Modal Focal Point #2 - Altered Coalescence (Short Melodic Ideas for the Modern Guitarist)

In this short melodic study I seek to explore the many interesting and creative ways through which one can practice to develop new phrasing ideas on the instrument by combining materials and concepts from the many different melodic studies/books I have published over the years.

To me, this is a fun way to develop improvisatory vocabulary by crafting intricate phrases from the different building blocks that I am currently practicing.

This modern melodic phrase over an Altered Dominant harmony is produced by combining the basic dominant 7 arpeggio starting on the root of the chord (which gives us the root, 3rd, 5th and b7th degree of the chord) with a half-diminished arpeggio a whole step below (which gives us the b7th, b9th, 3rd and b13th degree of the chord).

The goal here is to find unique and creative ways in which we can mix material from both arpeggios to produce a whole new and more complex melodic flavor.
