💬 Lesson Description

This is part two of my chord tone soloing series.

In part one, we did a series of exercises to memorize the arpeggio shapes for “Solar” by Miles Davis.

In this video, we finish my exercise series on chord tone soloing.

You can do this over any jazz tune.

In these exercises, we practice the arpeggios to a backing track, getting you closer to real improvisation.

This process will help you clearly visualize where the chord tones are, find voice leading, and improvise truly original music over any chord progression.

I hope you enjoy this lesson about chord tone soloing and find it beneficial.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Thanks! :)

📜 Rules of the Game

• Play chord tones only
• Play constant notes
• Continue in the same direction within each arpeggio shape
• Always resolve by half step if possible
• If you can’t resolve forwards by half step, resolve backwards
• If you can’t resolve by step, resolve by step from the second to last note
• If you can resolve by half step in both directions, choose either one
• Don’t get caught in a rut
• No looking at the progression
• Graces notes are allowed, but don’t give chromatic notes their own rhythmic duration
• Pass each exercise x times in a row without mistakes
• If you can’t resolve by step from the last or second to last note, continue in the same direction
• When you make a mistake, finish the form out of time before starting over
