Hello GMC!
You guys did great on soloing with sequence and today its time to start with over 2nd in class type collaboration. This collaboration focuses on soloing with chord tones and arpeggios ! What that means is that I am not going to grade you anything else but this. Make sure you play notes that belong to the chord and you are all set ! Lets first remind ourselves what arpeggio is = it is group of notes that go in a very SPECIFIC order (no skipping between notes allowed). What are chord tones ? Well they are simply notes that belong to chord and we can play them in any order we want ! So in this collaboration I am letting you play chord tones both in order and with skipping ! Experiment and have fun with it, just no scale runs or anything like that, I just want chord sounds described with as much melodic approach as possible ! Chord progression has 16 bars (without pre count bar of course  It goes like this : /C maj7 / A min7 / D min7 / G7 / /C maj7 / A min7 / D min7 / G7 / /E min7 / A min7 / D min7 / G7 / /C maj7 / A min7 / D min7 / G7 // As you see this chord progression is in key of C major and I used 4 part chords to create chord progression. This is very famous and specific chord progression as it describes a C Ionian sound very well and establishes sound of the key. It is known as I VI II V chord progression (C A D G chords in this case), and it happens in virtually any style of music today! At one point I did little variation where I used E min 7 instead of C maj7. Thats known as Diatonic substitution and is something we will cover in some theory lessons in future  I decided to create a jazzy laid back backing track. Tempo is 120 bpm and you have Rhodes as keys and Acoustic bass sound along with drums programed in EZdrummer. I provide you with all the arpeggios here and hope you will find this one very fun and useful to play over. I will very soon post couple of my improvised takes over this backing using only arpeggios and chord tones. Enjoy it ! Pedja Deadline for submitting takes is 28th of March ! Post your take HERE List of participants : 1) Velvet Roger - Recorded 2) Tolek - Recorded 3) Enforcer - Recorded 4) wrk - Recorded 5) Emir Hot - Recorded 6) Paiva - Recorded 7) big harry - Recorded 8) Ajmurrell 9) coffeeman - Recorded 10) Marc_Maiden - Recorded 11) jdriver - Recorded 12) JamesT - Recorded 13) lcsdds - Recorded 14) Nazgul 15) Roythebattousai 16) jer 17) MarekRojewski - Recorded 18) berko - Recorded 19) Sami - Recorded 20) Iluha 21) Outlaw 2112 - Recorded 22) GrannyKiller - Recorded 23) sted - Recorded 24) Jesse 25) Canis - Recorded 26) Dexxter - Recorded 27) Sergio Dorado - Recorded 28) kaznie_NL - Recorded 29) Alex87 30) Pedja Simovic - Recorded This post has been edited by Pedja Simovic: Apr 1 2009, 04:39 PM

We are going over this right now and it will make them learn their triad shapes!! Can I basically write and etude for this Pedja? I have been wanting to do something like this to practice my arpeggios.I have plenty of time set aside just for this type of thing now!! I knew I was getting in over my head!! My entry is going to have to confine itself to hitting the right notes and sounding okay, no fireworks!

Pedja,
I'm a real beginner so that's where this is coming from. I'm a little stuck as to how to approach this. I know these arpeggios separately, but I can't think of a way to move between them this way. Normally I would just stay in key and it would sound all right. I guess I can get my speed up and do a quick partial arpeggio on each chord change, but that doesn't seem like it's teaching me what you are wanting us to learn. Any suggestions on how to "connect the dots" with logic? -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger.. I'm older now but still I hunger For some understanding. There's no understanding, now. Was there ever? ...Joe Puerta (Ambrosia)... Finally got a YouTube page going. |

Excellent suggestions!! I normally would use rests in this way, but I think I am trying cram too much into 30 seconds and I have been trying to include some notes from each chord in every chord change and that's 16, so no wonder I get confused. I should slow down some.
Thanks. -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger.. I'm older now but still I hunger For some understanding. There's no understanding, now. Was there ever? ...Joe Puerta (Ambrosia)... Finally got a YouTube page going. |

You definitely set me on the right track. I have got it figured out. Just need to get the speed up and I think it will please the Jazz teacher in you! (and the Jazz student in me!)

I haven't heard you in to many of these and it sounds like you have some really great ideas when it come to melody as structure. Can't wait to listen to your take bro! Thanks bud. I did 2 collabs when I first joined, very simple ones! Since then I've been concentrating on lessons and practice. I think I'm ready to put it to use, I love Jazz and Blues! -------------------- "I dreamed a lot when I was younger.. I'm older now but still I hunger For some understanding.
