Hi there!
I'm new to iReal Pro so forgive me if this kind of thing has been asked around here before. What I'm looking to do is create a handful of exercises to practice chord voicings against a simple bass that only plays the root (or 5th, but I do not want it to play chord qualities like the 3rd or 7th). In order to achieve this I was fiddling around and discovered putting the root I want as a slash over itself (i.e. C/C, G/G etc) seems to just play the root with occasional octaves. Although it's not what I had in mind it's totally fine for my purposes.
My goal is I want to be able to use these exercises for both major and minor chord voicings, running them through different root cycles.
I started by creating a simple exercise running up and down by half-step roots. Here is a screenshot of what I created so far, one root per measure (I'm also attaching my iReal Pro file for this exercise):
This technically works fine for my needs, but I was curious to know if there's a better or more efficient way to do this before I proceed with my other exercises (moving by whole-step, thirds, etc). Or if this is the right way, let me know.
Thank you!
