Days you practiced so far:
Practice strategy: One Drone, Many Tunes
If you want to go deep into a scale and tunes that use it, then try this out.
- Start a drone track.
- Play a scale for that.
- So if we have D drone, we can play D major or a D minor scale (Dorian or Aeolian).
- Play a tune that has a root of D
- So for D drone, you can play tunes in D major like Oh Susannah, Peacock Rag, etc.
- You can also play tunes in D minor, like Shady Grove.
- Continue to alternate between scales and tunes with the same drone for as long as you like.
This is a great way to practice a new scale. It’s also a fun way to review a lot of tunes using the same root.
