For example, the chord C 6 contains the notes C–E–G–A. The minor sixth chord (min 6 or m 6, e.g., Cm 6) is a minor triad, still with a major 6. For example, the chord Cm 6 contains the notes C–E ♭ –G–A. The augmented sixth chord usually appears in chord notation as its enharmonic equivalent, the seventh chord.
In contrast, in the chord-scale system, a different scale is used for each chord in the progression (for example mixolydian scales on A, E, and D for chords A 7, E 7, and D 7, respectively). [5] Improvisation approaches may be mixed, such as using "the blues approach" for a section of a progression and using the chord-scale system for the rest. [6]
These include, in addition to the "simple" scales of the first tutorial: forms derived from scales (chords incorporated into scales); chromatic "sliding-finger" (or "sixth-finger") technique; repeated notes; arpeggios and broken chords; examples of "three-hands"; trills; examples with arpeggios; and further examples of "three hands."

They may follow singly one after the other, or two notes may be immediately followed by another two, for example. See also arpeggio, which as an accompaniment pattern may be seen as a kind of broken chord; see Alberti bass. bruscamente
