We'll explore a creative way to build a jazz line over a major 7 chord by turning each chord tone into its own arpeggio based on the Lydian mode. Connect these arpeggios using a triplet rhythm inspired by Wes Montgomery's phrasing. Take the four chord tones of a major 7 chord (the root, third, fifth, and seventh) and build an arpeggio from each one using the chord scale of the Lydian sound. If we are in C major, the arpeggios would be: Root (C): C major 7 arpeggio Third (E): E minor 7 arpeggio Fifth (G): G major 7 arpeggio Seventh (B): B minor 7 arpeggio By linking these arpeggios with a flowing triplet rhythm, we get a melodic phrase that sounds modern but is still grounded in classic jazz guitar language. 📁 Written Out in All 12 Keys, comment "guitar" for the link of the tabs on Patreon!
