3 Draw Rule
Thu, 04/14/2011 - 06:15
If a 3 draw is prominent in your "A" lick (held for a while) it will be dissonant over the IV7 Chord and may be dissonant over the V7 Chord. Our 3 draw rule is...
I7 Chord = 3 (B... 3rd of the chord)
IV7 Chord = 3' (Bb... flat-7th of the chord)
V7 Chord = 3" (A... 5th of the chord)
These changes makes for some great phrasing and a note that matches well over each chord.
