Make Your Lines Flow Through Any Chord Changes

Today I’m breaking down one of my favourite practice tools for building real fluency across changing harmony. We’ll use Herbie Hancock’s Maiden Voyage as the example, because it’s a perfect tune for this. The harmony doesn’t move in familiar 2-5-1 patterns, so it forces you to deal with scales and chord changes in a much more deliberate way. The goal is simple: Keep one continuous line moving through the chord changes without stopping, resetting, or losing your flow. It’s a technical exercise, but if you stick with it, it builds the kind of control that makes improvising feel much more natural and connected. I still come back to this regularly in my own practice, it's one of the first tools I reach for when I'm working on a tricky chord sequence. ⸻ The free PDF walks you through the full exercise step by step, including notation for concert pitch (treble and bass clef), Bb, Eb and F instruments: 👉 Download the PDF here: https://flow-through-any-changes.subscribepage.io If you try it, let me know in the comments how you get on. ⸻ Maiden Voyage by Herbie Hancock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWC5x9G45yo ⸻ I post weekly videos like this designed to turn musical concepts into instincts you can actually use when you play. 👍 Like the video if you found it helpful 🔔 Subscribe for more Buy me a coffee ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/thesoundkitchen
