Building Chords Ch. 3 - Part 4 (Creating Exercises - Making Things Musical)

In the final video of this brief Creating Exercises miniseries, I go over my process of finding something inherently valuable about a topic I'm practicing and how I develop that thing into some exercises that can also double as cool musical tools. The valuable thing I'll be discussing in this video will be Outer String shapes and the new options I have to play them using the 3 Lead Triads. Be prepared for six Power Ups! The video starts with an intro at 0:00, then I discuss looking for something valuable at 1:38, explain why outer strings are valuable to me at 3:33, present two options for outer strings at 5:07, and show how to improvise with the new tool at 11:47. I also talk about ears talking to hands at 17:51, modify an old exercise at 20:09, and walk through several power ups: F major outer strings at 22:18 and 29:42, G minor outer strings at 32:48 and 39:35, F major passing notes and chords at 42:33 and 53:33, F major passing notes at 57:18, G minor passing notes at 1:00:02 and 1:09:28, applying the exercise to a progression at 1:12:28, outer string exercise with triad pairs at 1:24:34, Am-G triad pair in one position at 1:35:51 and 1:40:57, and B-Am triad pair leads in one position at 1:44:18 and 1:58:12.
