6 Chromatic Approaches in eremy Pelt s solo on Holy Land eremy Pelt s solo illustrates a variety of ways chord tones can be chromatically encircled and how this can function to extend lines and better establish the harmony. The following will examine examples from Pelt s solo and breakdown how they function. Analysis Chromatically approaching chord tones is a common technique and it occurs in a variety of ways. Example 1 provides two illustrations. First, over the Gmin7, the root is approached from below with the 7th and from above with the 9th. Second, over the C7, the th of the next chord (Fma7) is approached from below (b7-7) and then from above (9-b9). # # # N Example 1 Fma 7 Gmin 7 C b7 7 9 b9 a n Example 2 also provides two illustrations of encirclement. First, over the B7, the third is approached from above with the 11th and from below with the #9. Second, over the Bb7, the root is approached from below with the 7th and from above bwith the 9th. A similar approach # is found in Example 1. # Example 2 n B 7 11 # # # # N Gmin 7 C 7 Fma 7 The 11-#9 approach to the third is found again in Example, but is extended in an interesting way. Pelt anticipates the Bb7 by arriving on the D natural on beat 4 of the B7. As he does in Example a 2, Pelt uses n the 11-#9 approach to the third over the B7; however, this is overlapped by the same approach to the Bb7: # # # n Example b( ) (11 #9 9) 11 #9 9 b7 # 6 # B 7 # # #( ) n n # n

7 Finally, over the Bb7, Pelt uses a b7-# encirclement around the 6th. The b7-# encirclement is another version of the 11-#9 encirclement. All in all, this line is a particularly compelling use of this technique. In Example 4, the root is encircled with upper and lower neighbour notes: Example # n D However, in this instance, the encirclement of the root can also be understood as an extension of the dominant chord from the preceding measure. Example 4a # # b n n (A7) 4 1 # n Application b N Here are a few patterns that would be useful to practice before applying this technique to chord progressions. These should be extended through the full range of your instrument. # # n N # n # # n n n n # etc. # n n n # # n n # n n # # etc. # # # n # # etc. # # n # # # etc.
