Hey everyone!
This is the first of a new video series i’ve put together covering the use of chromatic approach notes to triads, both within a given chord and using them within a wider progression/moving through chord changes!
Chromatic approaches (and chromaticism in general) are an incredibly powerful tool to have in your locker of vocabulary and as such I would encourage players of all levels to become proficient in their use!
In this first lesson we’re going to look at approaching the notes of the major triad from a single chromatic note below the target chord tones. We’ll look at a couple of useful exercises to develop basic fluency and an example bass groove. As always, the PDF and the backing track i’ve used can be downloaded below!
For those of you who are paid subscribers, you’ll need the expanded PDF linked below for the exercise expansion and the additional bonus groove!
