Chromatic Passing Tones to Improvise Walking Patterns

Video Transcript

"And then at E natural, as a chromatic passing tone, going back to E flat. Remember, chromatic is all half-steps. That could make things a little more interesting, versus...Something that gives a little bit of tension on our way back there. So from E flat seven we can maybe walk our way up chromatically playing - this is okay, playing an A flat, that's normal, that's not chromatic, but going from the A flat using an A natural to get to B flat seven, then we can walk down from the B flat seven. If it's one to flat seven, six, so watch. So so far we have, B flat, D, F, E natural, E flat, G, A flat, A natural. A good one from the F seven here, do the outline, and with your first finger play the E natural back down to E flat. We have already done this as a chromatic, now we can understand it better, can't we? So use chromatics, and passing tones in general, even if they're in the scale, to just make your lines more interesting in the blues."
