Chromatic Movement of Patterns

• It is always safe to move a similar pattern chromatically to create an interesting effect in your solo lines.
• This technique can be use in almost ANY chord changes, but there must be a point of resolution, usually a chord tone.

An example is seen here in bar 16 of the transcription

• A series of augmented chords moving chromatically upwards.
• Point of resolution is at the next bar, bar 17, with chord tones from a Cmaj9 chord.

Hope you find this transcription and analysis educational. Feel free to drop a comment for any further enquiries.
Have fun and Enjoy… 🙂
