Fusion style Legato 2-1-2 style over a ii-v-1 progression v.3, altered dominant, lydian


This lick demonstrates a very important concept. You may remember from discussions on my dodecaphonics theory (see dodecaphonics on jackzucker.com/dodecaphonics) that you can layer dominant 7 chords in minor 3rds over top of each other.
What you may not know is you can use dom7 chords in minor 3rds against a Maj7 chord starting on the 7th of chord.


So against FMaj7, you can use E7, G7, Bb7 Db7. This works because these are based off the Fdim chord which is a temporary suspension of the FMaj7 chord.


So in this lick, we use the following arpeggios:


Over:
Gm7 we use Gm9 arpeggio
C7 we use DbMaj7#5 arpeggio
FMaj7 we use Db7#9 Bb7#9 G7#9 arpeggios


This suspended sound is similar to how you'd use a sus chord on a tonic but adds the #9, #4 and other alterations from the diminished scale.
