Mike's Music Musings

 Here is a collection of three note patterns for fast legato playing. I've changed up the note sequence and rhythm for pattern variations

I was transcribing Stan Getz's solo over "Pra Machucar Meu Coracao" off the Live at Carnegie Hall album. I saw that he outlined a D7 over Gbdim7. I remembered that the half-whole diminished scale played over a diminished chord contains four 7b9 chords within it. Over Gbdim7, these chords are D7, F7, Ab7, and B7. I transcribed Getz's D7 lick then created my own lick over the other four 7th chords. Each chord has a distinct flavor over the Gbdim7, I think my favorite is the D7.
