hardD Pentatonic Phrase Shifting
Create a 5-note phrase (D-F#-A-B-D) that takes exactly 3 beats to play. Loop this phrase continuously in 4/4 time. It will start on different beats each time: beat 1, beat 4, beat 3, beat 2, then back to beat 1. Master this cycle at 100 BPM.
Tip: When your phrase length doesn't match your time signature, you create a hypnotic cycle. Steve Reich built a career on this concept - embrace the mathematical beauty.
