Learn how to connect all Ionian scale shapes!
This exercise will teach you how to connect the Ionian shapes in the key of A.
If you get stuck on a particular shape, go back and practice it as an isolated shape.
As with all connect shape exercises, find ways to vary them:
- Rhythm, it doesn’t have to be triplets as in video
- Use the same rhythms as the Spyders you are practicing for this exercise.
- Don’t just play the exercise up the neck, go back down as well!
Connecting Ionian shapes Exercise
Make sure you start this exercise without a click, play through it slowly, make sure you get each transition exactly as in video.
Once you can do it, start really slowly to a click, use 8th notes.
As you progress, try different rhythms, including the triplet rhythm in the video.
