    Hi Fredrik, I have a question about Slonimsky's Master Chords. I don't really understand whats their function. Let me explain better. Let's take the exercise N1, we have C/F#/C Tritone with one note Interpolation, and we have F#7, C7, B7, F7 chords. Despite the fact that I don't get why we have B7 and F7, I was wondering, are these 4 chords the only chords where I can use ex.1 to improvise? (of course in the key of C). Hopefully I'm making some sense.

  • @fredrikpihl

    Hey Alessandro! The Slonimsky concepts are mainly based on symmetrical patterns and that's why you get these strange combinations of notes and chords. As for improvising go with your ear and judgement and if you like the sound of what you're playing, then go for it! :)

  • @Danumurti18

    So, if I take 3 octave, I can divide it by 9, which is major 6, right? So if I play in A Dorian, playing 6 note, and then F# Dorian for 6 note, and then D# Dorian for 6 note, end in C, which is resolving the tension because I play in A Dorian. Am I get it right about the concept?

  • @fredrikpihl

    @fredrikpihl

    Pretty much. The major 6 becomes the next root note of the multi-tonic scale. After three different root tonics you end up on the original. This is also symmetrical, meaning that you could start on any of these three tonics over the chord you play over.

    The guitar version book is great for non-readers of notation. I always try to teach that the most important part is to understand the general concepts and then apply them in your own playing. No point in learning all the examples, but rather using them as inspiration.
