7 | 1 | 2 | |||
5 | 6 | ||||
2 | 3 | 4 | |||
6 | 7 | 1 | |||
Thickest String | 3 | 4 | 5 | ||
Hints: | |||||
1. Alternating between 3 and 4 can create a sustain or release pattern in G Ionian.
| |||||
2. Rock rarely uses a major 7 chord, but including the 7 is very common for jazz.
| |||||
However, the 7 can be used better as an approach note to the root.
| |||||
3. Playing the 3rd and the 7th together makes for great usage of a minor 7 chord if you have a bass player.
| |||||
4. Usually ascend from 1 to 3 or 4, but not 7 to 3 or 4. 7 to 4 is a flat 5 usually doesn't sound good.
| |||||
5. One good lick is chromatic approach note 7 to 1 and then 3 4 1.
| |||||
6. Use 1 and 3 as a major dyad.

Tips: | |||||
1. Use the flat 9 for a Phrygian sound. Few people do, but I think its cool.
| |||||
2. This pattern is great for sweep picking.
| |||||
3. Also, use Bmin (1, 5, 3) or Bmin7 (1, 5, 3, 7) as chords to add to a solo.
| |||||
4. Just use the index finger to make the minor or the min7 chord shape.
| |||||
