Mastering Major Diatonic Patterns A Major diatonic pattern is a pattern of notes that travel through a major tonality. Learning your diatonic patterns thoroughly is an important step in mastering the fundamentals of technique, melodic development, tonal center improvisation, more modern intervallic lines and chromatic approaches. Learning these diatonic patterns in all 12 keys will give a jazz improvisation student access to thousands of melodic ideas that they can use in their improvisations. Learning these lines will also give a student the confidence and technical skill they need to play in all 12 keys. In this book, I have included 150 diatonic patterns based off of the major scale. Some of these patterns are common but many of them are unique. I've written the patterns in all 12 keys as a resource for students to work from. Mastering these diatonic patterns will take many hours of practice and discipline but you will find the process to be very rewarding and beneficial. Once mastered, these patterns will give you the building blocks from which you can create improvised solos. Each group of notes is not just a pattern, lick or technical exercise but a melody and idea that can be used while improvising. The more melodies and ideas you have in your mind the more creative you can be as an improviser. Mastering Major Diatonic Patterns has 150 great diatonic patterns in all 12 keys. It is a PDF file that you can download immediately so you can get to work. I have also included a 25 minute video lesson where I teach you how to use the book with an Aebersold play along and the best methods to integrate the ideas into your improvisation. Thanks, Steve Neff

Mastering Major Diatonic Patterns
This is my first purchase from Steve’s website and I have to say I am very impressed and pleased. I am getting back into playing after being away for some time. I was looking for something to work on that would help me with technique, speed, and quicker visual recognition. Steve’s book is working perfectly for me and has enough content to keep me busy for quite a while. The included video is a great plus. Having Steve explain how he intended his book to be used is of great value. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to get the major scales and diatonic patterns down and improve their technique and speed at the same time. Thanks for making it available Steve. Highly recomended
Very nice approach of diatonic patterns. |
