Now we will revisit the diatonic dominant seventh chords for C Harmonic Minor
and play them as an arpeggio.
An arpeggio is to play the notes that belong to one chord, in sequence going up or down in tone. Arpeggio is from Italian meaning "to play on a harp".
The natural tension tones from harmonic minor for the
G dominant seventh are: G7, G7b9, G7/b9/11, G11/b9/b13.
An arpeggio is to play the notes that belong to one chord, in sequence going up or down in tone. Arpeggio is from Italian meaning "to play on a harp".
The natural tension tones from harmonic minor for the
G dominant seventh are: G7, G7b9, G7/b9/11, G11/b9/b13.
G, Ab, B, C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, B, C, D, Eb, F, G
R, b2, 3, 4, 5, b6, b7, 8, b9, 10,1112,b13,b7, 1/8/R
G7 = R, 3, 5, b7 = G, B, D, F
Gb9 = R, 3, 5, b7, b9 = G, B, D, F, Ab
G11b9 = R, 3, 5, b7, b9, 11, = G, B, D, F, Ab, C
G11/b9/b13 = R, 3, 5, b7, b9, 11,b13 = G, B, D, F, Ab, C, Eb
The scale used is C harmonic Minor.
Assignment: Record this progression in all keys and play the appropriate minor scale (shown) using quarter then eighth notes on another track or with a friend. Also on the dominant seventh chord play the given arpeggio up then down in tone.
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of C harmonic minor:
Cm // Abmaj7 // Dm7b5 // G7b9 //// ////
G7 = R, 3, 5, b7 = G, B, D, F play up G, B, D, F, down D, B, G
G7/b9 = R, 3, 5, b7, 9 = G, B, D, F, A play up G, B, D, F, Ab, down F, D, B, G
G7/b9/11 = R, 3, 5, b7, 9, 11, = G, B, D, F, A, C play up G, B, D, F, Ab, C, down Ab, F, D, B, G
G11/b9/b13 = R, 3, 5, b7, 9, 11, 13 = G, B, D, F, A, C, E play up G, B, D, F, A, C, E, down C, A, F, D, B, G
Now play the dominant seventh chord and all its natural tensions arpeggio style. Do this for each key.
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of C# harmonic minor:
C#m //A#maj7 // D#m7b5 // G#7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of D harmonic minor:
Dm // Bbmaj7 // Em7b5 // A7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of Eb harmonic minor:
Ebm // Bmaj7 // Fm7b5 // Bb7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of E harmonic minor:
Em // Cmaj7 // F#m7b5 // B7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of F harmonic minor:
Fm // Dbmaj7 // Gm7b5 // C7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of F# harmonic minor:
F#m // Dmaj7 // G#m7b5 // C#7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of G harmonic minor:
Gm // Ebmaj7 // Am7b5 // D7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of Ab harmonic minor:
Abm //Emaj7 // Bbm7b5 // D#7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of A harmonic minor:
Am // Fmaj7 // Bm7b5 // E7b9 //
i, VI, ii7b5 , V7b9 in the key of Bb harmonic minor:
Bbm // Gbmaj7// Cm7b5 // F7b9 //
C# Db same note different name (enharmonic) also D# Eb, F# Gb, G# Ab, A# Bb.
Now record (or have a friend play) these progressions in all fifteen keys using all diatonic dominant natural extensions.
Also do the progressions at a very slow tempo to hear tension and release of chords. Start at 50 BPM. Then increase by 10 BPM every cycle of fifteen keys.
Now transpose these to each position (register) of your instrument, then to all 15 keys.
