Yeah it's a similar exercise. He meant it in the way of play stepwise through the tune and use the added note rules as appropriate.

Pitfalls of Patterns

Not sure if I follow this. Continuous scales do not require changing direction when chords change but it'll frequently require scale change to accommodate the new chord. How would you make all the...

If a retailer has “nexus” (physical presence or other sort of connection) in another state they’re supposed to collect sales tax for that state. If not, they don’t have to. Determining nexus is...
