G Major Blues Scale
Despite its minor counterpart the Major Blues Scale is probably a bit less used. When mastered it produces a very bluesy elegant sound perfect for many major harmonic progressions, especially when it is tastefully combined with the Minor Blues Scale.

Three-Note Voicings
It is not that uncommon, among jazz musicians, to use three-note chords that can work as more complex chords structures.
Three-notes chords often are more handy and essential and, if we have the ability to obtain quickly their inversions, we can obtain a lot of voicings that can work as seventh chords.
In the picture below we have the notes C D Ab that can work as: Amin (maj7), Fm6, E7 (b13), Bb7 (9).
Try yourself the sound ! ๐

C melodic minor -> Cm (maj7)
D phrygian natural 6 -> D7 sus4 (b9)
Eb lydian augmented -> Eb maj7 (#5)
F lydian dominant -> F 7 (#11)
G mixolydian b13 -> G7 (b13)
A locrian natural 2 -> A min7 b5 (9)
B superlocrian -> B7 altered

Ooooh careful, playing this scale descending was considered the Devil's scale back in the day , a big no no ๐๐๐ค amazing how just 1 interval change from a Major scale can sound very different . Some call it the Jazz scale I think . If you start from the 7th Ascending it's Diminished , STone-Tone-STone-Tone up to the 4th . Then WholeTone from the 3rd . That Minor3rd is Lovely ๐๐

Personally, I use this knowledge for triad pair improvisation. B altered: play A dim B dim, or C minor D minor, or Fmaj G maj. Other combinations eg with Eb aug are also possible of course, but using 2 neighbouring triads of the same quality saves thinking while playing.
My mind has blown with it๐๐ still learning...

Minor Seventh Chord Substitution
In many situations, where we have a bass player, we can avoid to play the root and substitute it with the ninth.
If you apply this process to all the inversions of a minor seventh chord you will come up with the inversions of a major seventh chord, as you can see on the diagrams.
So that, any major seventh chord and its inversions can work as substitution of a minor seventh chord. (e.g. Cm7 -> Ebmaj7)

Talking about seven chords, Drop 2&3 and Drop 2&4 voicings are less common then Drop2 and Drop3 ones but they can be very useful in some contexts.
Drop 2&3 are a closed structure (1357) where the third note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 3517.
Drop 2&4 are a closed structure (1357) where the fourth note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 1537.

Arpeggios obtained by stacking proper intervals
Here a Bbmaj13 arpeggio, with a modified note order, obtained by stacking 5th and 4th intervals.
Play these intervals, from the bottom to the top one, as arpeggio sequence and you will get a typical Steve Vai's riff with repeated notes ๐
This intro is a nice variation on this idea youtu.be/rsTXN6KK3Mg
Would love to see the stacking of theses notes!’
I use this idea to develop an interesting arpeggio formula! Great analysis
Harmonic Minor diatonic arpeggios
(the remaining six shapes!)
As promised, here the remaining six (of twelve) Harmonic Minor Scale vertical shapes harmonized with one-octave diatonic arpeggios.
Download the first six shapes from the previous post on this page in case you have missed them.
Practice them as a sequence and use each single arpeggio to break the linear sound of the scale when improvising.
Stay tuned for other micro lessons and diagrams ๐
