Learn a step-by-step method for turning any chord progression into a montuno pattern, with examples from Satin Doll and practical exercises.
This lesson shows how to build montuno patterns by choosing the correct clave placement, creating complementary outside and inside lines, and using guide tones and moving inner voices. Ariel demonstrates the approach on examples like Satin Doll and an Em7→A7 progression, explains pickup placement and how to break the montuno for turnarounds, and offers parallel-voice exercises. A downloadable PDF includes annotated examples and exercises in all keys, plus call-and-response backing tracks for practice.
