LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In this lesson from my course, Nail the Changes, I demonstrate using one of the exercises in the programs call the "Continuous Chord Tone Exercise".
If I was only allowed to work on ONE improvisation exercise for the rest of my life it would be this one.
The continuous chord tone exercise shows us how to target the harmony and chord changes of a song with extreme precision, note for note, finding voice leading, targeting chord tones by thoroughly mapping out all the arpeggios and finding every instance of where they connect by step.
In this video I demonstrate this process on only TWO strings in ONE single fretboard position, and it's those kinds of limitations in our practicing that ultimately set us free in our real playing.
