Improvisation V - "Like Someone In Love" Part 2
In previous improvisation exercises, I changed the fret range but kept the key the same. In this series of exercises on the song “Like Someone in Love”, the fret range stays the same but the key of the song will change each month. This month the key is G major while last month it was Eb major. The fret range is the same as last month, between the 6th and 10th frets inclusively.
For new readers, the rules of this exercise are:
Arpeggiate the chords of a song in 8th notes within a five-fret range of the guitar.
Starting on the lowest available chord tone in that range (in this case, B, the third of a G major 7th chord) and arpeggiate upward. Change directions only when the next chord tone falls outside of the five-fret range.
While the purpose of this exercise is to improvise according to the above rule, some find it helpful to read through a reference exercise. You can find one chorus written out here and watch me perform it here.
