Putting the Scales in the Chords

This is an old lesson, but I think it's good. The audio is down at the bottom of the text.

So think of the scales this way. The chord tones and the notes between the chord tones are the scales. For example:

Chinese translation for Chinese students

這邊教大家一個簡單的小練習。
幫助你了解整首曲子、也幫助你了解更多和聲。
每個和弦都演奏一小段音階（從根音開始），

像這樣：
Fminor7: F,G,Ab,Bb,C
C7altered: C,Db,Eb,E,G
依此類推，用這個方式演奏整首曲子

Many people probably already know about the "18 Exercises for Flute but I'm currently trying to get my reading to a very proficient level and I ran across the 18 Exercises for Flute by B.T. Berbiguier. What a gold mine! Here's the sight where they are free and in my opinion some of the best reading material available for vibe players is right on that site and it's endless so I thought I'd share.

Here's a whole section on scales. Very complete! Between Behn and myself it has lots of ideas and explanations to you help with chords and scales and improvising!

Dan here's the etude I promised you.

It would be great if you recorded a version for the site.

Everyone else, maybe we should do this as our next TOTM. It's a GREAT tune.

Write the chords in. Learn the tune. Check out the etude. Check out the bass line. If you have a synth play the bass line on the synth. Do you understand it? See the notes, the upper partials I stick in because of the melody of the bass line?

I posted a lesson recently where I posted the voicings and you guys supply the rhythms. Here is an etude of my rhythms and chords.

You put the chords in. It will help you memorize them. Note the upper partials and add them in as well. Play the etude!
