3 Tasty Licks Which Highlight The 6th!
I got a question from Dojukan who asked for some specific licks which highlight the 6th.
So listen to the Gm6 chord and hear the sound of the 6th.
It’s the E natural.
It does give any major or minor chord a great flavour and is right in the pocket for the gypsy jazz sound.
Here’s 3 licks that I use to highlight the 6th in G minor:
1. This is a very simple G minor arpeggio that lands on the 6th. This outline the G minor chord at the 3rd fret.
2. When soloing in G minor I like to make use of the open E in a lick like this: F# G Bb D G Bb E (open e)
3. Here’s a cool sounding little like that also lands on and highlights the 6th. D D# E C E.
Also use the G minor chord on the 10th fret to play a lick landing on the E natural (14th fret D string or 12th fret E string).
It’s all about learning and absorbing these small tasty bite size ideas into your playing. Before you know it you’ve got a ton of great stuff at your fingertips!
Swing Out!
