This practice progression is meant to act as a companion to the many great lessons that include exercises but do not give any progression to practice them with.
You could also do a number of variations with constants structures as shown below.
Suggested practice methods (certainly not limited to):
- Play Scale or Arpeggio up one chord and down the next
- Play Scale or Arpeggio up all chords or down all chords
- Play guide tones
- Improvise
- Try playing just the rood of each chord, then move to just 3rds, 5ths, 7ths, 9ths, etc…
- Alternate specific chord tone from one chord to another. (Play third, then 5th, then 3rd, then 5th, etc…)
- Play specific pattern on each chord. (example: 3, 7, R, 5)
- Just go nuts!
