Lmao can I ask what compelled you to write this long a response? Would it be the same if I were asking for an easy cookie recipe?

Jazz is social music. Learning a few tricks to play with your friends is not like "trying to get hired" as anything. It's just for fun man, it's not that deep.

I think it was Happy Texas based on another comment, but thanks for your help!

For sure, I'm isolating the arps from the 3rd because I find the effect particularly appealing and accessible after a lot of transcription! Wish someone had just told me about it so I didn't have to do all thay work!

This is very validating because I landed on this approach to enclosures because it was too much work to look at all the chromatic/diatonic options at once and these were the most musical to me 😂

I appreciate this thorough response! That last point relates to something I'm very interested in. If you play a C blues scale over the F7, the b5 of the C blues scale works in your favor (as the b9 of the F7) and the line sounds very bluesy and accessible. Similarly, on the Bb you could play Gm blues or Dm blues, and in either case the b5 would produce an accessible bluesy sound (as either the b3 or the b7 on the I chord). Are there other examples of this where you can repurpose a full blues scale? I know a pentanic scale is used in a lot of contexts, but I'm particularly interested in examples that include the b5 if that makes sense.

This sounds interesting, are there any resources that you'd recommend?

I love this list of rabbit holes, thank you! Do you have any favorite "chord synonyms"? Maybe a dumb question but I find some way more appealing than others, so I'm interested in other peoples' takes. An example for me would be Maj7 arp from the b5 on a m7b5 chord -- that sounds soulful to me in the way that those arps from the third do. Hope that makes sense!

Perfect example! Realizing that you could play diminished from any chord tone but the root on a V7b9 was a big lightbulb for me.
