A daily 3-step guided practice for targeting chord-tones, building guide-tone lines, and applying tensions over jazz standards.
This lesson leads you through a focused, repeatable practice routine: Step 1 isolates chord-tones, Step 2 develops smooth guide-tone lines, and Step 3 explores tensions/extensions and their appropriate alterations. Each step is demonstrated using a jazz standard ("Alice in Wonderland") and includes practical tips for voice-leading, avoid/available tensions, and when to substitute chord members. Designed for incremental progress, the workout emphasizes ear training and linear harmonic understanding and finishes with free improvisation to apply the targets musically.
