I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. Full time grandparent here so I'm not tackling anything new. I'm trying to go back and coalesce some of the core elements over the past 18 months. Each standard was a project that required so much of my attention that I never connected all the dots while working on them. I'm starting here with the harmonized diatonic chord scale in D with root on 5th and 6th string, dialing 4 note descents from the 6th of each mode to land on the 3rd.
My next project will be to go back and review major and minor 2,5,1s. Diatonic for the major. MM solutions only for the minor. Then work on the substitutions and secondary dominants and back door stuff. Meanwhile I'm back to sight reading daily from Leavitt and going to make a pass through his modern method one and two. I've done them before but was only reading the music and didn't internalize the actual content. My goal...not play jazz. Just write some tunes. Again cheers!
