Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

July 5, 2008 | Read it: Tetrachords

We thank guest writer Mark Wilson of Onboard Research for this week's "Tips and Tricks" entry, excellent further fretboard theory vivisection entitled "A Tetrachordal Approach to the Major Scale Modes." We all know about the benefits of modes and scales in developing facility and improvisational skills; Mark takes us all a step deeper in unraveling the inherent simplicity of four-note patterns (Hmm... where have we heard that before?), dividing scales into two-part patterns, or Tetrachords. This could open a whole new dimension for you in comprehending scale theory.
