Working with "Out" tones II

Using scales with added chromatic tones

As I detailed in a previous article, a common musical question that guitarists often discuss is “How can we use outside chromatic tones logically and effectively?”

The following examples demonstrate several more sequence patterns using scale fingerings with chromatic tones added.

ex.1
E ||---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
B ||---------------------------------|---------------------------7-9-10-|
G ||---------------------------------|-----------6-7-9-6-9-7-8-9--------|
D ||---------------------------6-7-9-|-6-9-7-8-9------------------------|
A ||-----------5-7-9-5-9-7-8-9-------|----------------------------------|
E ||-5-9-7-8-9-----------------------|----------------------------------|

E |-------------7-9-10-|-12-9-11-10-9-----------------------------|
B |-7-10-8-9-10--------|--------------12-10-9-12-9-11-10-9--------|
G |--------------------|-----------------------------------11-9-7-|
D |--------------------|------------------------------------------|
A |--------------------|------------------------------------------|
E |--------------------|------------------------------------------|

E |---------------------------------------|-------------------||[repeat]
B |---------------------------------------|-------------------||
G |-11-7-10-9-7---------------------------|-------------------||
D |-------------11-9-7-11-7-10-9-7--------|-------------------||
A |--------------------------------11-9-7-|-11-7-10-9-7-------||
E |---------------------------------------|------------10-9-7-||
