Today’s lesson , let’s learn 7th chord (dominant chord )arppegios and scales.<\/p>\n

I could say that they are one of most important knowledge to make your solo gypsy jazzy. Because 7th chords and diminish chords are related.<\/p>\n

Major scales and arpeggios<\/a>
\nMinor scales and arpeggios<\/a><\/div>\n

Scale<\/h2>\n

There are many scales but in the big category , there are MAJOR scale and MINOR scale , 7th scale<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"major By the way these scales above have names too.<\/p>\n

maj scale\u30fb\u30fb\u30fbIonian scale<\/p>\n

minor scale\u30fb\u30fb\u30fbNatural minor scale<\/p>\n

7th scale\u30fb\u30fb\u30fbMixolydian scale , or 7th scale.<\/p>\n

As you can see , 7th scale is almost same as major scale but 7th has flat 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

7th scales<\/h2>\n

\"7th \"7th<\/p>\n

Now, let’s have a look at key G. The notes are G,A,B,A,D,E,F ,right? It is same as Cmaj scale.<\/p>\n

When you look at it like this , then all the scales are like this.<\/p>\n

Cmaj scale = G7 scale<\/p>\n

Dmaj scale = A7 scale<\/p>\n

Emaj scale = B7 scale<\/p>\n

Fmaj scale = C7 scale<\/p>\n

Gmaj scale = D7 scale<\/p>\n

Amaj scale = E7 scale<\/p>\n

Bmaj scale = F#7 scale<\/p>\n

By the way , probably you’ve heard 2-5-1 or 1-4-5 , something like this. This means , when the key is C, 2-5-1 is Dm7-G7-C because of diatonic chords in key C. (Learn diatonic chords<\/a> for details)<\/p>\n

As I said , Cmaj and G7 scales are same and how about Dm7 ? Dm7 scale is also D,E,F,G,A,B,C. That means , you can play Cmaj scale through this chord progression , but if you do it too long , it won’t sound good , get boring.<\/p>\n

How to memorize scales<\/h2>\n

I’d say there are 2 ways of memorizing scales. 1 is to memorize all the notes in every keys which I do most of keys. 2nd is to memorize the fingering which I do as well.<\/p>\n

For the beginning , it’s easier to remember fingerings below. Also you should practice in every keys.(maybe not # or b keys yet).<\/p>\n

\"7th<\/p>\n

Let’s check the notes on the fret board .<\/p>\n

\"C7 \"\"<\/p>\n

Arpeggio<\/h2>\n

In the gypsy jazz style of playing , arpeggios are very important knowledge of soloing . Of course scales as well , but I personally use much more arpeggio than scales .(In the end , they are similer and just few notes missing or not though)<\/p>\n

Little explanations about arpeggios.<\/p>\n

An arpeggio is the notes that compose a chord , and usually 1st , 3rd and 5th scale degrees which is called Tonic Triad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cmaj arpeggio is C , E , G (1st , 3rd , 5th)<\/p>\n

Cmaj7 arpeggio is C , E , G , B(1st , 3rd , 5th , maj7)<\/p>\n

C7 arpeggio is C , E , G , Bb(1st , 3rd , 5th , dominant7)<\/p>\n

Cm arpeggio is C , Eb , G (1st , minor 3rd , 5th)<\/p>\n

Now I give you 3 common arpeggio positions for dominant chords.<\/p>\n

\"7th<\/p>\n

Try to play arpeggios from top to bottom , bottom to top then you can mix these 3 arppegios like this. (Example is key G)<\/span>\"dominant<\/p>\n\nhttps:\/\/manouche-jazz-lessons.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/7th-arpeggio-mix-audio-file.wav<\/a><\/audio>\n

I have to tell you again but try to play arpeggios in every keys. It might take time to get used to it but it will help you a lot when you jam!<\/p>\n

Also when you know these things, you can use Gypsy jazz technique ‘ Enclosure’ in your s<\/span>olos. Have a look at the lesson , ‘How to use enclosure in your gypsy jazz solos’<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After learning scales and arpeggios, try this one as well ”Daily Arpeggio practice”<\/a> to be able to play solos like gypsy jazz!!<\/p>\n
