Lesson

.

I always listen to other instruments play solo. It teaches you how to accompany yourself. The different ways. Our model is usually the piano which I think is not the best model for us. I like the guitar especially. That being said, it's also great to listen to piano players play and accompany themselves.

Was checking something out about the minor 3 half step scale and came across this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexatonic_scale

Some interesting scales there. I wonder how you write in some of those scales, or if there are examples of compositions.

I can't stop what I'm doing (except to post this). What do you guys know about all this?

Salina,

Fill in the chords, check out the accidentals. Tell me about what's going on here. (Patrick and help if you want)

And Play it well at our next lesson!

Each 251 has it's key signature. From that you should be able to figure out the chords. Remember they are all 251s.

Right in the chords. Study each note and voicing. Understand and write about what is happening with each chord, each progression etc.

Is the voicing rootless? What upper partials are there.

Finally put each one through all the keys. Watch how much you learn about 251s.
