Lesson 2: Major Scale Patterns
Overview: This lesson has 4 parts 1) Major Scale Patterns 2) Major triad arpeggios 3) NATURAL MINOR scale patterns (AEOLIAN mode) 4) Minor triad arpeggios. Major and Minor Scale Patterns are the basis for theory and a fundamental understanding of any instrument. One should be familiar with the MAJOR SCALE FORMULA: 1 1 1/2 1 1 1 1/2, and have basic technical command over the scale/arpeggio patterns and their realative minors in ALL KEYS. A good goal for tempo while practicing Major and Natural Minor Scales is sixteenth notes @ 100 bpm (for arpeggios triplets at 100bpm) This lesson runs the Major and Realative Minor scales and TRIAD ARPEGGIOS in all keys. |
