Target notes, chord by chord3rds and 7ths played soft, sweetened with 9ths and 6ths — soul color tones. Slide into the 3rd from a half step below; double-stop 4ths sliding in parallel are the Motown fill.How the scale is playedMajor pentatonic blended with the blues scale, phrased in 16th-note pockets with ghost notes between. The fill answers the vocal, never talks over it.Genre theoryThe 6/9 tonic and the maj7 are soul's home colors — the plain triad sounds unfinished here. Gospel passing chords (the #4 dim, the walkup) connect everything by half steps.
