Practice session: scale dissection and revisited ii — V — I’s

Scale studies

• All Hm1 scales
• Scale dissection: C, F, Bb Dorian over 1-5-2-7 inversions in groups of 3

Jazz voicings + left hand

• iim9 — V13 — I∆9 — IV∆ | iiø — V7b9 — m9 in all keys, combining left hand patterns:
  • Ascending broken 10ths
  • 10ths with extensions
  • 10ths with diatonic runs
  • Reversed stride bass
  • Combined pattern (sheet music coming soon)

Observations

Scale dissection is getting much better, but still sucks in Bb- and other keys with a lot of accidentals, where the “white are 1 & 2, black are 3 & 7” pattern is not there anymore. This is why visual pattern are shit! To take a slightly better thought-through analogy, they are like sugar — addictive and unhealthy! 😄

Session timing: 1h 40m
