STOP PLAYING SCALES. START MAKING MUSIC. 🎸
Here’s a simple trick to get yourself improvising without trying to process the entire fretboard at once.
Barre chords too difficult? Don’t play the whole chord.
Scale patterns overwhelming? Don’t play the whole scale.
Take just the top three strings of your chord and find the neighboring scale tones around it. That’s your entire playground.
Now pretend your scale has a detection meter. 🚨
Your mission: use every note without getting caught playing the scale pattern.
Don’t run the notes sequentially up and down. Skip notes. Repeat notes. Hold notes. Change direction. Leave space. Return to the chord tones. Hide the pattern.
Eventually your brain stops seeing:
CHORD + SCALE + ARPEGGIO
…and starts seeing one thing:
A MINOR.
The chord comes from the scale. The arpeggio is the chord broken into individual notes. The remaining scale tones become colors you can add to that chord.
Stop thinking of scales as something you play over chords.
Start hearing scale tones as colors you add to the chord.
That’s when patterns start becoming music. 🎸🔥
