Day 8 recap — Segment L in Scale Runs

Play an E minor pentatonic run. Find all L patterns and name them as you go.

Warmup

1

Play A natural minor scale on string 2. Find all M segments (W-H patterns). Name each one aloud: "M."

Main practice

1

Play a minor lick you know. Name every M you can identify in it.

2

Contrast M vs L: play them alternately on one string and feel the difference — L opens up, M steps down.
