🎶 Scale to use for improvisation: C – D – E – F – G – A – B (C Ionian)

🎼 The chord progression I used:
• Phrase 1: C – Dm – Am – F – Bm7♭5 – G
• Phrase 2: C – Dm – Am – F – Bm7♭5 – C

🎼 Chord Breakdown:
• C: 🌞 The tonic — bright, stable, and grounding. The home base of Ionian clarity.
• Dm: 🌿 Adds gentle movement and modal contrast, rooted in the natural second degree.
• Am: 🌙 A mellow sixth chord that deepens the emotional color without leaving the mode.
• F: 🌸 A lush subdominant that expands the harmonic space with warmth.
• Bm7♭5: 🌫 Introduces subtle tension — a soft shadow that enriches the brightness of Ionian.
• G: 🔔 The dominant — classic pull toward resolution, setting up the return to C.

🎯 Highlight tones for improvisation:
• E: ✨ The major third — it defines the Ionian mode’s bright and open character.
• G: 🎯 The perfect fifth — it completes the C major triad, reinforcing tonal stability and melodic strength.

This progression loops endlessly, alternating between resolution and lift. Try emphasizing the E and G to anchor your phrases in the heart of the mode — and ✨ let the Sliding Ruler guide your fingers across the fretboard! ✨
