Day 1140min
Segment Chain Reading
Today's concept
A scale passage is a chain of segments. G major ascending on one string produces the chain L-M-P-L-L-M (six overlapping 3-note groups across one octave). Knowing this chain lets you predict the next segment in a run before you play it.

Day 10 recap — Segments P and S
Find 3 S segments in a pentatonic run. Name them.
Warmup
1
Play G major scale on one string ascending. At each note, say the upcoming segment type before playing it. First few times: pause and think.
Main practice
1
Goal: no pause — the segment name arrives before the note.
2
Play descending — name the same chain in reverse.
3
Play a familiar lick and describe its full segment chain immediately after.
