CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Breaking Point) - "Twisted 251s" - Creative ii-V7-I Phrases in the Style of Pat Metheny's Solo Break on "Third Wind"

In this short study I am illustrating how we can produce modern melodic phrases in the style of Pat Metheny's solo break on "Third Wind" over a ii-V-I progression using the concepts and ideas covered in my CHROMATIC METHENYISMS "Breaking Point" Book and Video Masterclass (available here: https://gum.co/usvxj)

Once we are familiar with the function, architecture and adaptation of each one of the specific melodic chromatic ornamentation techniques that Pat used in his iconic solo break/improvisation (a transcription of Pat's solo break is also included with the main book "Breaking Point") we can apply the same techniques and concepts in the construction of original melodic vocabulary over any harmonic progression.

Here I present two different melodic phrases over a ii-V-I progression in the key of C major which are specifically designed with the same chromatic ornamentation techniques and line contour as Metheny's solo break on "Third Wind."
