[Harp-L] Scales to th4 5th

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Another important way to learn scales is to learn scales to the 5th  
and back. C-D-E-F-G-F-E-D-C;  the next week you learn the G scale to  
the 5th and back. G-A-B-C-D-C-B-A-G then you can add the two scales  
together and you get the entire C scale C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D-C-B-A-G-F-E- 
D-C.  The next week is the D scale, D-E- F#-G-A-G-F#-E-D and this can  
be added to the G scale to form the entire G scale.

Works with minor keys as well - in A minor you add the first half of  
the E scale to the A minor scale to form the entire scale on the way  
up.  It's building scales by halfs - they are call tetra chords.

I still have a complete scale and arpeggio method, don't forget  
arpeggios, that I sell with a CD.  But in my seminar everyone learned  
that taking one scale a week and in 24 weeks you know them all.

harmonically yours,
