Sharpen Up (Binary Harmonic Cells) + backing track

This short technical study explores the two-note harmonic structures I call - Binary Cells.

These cells are made only using the intervals of a 2nd and 5th and are based on the chord degrees/arpeggio of the harmony at play.

They are ideal as a connective tissue between some of the more conventional chord voicings we use often in our playing and can be a great bridge between the melodic and fully harmonic usage of the instrument. 

In this study I present these Binary Cells over minor 7, Dominant 7 and Major 7 harmonies.

For the Altered Dominant variations of these two-note clusters we can simply use the regular Dominant Binary Cells a TRITONE away from the root of the altered chord.

Materials Included:

PDF of "Binary Harmonic Cells" Technical Study / Warm-Up Exercises (TAB and Standard Notation).

Backing Track: Gmin9 (Dorian).
