Modal Focal Point #3 - Shinkansen (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.

In Part 3 I present a very challenging melodic line over a ii-V7-i progression in C minor. The phrase is designed to work on improving "4 Note Sequences" within the melodic minor scale. There are different ways in which the sequences within the melodic passage are offset against the downbeat to produce a different rhythmic feel and partition of the line.

I will be covering many creative and specific exercises and different ways to improve "4 Note Sequences" in my soon to be released study and video masterclass - "Unintended Consequences."

Materials Included:
