Episode 196: Melodic Fragments Part 2

Welcome to part 2 in our series on melodic fragments. This series is all about allowing you to center your solo around chord tones while using small melodic fragments to connect the important notes. Last week, we discussed two different fragments. One starting on the third and one starting on the fifth. This week, we discuss a fragment starting on the 7th and then talk about mixing the fragments up and how different they sound from each other.

Episode 197: Melodic Fragments Part 3

This week's episode is building on the work we have already done in this series with an introduction to five note melodic fragments. Here we discuss the combination of our three note fragments into longer phrases that will allow you to cover more of the octave in a single idea. We are connecting the 3rd to the 7th and connecting the 5th to the 9th by way of our five note fragments. One more episode coming at you in this series next week where we take it to the next level so get your work done on these episodes this week! WANT THE PDF THAT GOES ALONG WITH THIS EPISODE??
