In Lessons #9 & #10 we added four tough Scale Patterns to our book. This week we will add two easy ones: CM7 and Dm7 Scales in Thirds> Ascending and Descending > picked in a Forward Pattern.
Please note: These patterns will be off and on the knee lever that lowers the 3rd string C to B.
NP = No Pedals - No Knee Levers.
KL = Knee Lever lowering 3rd string C to B as indicated at bottom of diagram.
First diagram: CM7 Scale > Ascending Thirds > picked in a Forward Pattern.
Second diagram: CM7 Scale > Descending Thirds > picked in a Forward Pattern. (Play over CM7 Chord)
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
NP = No Pedals - No Knee Levers. KL = Knee Lever lowering 3rd string C to B)
First diagram: Dm7 Scale > Ascending Thirds > picked in a Forward Pattern.
Second diagram: Dm7 Scale > Descending Thirds > picked in a Forward Pattern. (Play over Dm7, G7, G9, G13 Chords)
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
NP = No Pedals - No Knee Levers. KL = Knee Lever lowering 3rd string C to B)
Here is an easy way to jazz up these Thirds:
First diagram: CM7 Ascending Scale Pattern based on Thirds.
Second diagram: Dm7 Ascending Scale Pattern based on Thirds.
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
NP = No Pedals - No Knee Levers. KL = Knee Lever lowering 3rd string C to B)
Tip of the Week: Setting the Metronome. (1) Without the metronome - play back the scale pattern at your own tempo until there are no clams and every note is picked with equal velocity. (2) Set your metronome to that tempo (or slightly slower) (3) Play scale pattern with metronome.
Speed is not important at this point. Accuracy, intonation and sound are. Actually, the slower and more deliberate you can woodshed something, the better. This method taps into your own rhythm at that moment – like counting off a song on the gig.
