That was a good read, thanks! Did this topic come up on the live stream yesterday?

There was one thing I didn't follow. At one point the writer says something like "the augmented pattern repeats every 2 frets" or something to that effect. Major brain cramp on that one.

I think the blues rhythm motifs are a work in process so it is not yet available.

Still humid here in Florida for the next month or so. But in winter it gets dry but not as in Ohio where I used to live.

Bob C. I see why you'd say that but if you're talking about Ex 24, it's not really a harmonic progression. It's just 4 unrelated chords so I took it to mean that the intervals should be the same.

Bob C. No it's not repeating the same notes its repeating the same shape but the notes need to conform to the chord

Melodic Devices Pt 1 Homework -

Here's a link to my attempt.  Not sure in Ex 27 if extending the cell across 2 bars is something he wanted us to do (I know it's America, but...)

Melissa C. Nope. Do tell

That's cheating. I was gonna give you a response. BTW look at the melody in measures 9-12, it's the Chipmunk Song "we can hardly stand to wait..."

Eric, that's great! Love it

Erich G. Yeah I should have done a blues tune. Probably would have been more useful to me. I had just started working on this song and thought it would help with a deep dive which it did but man, it took me a whole day to get half of the chorus and I didn't even try to add any chord phrases. I was just glad I got to bar 16 and stopped.
