Big three arpeggios for jazz - part 2

Here is the second detailing application of this idea over a common standard.


I've also written out a pdf of the arpeggios I use in this example.



Note -

  • Charlie Parker (and the other boppers) often uses a 7b9 sound - that means using the o7 substitute for a dominant.
  • Charlie Christian and many of his swing era contemporaries almost always use a 9 sound - that means using the m6 substitute. 
  • Django uses both, usually diminished in a minor key, and m6 in a major key.

Hope that makes sense!

  1. Man you are incredible in your forensic analysis of Django, Charlie Christian and Charlie Parker licks. Do you slow down your videos or have tabs? If so I would really enjoy having some lessons. My email is ntarchitecture@gmail.com
