The Weeknd's Blinding Lights 5-3-2-1 Tetrachord

Take Coltrane's 1-2-3-5 pattern, reverse it, and add some syncopation, and you've got yourself a helluva hook. The chorus of The Weeknd's Blinding Lights is devilishly catchy, and this bouncy little lick plays a big part in that. You can find the full song on amazon here - Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

Chromatic Ascending/Descending Exercise

Based of the 5-3-2-1 pattern from The Weeknd's Blinding Lights hook, this exercise makes use of the 1-2-3-5 pattern based on the root of the chord. The pattern alternates between ascending and descending while the chord progression ascends chromatically. The result is a line that looks like a gradually increasing sine wave. To get the most out of this exercise, vary the underlying chord progression while maintaining the ascending-descending pattern. If you need to simplify this pattern, remove the syncopation in favor of swing or straight eighth notes. Like other patterns or scales, it's a good idea to practice this exercise through the full range of your instrument.

Several excercises based on the 1-2-3-5 pattern and many, many others are available in Patterns for Jazz by Jerry Coker, James Casale, Gary Campbell, Jerry Greene. It provides countless examples and excercises for reading chord changes and applying particular choices. Working through this book will help any musician, jazz or classical, improve their technique and understanding of harmony and melody. It is available for both treble-clef and bass-clef instruments.

The Weeknd makes a fun appearance in Uncut Gems, an interesting, sometimes uncomfortable movie featuring Adam Sandler as a dysfunctional, high-end jewelry dealer. Kevin Garnett also makes an appearance.
