Play the C note twice ascending and descending to memorize root note positions.
Create progressions using the C Bhavapriya Scale Family of Chords.
Each note of the scale is harmonized in three and four note chords (every other note).
I especially like the diminished major seventh chord!
The note to note intervals are the same for all keys. This applies to any string, octave, position.
Repeat this same process for bass, piano and any other instrument.
