Improvisation IX - "Everything I Love" Part 3
This is the last exercise in a series of exercises based on the song “Everything I love” and tritone substitutions. This month the range of the arpeggio exercise has been shifted to the 10th-14th frets inclusive. Each month the fret range has shifted upwards 4 four frets. By the end of three months, then, I have covered an entire octave range on the guitar.
As always, 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, E, the seventh 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.
