I can’t find Upper 3 and 5 and anything with an Upper b7 in the approach tone video and p 31 summary…
That is correct…3, 5, and b7 are chord tones. They are the targets or resolution points! If they act as upper neighboring tones they would have to resolve to a 2, 4 or 6 which in turn should be acting as approach tones (unless they are functioning as upper extensions as you will learn in Module 4). This is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve. Is the concept of “approach tones” vs “chord tones” clear?
I meant the use as in Lower NT 3 and b7 which we have, we also have Upper NT 3 and b7 for example (and upper NT 3 and 5)….
Oh…I misunderstood because you said Upper NT 3 instead of Upper NT “for” or “of” 3. Now I see that you are referring to specific combinations in the exercises.
None of the exercises are exhaustive. Due to lack of space, not every combination possible is included. Note that this will be the case for most of the bebop calisthenics.
Once you understand the concept, you are free to explore & incorporate other possibilities such as the ones you mention!
That’s what I was hoping for. I thought we were to try and master every combination in the weeks that we had on this module in that some of these combinations might be better suited to some of the upcoming lessons with double enclosures. But then, I think I am getting ahead of myself.
Thanks Richie.
