When you are improvising in 4/4 odd note groupings are a very useful way to vary the rhythmic flow of your improvised melodies, since they are a way of creating a tension by not following the underlying meter. In this lesson I am describing how you might emphasize this in exercises and demonstrate how I might use it in II V I lines. You can of course download the pdf of the exercises and examples here: http://jenslarsen.nl/making-ii-v-i-lines-with-odd-note-groupings/ If you like the video then please subscribe to stay up to date with new lessons. I publish a new lesson every Thursday!
