Sequences


Back with another lesson it's Kevin Cook. We've all learned 3 note sequences, but I thought why don't we use 4-note sequences too. Well here is what I mean. Check out this Chromatic 4-note sequence and then applied to the Em scale.

Chromatic - (no movement up and down the neck)

E||--15-14-13-12----14-13-12-------13-12----------12-|--------------------------------------------------|

Applied to Em - (A lot of movement so you don't hit the same note twice. For large stretchs you might just want to slide with the pinky)

Here is the Chromatic 3-note sequence (in triplets)

Well, here you go, I'll put up some wav files shortly, unless one of you wants to make it for me and send it to kctheac@hotmail.com
