My approach is therefore, based on: visual patterns that target chord-tones. This would seem to be an obvious pathway, if one has acquired a firm chord knowledge, however, such awareness has dropped to a very low priority, especially nowadays, when one-dimensional scale skill, seems to be the emphasis of most music publications and hence, student concerns. Speed and scales are fine as far as they go, but represent only the tip of a musical iceberg...

The focus here, is not on tricks, licks or scales (which are fine), but rather, a context for self-instruction, design, and a clear understanding of some basic musical laws. Many of the concepts are well suited to those who would like to "shape-up" their playing or "re-shape" their improvisational skills.
