Video Lesson

A sequence is simply how we put things in order. In music, there are two common types of sequences; rhythmic, and melodic.

Rhythmic Sequences are just the rhythm we use to play a phrase. For chords, think of your strumming pattern as your rhythmic sequence.

Melodic Sequences are how you play a series of notes. Think about playing A, B, C, D; then B, C, D, E. These two lines would have the same Melodic Sequence; they share a series of seconds. A, C, E, G and C, E, G, B also share the same Melodic Sequence; thirds.

In this lesson, I will show you how to take a scale shape and add sequences to your creative toolbox.
