10 Inside / Outside Melodic Phrases (ii-V7alt-I)

10 Inside / Outside Melodic Phrases (ii-V7alt-I)

In this study I want to demonstrate how I apply the concepts from my recently released book “Opposite Sonorities Volume 1 - Melodic Contradiction” (which I co-wrote with Ezequiel Ocampo) to produce interesting ii-V7alt-I melodic vocabulary that navigates between the “inside” and “outside” character of each harmony.

The goal here is to try to visualize and find the closest modes/inversions of each original minor pentatonic scale and its "opposite" major counterpart so that you can maintain the smoothest and most efficient voice-leading when you switch between these opposing sonorities.

All examples in the study are in the key of C major so the chords are Dmin7, G7 and Cmaj7.
