Improvisation VIII - "Everything I Love" Part 2
Last month, I changed my usual improvisation exercise by tritone subbing every V7 chord that would resolve to its associated I chord in the song “Everything I Love”. This month, I continue that practice by shift the range of the arpeggio exercise to the 6th-10th frets inclusive.
As always, the rules of the game 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, C, the fifth of an F major 7 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 may find it helpful to read through a reference exercise. You can find one chorus written out here and watch me perform it here.
