CHROMATIC METHENYISMS (Arpeggios ala Matini) Volume 3 - Chromafills (min7)

In this chapter of my “Chromatic Methenyisms” book series I will be exploring a few very easy and effective techniques for chromatic melodic ornamentation in the style of Pat Metheny which I call “Chromafills.” I will be demonstrating how we can apply such chromatic mechanisms over basic minor 7 arpeggio patterns (skeletons) in all their inversions.

The accompanying video masterclass 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.

The video tutorial will also cover in great depth the four intervallic architectures that are found within the physical layout of any given minor 7 arpeggio (fingering/pattern) and the different options for chromatic melodic ornamentation that we have available for each one of them.

Each chromatic melodic ornamentation technique is designed to physically fit within the basic arpeggio “position skeleton” on the fretboard. 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.
