Great response as always Pedja......Thanks.
I have started so far by going to Andy's MusicLearningTools.net sit and just drilling the keys, intervals and scale formulas and I am still studying your cadences post. These have helped.
I am going to add in an "interval shapes" section into my practice routine. I am also really trying to get down all my 7th arpeggio shapes so I can easily switch between then in any key.
Yesterday I learned an interesting thing when I was tabbing out some tapping arpeggios. I learned that if I am in say "A Ionian" and I want to know which 7th chords in that scale contain "A" that all I have to do is go up one degree in the scale.....to B in this case......spell out the 7th chord from this degree.......Bm7 (B-D-F#-A) and that tells me the four roots in the Scale of A Ionian that contain A. So in this case it would be Bm7, Dmaj7, F#m7 and Amaj7. It also tells me which inversions I can use. Starting from B you just count backwards. So Bm7 (3rd inversion), Dmaj7 (2nd inversion), F#min7 (1st inversion) and Amaj7 (Root).
So if I am on the low E string with my index finger on the fifth fret.......A........then I have 4 different arpeggios I can play that contain A.....
I know you know this but it is new to me and every little trick helps....
Thanks for the help Pedja and I'll be checking back with more questions and updates.
