Using the interval of a 4th
The interval of a fourth is very useful for contemporary styles of jazz improvisation. The idea of using fourths can be applied both melodically – as we are learning to do here – and harmonically, for example in chord voicing.
Ex 6.01
As an alternative, instead of stepping up a semitone between each 4th arpeggio as shown here, try using a whole tone.
Ex 6.02
Again, instead of stepping up a semitone between each 4th arpeggio as shown here, try using a whole tone.
Ex 6.03
This exercise consists of groups of three-note 4th arpeggios moving in minor 3rds
