Drop two voicings can be a very effective way to bring fullness and harmonic variety when you find yourself on a one chord for a number of bars. Watch the Barry Harris videos on the Major b6 Scale for a full explanation of the usefulness of adding the flat 6 degree to the major or minor scale.

I found this easier to play in keys without many accidentals but in unfamiliar keys it was more daunting.  I wrote them out as a reference but with the idea of memorizing them in all keys. Each scale degree has a unique voicing so once it’s been memorized it’s much easier to play in less familiar keys.
