In this video, I am going to use some Jazz Licks to cover some of the techniques and how you use them on a Maj7th chord. The 5 examples will show you how you can use Chromaticism, Arpeggios, trills and octave displacement on a maj7th chord. Learning the rules of a jazz language like Bebop can be a really useful way to study and internalize that sound.
