GEOMETRY OF HARMONIC TENSION Part 2 - melodic minor (Encapsulated Quintal Clusters and their ii-V7-i Application) Video Masterclass + backing tracks

GEOMETRY OF HARMONIC TENSION Part 2 - melodic minor (Encapsulated Quintal Clusters and their ii-V7-i Application)

In this study and video masterclass I will be presenting different ideas as to how we can use three unique modal voicings (RRL, RLC and RCR) to represent all diatonic harmonies of the melodic minor scale as well as the application of such chordal textures when they are incorporated within ii-V7-i harmonic passages in a minor key. I will be exploring the three different polyphonic geometries (which are based on revolving intervals of a 5th) through all string sets and mode positions on the fretboard.

This approach to “chordal playing” is based purely on the geometry and visual architecture of a chordal structure (abstract geometrical shapes that can be easily recognized on the fretboard) and does not particularly relate to the conventional harmonic principles and teachings of the western music tradition.

The study will also present and analyze in great detail 5 different (4 measure) modern chordal phrases over a ii-V7-i progression in the key of C minor.
