Random Roots for better practice (antonjazz.com)

Maybe this is useful for some of you - it's a table of optimized random root sequences for the chromatic scale.

Ive found it helpful for reducing the influence of muscle memory when working things out on the fretboard. If I'm practicing things e.g. chromatically or moving around the cycle I find myself cheating and relying on pattern knowledge as opposed to actually thinking about where my notes are.

The guy has a better explanation and some use cases on his site. Enjoy!

I used to have a dice to determine the roots I would practice in... Shaking it up is definitively important and helpful.

If you want to discuss music theory further, join us at https://feddit.de/c/musictheory. :)

Brilliant. Maybe we can get something going there. Also: spread the word if you want to. (:
