This is the framework for my current project in progress to take what I have learned from the rest of the site and put into a more learnable sequence.
Material progresses from simple forms into more complex forms, featuring notation in TAB, traditional black-dot notation, and chord forms in both vertical and horizontal layouts. These pages are geared more toward actually players than some of the more theoretical pages on the Patter Obsession website
All exercises are also available on the Pattern Obsession YouTube Page youtube.com/PatternObsession if you need to audio support.
Please donate to my new Patreon Page for clean PDF copies of this material.
