Now I want to talk about example number 11 a little bit, give you a little preface to this lick.
One really cool arpeggio that you can play on altered chords is a diminished arpeggio.
And if you look carefully at the upper part of a dominant 7 chord, when you have an Eb7 for example,
[G] the 3rd, [Bbm] the 5th and the b7 [Bbm] is a diminished
[G] arpeggio.
And if you take it one step further up to the b9, it completes the diminished [E] arpeggio.
[Bb] [Gm] We'll [E] have a listen to it against the chord.
Here we go.
[Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[B] So that arpeggio is a straight diminished arpeggio and you can think [G] of it either starting on the 3rd,
[Bb] or the b7, or the 5th or the b9.
[G] Basically the 4 notes of the diminished arpeggio give you the 3rd, the 5th, the b7 and the b9 of the chord.
Let me give you a little lick example of this.
Example number 11 is an Eb7b9 going to an Abmaj7.
Here we go.
[Eb] 1, 2, 3, [Db] 4.
[Eb]
[Db] [Eb] [B] Now that arpeggio is really fun to sequence too.
As I did in that lick, you can see there's a
[Eb] You can continue [A] sequencing that phrase.
[Eb] Forwards or backwards.
[Bbm] [G] You can get a lot of mileage out of that sound by sequencing that diminished arpeggio 4 [A] notes at a time.
And [Eb] starting on the next note, 4 notes [E] at a time.
[Eb] Etc.
etc.
