cd track 60

Our first approach to constructing an arpeggio covering all three extensions. As we’ve seen over the last two month’s, we can do this by taking our ‘home’ IV (C maj7) arpeggio, and adding the triad built from the next consecutive degree - in this case D major. The notes are: D(R), F#(3rd) and A(5th), which gives us the 9th(D), #11th (F#), and 13th(A) degrees when viewed from our IV C maj7/ C Lydian tonal centre. The example applies it to shape 1 in bars 1 and 2, and shape 4 in bars 3 and 4.
