target

• The most important thing we need to think about when we improvise a walking line through a chord progression is

   targeting.

  
•  This is when you target a particular note in the following chord – it can be a chord tone or even a non-chord tone. 

  
• The idea is that you start planning a route to the next chord by targetting a certain note

  
• Remember that there are loads of different ways to get from one chord to another, these include

  • Chromatic approach notes
  • Diatonic approach notes
  • Scale degrees
  • Arpeggios
