Observations
Yikes! I found the way to apply my jazz voicings studies to the scale harmonisation, just like I recently found a way to blend Phil Mann’s Chord Tones course with Scott’s Jazz Survival Guide in my bass days. Shell voicings! I can play them more or less quickly, plus I can harmonise major modes, and now how about harmonising them in 7-3-5 or 3-7-9?! JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU GOT GOOD— Lol. It’s so fun actually. I love the endless possibilities to improve that jazz offers you.
