CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Arpeggios ala Matini) Volume 2 + backing tracks
CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Arpeggios ala Matini) Volume 2
In this chapter of my “Chromatic Methenyisms” book series I will like to present a few ideas for chromatic melodic ornamentation (in the style of the great guitarist Pat Metheny) over the basic four-note arpeggios (maj7, min7 and Dominant 7). Volume 2 concentrates on some lower-range arpeggio shapes which are mainly positioned between the 6th and 4th string on the instrument.
The accompanying video contains all examples performed at tempo as well as slowed down and in the transcription you will find a detailed description of the specific articulation and phrasing used to achieve the melodic sensibility and feel of Metheny.
Each chromatic melodic ornamentation idea is designed to physically fit within a basic arpeggio “position skeleton” on the fretboard. It is then moved/transposed over the position skeletons of all the inversions of the four-note arpeggios. Combining these position skeletons will give you the ability to create longer and wide-interval phrases over the entire range of the instrument.
This is also a great technique for combining the inside sound of the basic four chord tones of every harmony with the outside/altered sonic textures provided to us by the chromatic ornamentation.
