That was great Kirk. I have my students do things like that all the time. By restricting yourself to only chord tones and only using one finger you can really learn alot. I even sometimes restrict them to to only one or two srings to make it even more challenging. Telling them they can only use the 4th finger really gets you some blank stares.

I hope this helps you understand the power of knowing your chords! If you know your chords well enough, you know all scales and modes also.

I would have to say this is a bit of a stretch however. Not trying to bring up the old debate about which is better, scales or chords. I would like to think we are in agreement about the power of chord tones.
