Method of melodic patterns in harmonic context on standard progressions of the circle of fifths.

 

The method consists of 3 volumes with a total of 253 pages.

 

Volume 1 contains melodic patterns developed and linked to one another over the chord progression of the circle of fourths or fifths. This seven-chord progression contains, in certain sections, many other standard chord progressions that move in intervals of a fourth (major and minor ii-vi, etc.), and other "hidden" chord progressions (substitutes, etc.) to which the same pattern lines can be applied. This comprehensive understanding of melody in relation to harmony also makes it possible to have several harmonic analyses for the same chord progression.

 

Volume 2 contains, in section 1, melodic and rhythmic resources for modifying patterns, and in section 2, resources for expanding or multiplying patterns. It is a guide with examples of various melodic and rhythmic resources for modifying the patterns in volume 1 to obtain new patterns (e.g., interval inversions, melodic and rhythmic reductions, displacements, etc.), and other resources for expanding them to achieve longer patterns with more notes (e.g., with fifth substitutions, bebop scales, chromatic lines, etc.).

 

Volume 3 explains with examples how to adapt and apply the patterns from Volume 1 and the resources from Volume 2 to other chord progressions. It is divided into two sections: the first with standard diatonic progressions (II-VI, turnarounds, etc.) and the second section with non-diatonic progressions (secondary and substitute dominants, modal interchanges, reharmonization of diminished chords, etc.).

 

It is sent in PDF format and also includes backing tracks in iReal Pro format with different routines for basic, intermediate and advanced levels.
