OK, so let's just look at something else we can do here over the same chord changes. So
we're going to look at the one, the one major seven and the one dominant in terms of single
notes at a time. Triads or arpeggios are the words for it. So we're going to look at this
shape. So here's a D major triad. We've talked about this before in some of the other exercises
we've done. So this is the one, the three, the five, and the one again. So I'm going
to just choose, instead of going to the one twice, I'm just going to start on the third.
OK? And so for the one chord, I'm just picking an arbitrary pattern, then, picking pattern
I mean. So then when I go to the seven, the major seven, I'm going to drop this root down.
OK? And then when I go to the dominant chord, that's the one note you want to change. So
you can try this pattern. And it really gets at what notes are changing. We can take this
pattern and bring it up higher if we want, and then we're going to move to a G chord.
So and this last little pattern was the same thing, if you look at this pattern here, same
thing up an octave. This is a D, and this is a D. So if that starts a D triad, start
a D triad there as well. So this is a way of moving through the chords but without the
tremolo, but with soloistic properties.
