Well, today I am out of work due to hurt ribs. I don't know what I did other than get older but boy does it hurt. No playing today but plenty up to this point.
Last week I mentioned I was working the Cmaj scale in the 6/2 position as well as the Cmaj Pentatonic scale in the same position and was starting on the A Aeolian scale also in the Cmaj 6/2 position.
In that theme, I have been playing the arpeggios for Cmaj7 Ionian, Dmin7 Dorian, Emin7 Phrygian, Fmaj7 Lydian, G7 Mixolydian, Amin7 Aeolian and Bmin7b5 Locrian in the 6/2 position. (I mention the modes so as to be clear what scale is being used that the chords are being derived from).
As I play these arpeggios, I am being careful to spell the notes as I play them so it isn't merely becoming a dexterity exercise. I also make sure I am aware of the interval that I am playing. For example, I try to be aware that if I am playing the C that is at the 8th fret of the low E, that I know in the Cmaj scale, it is the root. In the D dorian scale, it is the 7. In the Fmaj Lydian, it is the 5 and so on.
There is also a good ear trainer online that I have been using for the last week.
With the context that Sal has provided me, I am growing more and more confident with what I am learning. Very pleased so far.
