5 Ways to Go BEYOND Scales and Arpeggios in Jazz
1. Using wide intervals like fourths and fifths. 2. Angular playing, which involves combinations of large intervals in randomized orders. 3. Overtone matching, which involves the use of false fingerings to create different timbres. 4. Melodic cells, which are groups of notes with a clear starting and ending point that can vary chromatically. 5. Pentatonic shifting, which involves combining two or more pentatonic scales that are inside and outside of the tonality.
