Ingredients:

1 triad (any chord will do)

A pinch of rhythmic spice

A generous scoop of intention

2 slices of enclosure (above & below)

A leap of faith (intervallic motion)

Optional: tension notes

Method:

Start simple. Play your triad. Hear it. Feel it. Own it.

Enclose the magic — surround one of the chord tones with half-step movement, like a melodic hug.

Leap to surprise — skip expected notes and reach for a fifth, sixth, or tension to open a new door.

Spice it up with rhythm. Swing it. Syncopate it. Let your phrase breathe like a jazz poet.

Translate the phrase — now move the same concept to another chord. Don’t copy. Translate.

Superimpose — raise the fifth, add a flat nine. Feel the stretch. Let tension guide you home.

Taste your creation. If it sings, you're cooking. If it stumbles, adjust the seasoning.

🎶 “You’re not learning licks. You’re discovering a language.”

Repeat daily. Serve over any chord progression.
Best enjoyed with curiosity, courage, and a dash of groove.

and Have a great, inspiring day!
Daniel
