Versatile Lead Phrasing Pathways - Added Tone Arpeggios
Patreon: www.patreon.com/fretjam
^ Thank you for your support! A wealth of exclusive content that I'm sure you'll find useful.
In this lesson we explore added tone arpeggios - arpeggio/scale hybrid patterns that offer us melodic phrasing pathways through chords and even entire keys. They give our lead guitar playing a mix of "horizontal" and "vertical" direction, helping us to break out of the linear rut of step-wise scale meandering, connecting different areas of the neck with larger interval jumps. Accessible, memorable and musical in many playing situations.

    There isn't much sonic difference between the 7th and bII of this scale, that's probably the one hang-up I've always had about this scale, being one of my favorites. It's great to solo over because you don't really have to move around much, but you basically only get one "color" out of it if you don't have a vocabulary of inversions, extensions, etc.

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom 24 дні тому

      That's an interesting point and my ears agree! I would say that's kind of how most modes are in terms of their harmonic potential. Modes by definition are restricted to a specific harmonic colour. That said, with phrygian dominant, I find the most striking use of it is when there is an unpredictable chord or key change. It carries a lot of tension and it can completely change the mood of a piece. But I also have a weak spot for the I7 to vii (e.g. E7 to Dm) movement. You hear this a lot in movie scores and it's very powerful. Throw this into a regular major key (e.g. C becomes C7 and then Dbmaj7 or Bbm comes into play) and you get a fresher taste of that phrygian dominant sound.

      Think in terms of target notes. Typically a slide will serve to punctuate a note you want to emphasise, similar to a bend. Other than that, just go with want sounds good!

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom 24 дні тому

      Thank you that means a lot. In terms of generic lesson plans, it's difficult because lesson plans are individual (or at least should be). I would need to establish your personal goals, current ability, time availability etc. That's really something for a personal tutor to work with you on. But I hope I can at least offer some inspiration in terms of new concepts, even if you come to them later in your learning journey.

    You have such a distinct guitar voice, and it’s consistent in all your videos. What guitar do you use and with what pickups? As far as effects it sounds like a bit of crunch and delay, maybe a bit of room reverb if I’m not mistaken.

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom 24 дні тому

      Thanks! I use a Gibson Les Paul, stock 490R/498T pickups (I think!), going through a Boss GT-001 (an old desktop processor). I tend to use plugins in Audacity (post reverb, delay, compression etc.) but sometimes Guitar Rig with the Tube Screamer emulator.

    Whoever thinks gaining a firm understanding of Music Theory is not worth the time and effort is ... uhm ... wrong. Need evidence? ... You're listening to "Exhibit 'A'" (as in "A Major") right now. I have a sense that the Learned Professor Fretjam here may be formally educated and/or experienced in some high-level visio-spatial design work ... possibly even Engineering. But Architecture would be my first guess ... or precision graphic artwork. If so, ... well, it definitely shows. Great Stuff! Thank You! 🎼TD, Boston

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom 24 дні тому

      Very flattering! I'm not formally educated so I can't really take the title of professor haha. I just have a very meticulous interest in music and how it works. I aim to present it in a way that's understandable and (most importantly) liberating. Music theory to me is like learning the "rules" so you can break them more intelligently.

  • @midi1529
    @midi1529 Місяць тому

    I understand some of this, say 1 3 5 with the 2 = the Major +2 (2=9th) pattern. But I am not seeing these M+2 M+4 etc... t Relationships to the diatonic chords. This would be a nice and fast method of making fills over a progression. If it was fast to see while improvising. Iam I just slow or am I missing something

    • @fretjamdotcom
      @fretjamdotcom 24 дні тому

      You could see it as one fragment of the scale over those diatonic chords. Yes, it works best as fills or lead-ins/lead-outs for those broader scale movements. But the reason I wanted to demonstrate these patterns is because they touch on colour tones over all the diatonic chords in the form of a melodic pathway. It's just an available option we can use in the moment (similar to the tonic maj7 arpeggio) and connect to other phrases over chords.
