8.45Your first “arranger's toolkit”

By the end of this module, I want these patterns available without much thought:

Block

Bass + chord

Waltz

Alberti

Straight arpeggio

Open fifth + upper chord

Simple stride-lite

Basic syncopation

You do not need virtuosity in all of them yet.

You just need to know:

“I can choose a texture.”

That is a major change in how you approach a chord chart.
