Improvisation: Patterns & Progressions for Styles

Any arpeggiated (broken) chord pattern can serve as a "strumming" accompaniment. Although anytime signature may be used, for this improvisation, use either 3/4 or 6/8 time. Your pattern should spanone octave. The following examples serve as models.

Waltzes will always be in triple meter. For a waltz accompaniment, you may choose to stay inclosest position, or you can create a more interesting bass line and move to the closest position fromthe bass note.
