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.
