Part 3/8:
Simple Phrase: Play a major scale pattern, starting with the G lydian, emphasizing the 1, 3, 5, and 7.
Intervallic Jump: Move up to the 9th (A) and then to the augmented fourth (F#), creating a spread that widens the melodic interval.
Octave Expansion: Jump significantly higher to the 11th (B) and back down to G, incorporating large intervals into your lines.
On Piano:
Rick provides auditory examples on piano, allowing players to internalize the sound and rhythm of these large spans. The result: an expansive, lush sound that can be translated to the guitar.
