Using common notes between two chords belonging to different scales to allow a smooth passing between them when improvising in the blues and dorian modes.

There are two kinds of approximation and they are both chromatic, the approach above and the approach below the note that is considered the melody.

My thought process when targeting the "right notes" in a fusion context.

Only using two strings and very basic shapes!

Practice timing and playing 16th notes using interactive exercises.

Using pivoting technique, application in various positions

The use of approach notes and chromaticism is an important element of playing that we find in various styles of jazz, jazz fusion, etc. It is a great technique to add color, feel and some tension to your playing.
