You're so welcome!

Wicked

[@JorisPosthumus]

So, you are basicly playing all the modes direved from the major scale

[@seattlejazzacademy]

Exactly!

[@JorisPosthumus]

This is even cooler if you add the octave so you get a 4 note grouping

[@seattlejazzacademy]

Totally - try adding the 9th on top instead of the octave!

[@JorisPosthumus]

@@seattlejazzacademy As they all come from the C maj scale it might be better to play the 7 first. And ofcourse you can aply this on all sorts of scales, try minor melodic
