E dominant seventh chord-tone weave.

Name root, third, fifth, and seventh of E dominant seventh while playing a non-scalar route.

01 THE LITTLE IDEA

Here’s the lovely bit.

Listen once, count with the click, then play the displayed pattern. Name root, third, fifth, and seventh of E dominant seventh while playing a non-scalar route. Tap the indicated string/fret positions; the number keys use the currently selected chord shape. Picking direction and fretting technique are not scored. Pattern positions count from 1; 1.5 is the & of beat 1, and 1.25/1.75 are e/a. E2 (string 6, fret 0) at 1; B2 (string 5, fret 2) at 1.5; G♯2 (string 6, fret 4) at 2; D3 (string 4, fret 0) at 2.5; B2 (string 5, fret 2) at 3; E2 (string 6, fret 0) at 3.5; D3 (string 4, fret 0) at 4; G♯2 (string 6, fret 4) at 4.5. The pattern lasts 8 quarter-note beats; leave gaps silent.

Today’s little goalPlay the 8-beat pattern at 80 BPM with at least 80% recall and precision.
