The shapes should also be played in major 2nds, minor 3rds, major 3rds, and 4ths That's how my last teacher had me practice licks, etc. That essentially covers all the common chord movements and helps develop dexterity.

this is why music is life. a melodic cell is nothing but a short phrase of musical language, and when you put together a bunch of small musical phrases that make sense in context you get a sentence. and so just like human beings, when you put a bunch of cells together that cooperate you get a whole person or a song.

This is a great concept. I think the most misunderstood part is the importance of moving the cell up/down in half/ whole steps. I think many of us were taught to practice things in all keys through the circle of 4ths/5ths, and I wouldn’t necessarily say that is a bad thing to do, but as far as getting things in the hands and improving you’re technique, you are absolutely right about this.

Great info Chad.... much appreciated. I am currently working on minor 7th chord tones chromatically and in various combinations. As I am internalizing, I am finding that these cells are making their way into my thoughts and soloing. Hours of practicing at 60 bpm, then increasing tempo gradually making sure there are no mistakes. It is paying off. I also play Major 7th chord tones 1-3-5-7, 2-4-6-1, 3-5-7-2, etc in all keys daily along with long tones. The melodic cell exercises you present is something I want/need to work on. Will be purchasing. Thanks for your help. You are blessed with a great talent of teaching and playing/ performing. Much appreciated. Thanks

Thank you Chad. One of the questions that's been on my mind for awhile: what is the road leading up to double time? Does one approach it by spending enough time at slower tempo and gradually raise it to uptempo? Or does one have to separately, deliberately tackle the faster tempo before they feel "ready?"

Chad on your Non Diatonic Cell C minor vamp, I got a little confused because you're not playing the exercise exactly as written. No big deal but I think it would be easier if you insert a bar after m. 7 and put a whole note C tied across. Same thing with the last note, add a bar with whole note C tied across there as well. let me know what you think.

@robinbalean958 4 жыл бұрын
Years ago a teacher helped me learn my major scales by pointing out that you can break a major scale up the melodic cell 1 2 3 4 starting on the root and then on the fifth. e.g. the C major scale is just the first 4 notes of the C scale followed by the first 4 notes of the G scale. At the time this helped me a lot as suddenly I only had to learn half the notes of my scales! So I think it's never too early to work on cells.
