In this pack, Felix Pastorius demonstrates an innovative new method he has developed for voice-leading using drop 2 chords in the major scale, but this time he descends the scale. As he explains, by starting with the root position major seven drop 2 chord and always moving the seventh down to the next scale degree one can create a pattern of descending chords that cycles down the major scale in thirds. Gmaj7, Em7, Cmaj7, Am7, F#m7b5, D7, Bm7, Gmaj7, Em7, etc. The pattern repeats for as long as you have frets. Each seventh moves down to become the root in the next drop 2 chord in the pattern. This way of looking at and practicing chords will undoubtedly open you up to new sounds and possibilities. The theory is dense, but once you have mastered the pattern, a wealth of new sounds awaits you. Good luck and happy practicing.
