CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Arpeggios ala Matini) Volume 4 - Supersonic Diatonic

In this chapter of my “Chromatic Methenyisms” book series I will be exploring a few very easy and effective techniques for chromatic melodic ornamentation in the style of Pat Metheny which I call “Supersonic Diatonic.” I will be demonstrating how we can apply such chromatic mechanisms over basic major scale diatonic arpeggio patterns (skeletons) in different positions of the fretboard.

The accompanying video masterclass contains all examples performed at tempo as well as slowed down and in the transcription you will find a detailed description of the specific articulation and phrasing used to achieve the melodic sensibility and feel of Metheny.

The video tutorial will also cover in great depth the mechanics, detailed construction and concepts behind the application of this style of melodic ornamentation.

Combining these position arpeggio skeletons will give you the ability to create longer and wide-interval phrases over the entire range of the instrument.

This is also a great technique for combining the inside sound of the basic four chord tones of every harmony with the outside/altered sonic textures provided to us by the chromatic ornamentation.
