*** Please note there was a mistake in Lesson #12 in the last chart: “First diagram: CM7 Descending Scale Pattern based on Thirds.” The chart has been corrected.
Last week in Lesson #12 we added CM7 and Dm7 Scales in Thirds > > picked in a Reverse Pattern > Ascending up the fretboard - to our scale book. This week will play Thirds by alternating Forward and Reverse Patterns > Ascending up and Descending down the fretboard.
Please note: These patterns will be off and on the knee lever that lowers the 3rd string C to B.
NP = No Pedals - No Knee Levers.
KL = Knee Lever lowering 3rd string C to B as indicated at bottom of diagram.
First diagram: CM7 Scale in Thirds > picked in Alternating Forward & Reverse Pattern > Ascending up the fretboard.
Second diagram: CM7 Scale in Thirds > picked in Alternating Forward & Reverse Pattern > Descending down the fretboard.
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
First diagram: Dm7 Scale in Thirds > picked in Alternating Forward & Reverse Pattern > Ascending up the fretboard.
Second diagram: Dm7 Scale in Thirds > picked in Alternating Forward & Reverse Pattern > Descending down the fretboard.
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
Here is another way to jazz up these Thirds – this time picked in Reverse Pattern up the fretboard.
First diagram: CM7 Ascending Scale Pattern based on Thirds.
Second diagram: Dm7 Ascending Scale Pattern based on Thirds.
(C-6th – Pedals & Knee Levers indicated at bottom of diagram.
Tip of the Week: Listening. One of the best educations you can get is by listening to Jazz - on records – at Jazz performances – and especially on your local Jazz radio station. Hearing how Jazz artists create their own melodies - on the spot - using standard melodies, scales, chords, arpeggios and riffs is a continuing education in itself. Jazz players phrase and articulate their scale patterns in many different ways. When I hear a scale pattern I like on the radio, I use these basic scale patterns to help locate the pattern on my guitar.

Robert, I just wanted to say thank you for the C6 scales.
I am new to PSG but pretty good on chords and chord melody, but my single note bebop lines stink to high heaven. Your scale practice is helping.
Again, my thanks.
Bill

Thanks dlayne & William Lake,
I have been looking for a way to play scales from scale books. Hopefully, these lessons will add to any other scales, chords, arpeggios, melodies, blues, sax and steel guitar riffs you might be studying.
Two more lessons to go and then I think we will leave the Major Scale for awhile and start applying these patterns to II-V’s. Thanks again guys for checking in. |
