Chord cells are short melodic shapes that can be used to outline a chord. Check out my YouTube video for the first video in a series of “Digital Pattern” exercises that you can use to sing your ideas through whatever instrument you play.
In the examples below I utilized the chord changes for John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps”.
Hope you enjoy and happy practicing!
