Two Notes. Every Chord. Total Control.

👉 Free PDF: https://subscribepage.io/Dexter-Fast-Chords Fast-moving chord changes make most players panic. The usual response is to try to play more notes, more scales, more information. Dexter does the opposite. In this video, we break down a phrase from Dexter Gordon’s solo on Watermelon Man (Herbie Hancock, Takin’ Off), where he builds the line around a simple two-note motif and moves it through the harmony with total composure. You’ll learn: • Dexter's motif • How he moves it through C7 ↔ Bb7 with clear voice leading • How to practise it step by step (without memorising “licks”) • Several ways to use it as a starting point for your own improvising • How to drop the idea into a solo so it becomes part of your playing 👉 Free PDF (all transpositions + practice steps): https://subscribepage.io/Dexter-Fast-Chords If you try the idea, let me know how it feels in the comments. ⸻ Watermelon Man (Herbie Hancock) Album: Takin’ Off (1962) 🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QkGAaYtXA0 ⸻ If you found this helpful you might like: 🎥 One Shape.
