.com/blog/usm-feb-13-2015-open-closed-voicings/…

I had previously posted on this topic via a clip that demonstrated the concept on piano. I'm using the same Pentatonic scales in this clip from Saturday night's gig with Mark.

To view and download the Pentatonics being used for the improvisation, click on the link included in the clip's description. More clips from this night are up on my YT channel listed under Duo with Mark Carlsen. Other songs include: How Deep is the Ocean, Jitterbug Waltz, Topsy, Like Someone in Love, Triste, Ain't Misbehavin', Peace, There Will Never Be Another You, Chega De Saudade, How Insensitive.

Memorize it! Study it.

Aloha, This is Scale exercise concept i have been developing of the last year. The concept is to be able to " call upon" any part of the scale at any time.

concept of this idea is to start on the tonic of the scale. go up to the 7th degree and skip the repeated tonic and land on the 9th.. once you get to the 9th degree you descend down the scale in question to the 2nd degree and repeat the cycle ... ascending and descending til you have worked thru the entire scale ...

Enjoy
