I would love to be able to play arpeggios all up and down the keyboard. I can imagine how it would sound (“audiate”), but my hands can’t do it gracefully, and I certainly couldn’t read it! After doing the Morning Noodle I wrote some of it out in Finale. When I had written it by hand, the notes on ledger lines looked horrifying, like Terra Incognito. But when written neatly via Finale it looked less intimidating.<\/p>\n

I can’t remember, when I was in elementary school did have trouble reading my own handwriting?<\/p>\n

I played some modified arpeggios based on inversions of A minor. The pattern is: top note of the arpeggio, approach second note from underneath, third note of arpeggio, then bottom note and up one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The chords I used are Fma7 (FACE) Dm6 (FABD), Asus2 (EABD) and Am in the 2nd inversion (EACE).<\/p>\n

This could be over a bassline of F, G, A — the ol’ flat 6, flat 7, 1 of a minor scale.<\/p>\n

That means that FABD is, like, a G9 with the G missing<\/p>\n

Ending on an Am in the second inversion means it’s a cadence but not a perfect cadence, I forget what they are called. Imperfect?<\/p>\n

I just remembered, there is a nice chord progression based on FACE FABD<\/p>\n
