Chick Corea/Frank Gambale blues/fusion inspired 4ths w/inner neighboring tone and compound rhythm


There's a lot to unpack with this lick. It's inspired by Chick Corea and something he likes to do to create compound rhythms. Instead of utilizing 5 notes patterns, he would play a 4 note pattern and insert a rest and then play the next 4 note pattern. This creates a 5 over 4 compound rhythm.


The other thing is that this lick is a set of diatonic 4ths with an inner 5th (neigboring tone). When you look at the tab, the black notes are the 4ths and the green note is the inner neighboring tone.


And finally, the lick is played with hybrid picking, pick, middle, ring and pick for the 4 note pattern.


Incidentally, Frank Gambale borrowed the 4 note pattern + the rest, and uses it all the time.
