Embellishing Chaffee

This is why I can't get anything done, when I sit down to practice somethingpractice something I'll get two patterns in, and get involved in developing them as playing ideas, working out how to use them as part of a continuity. It's a different thing from playing a page of stuff like a drill. 

I'm not just fooling around, it's a legitimate way to practice. But it's not great if the goal is to have a total, 100% worked out and polished body of stuff, as packaged by Gary Chaffee, or me, or whoever.  

Anyway: some embellishments to try when practicing the Chaffee linear patterns and phrases me-style, playing a single pattern/phrase and developing it:


These all suggest other possibilities, which may work better for you. Try some things.
