Chromatic Chord Tone Patterns - Comments?

jimvence

Friends,

Over the past few months, I've been documenting a practice technique I've developed. I'd like
to share for your review and feedback to see if this is worthwhile information to provide aspiring Gypsy Jazz guitarists, and to solicit any comments to see if this looks helpful, needs
some corrections. etc... (My last update today included adding tablature to the examples, so
let me know if I have any errors there, especially)

Gypsy Jazz focuses on chords and arpeggios and less on scale exercises, compared to more traditional studies. The missing piece in this focus is the use of chromatic passages that fill in between chord tones. From this observation, I started developing a practice of playing four note patterns of chromatic notes that start and end with chord tones. I refer to it as Chromatic Chord Tone Patterns.

In the event someone has already documented this, or includes this information in one of their
commercially available books, please let me know; I do not want to appear to have plagiarized
this information in any way.

Thanks.
