If A Progression Contains Several Measures of a Dominant Chord,
We can Play the Scale beyond one octave until we reach the bottom of our range

&
In Order to Extend the Scale so that It isn' t limited by our range,
we arpeggiate When we Arrive on Chord Tones
Ex. 1 - Arpeggiating from the 3rd
3 - 5 - 7 - 9
Then Continue the Scale
&
Ex. 2 - Arpeggiating from the 5th
5 - 7 - 9 - 11
Then Continue the Scale
&
Ex. 3 - Arpeggiating from the 7th
7 - 9 - 11 - 13 Then Continue the Scale
&
Ex. 4 - Arpeggiating from the Root (Longer Arpeggio To Find next Chord Tone)
1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 11
Then Continue the Scale
&
We Can Combine All These Arpeggios When Playing To Create An Endless Scale
- 3rd Arpeggio - - 5th Arpeggio - - 7th Arpeggio -
