I have this slonimsky book arranged for guitar by dave celentano. I have a hard time understanding it all by myself, I'm so grateful for this video because it's detailed . Thanks a lot sir Fredrik 🎉❤
Hi Fredrik, I have a question about Slonimsky's Master Chords. I don't really understand whats their function. Let me explain better. Let's take the exercise N1, we have C/F#/C Tritone with one note Interpolation, and we have F#7, C7, B7, F7 chords. Despite the fact that I don't get why we have B7 and F7, I was wondering, are these 4 chords the only chords where I can use ex.1 to improvise? (of course in the key of C). Hopefully I'm making some sense.
Hey Alessandro! The Slonimsky concepts are mainly based on symmetrical patterns and that's why you get these strange combinations of notes and chords. As for improvising go with your ear and judgement and if you like the sound of what you're playing, then go for it! :)
So, if I take 3 octave, I can divide it by 9, which is major 6, right? So if I play in A Dorian, playing 6 note, and then F# Dorian for 6 note, and then D# Dorian for 6 note, end in C, which is resolving the tension because I play in A Dorian. Am I get it right about the concept?
Pretty much. The major 6 becomes the next root note of the multi-tonic scale. After three different root tonics you end up on the original. This is also symmetrical, meaning that you could start on any of these three tonics over the chord you play over.
@@fredrikpihl yes I get it, C dorian in 6th note is back to A. Btw, is this the book is all about? Also, how to apply my example above, should I just running up and down that twisted scale from A in first octave to A in fourth octave?
@@Danumurti18 The book covers different intervallic combination to explain in short terms. As for how to play the scale there are no right or wrong way. Just using musical judgement. :)
I advise my students to NOT use the "for guitar" version of this work. You would miss the point of the book and more importantly - you lose the ability to create your own journey through this important work.
The guitar version book is great for non-readers of notation. I always try to teach that the most important part is to understand the general concepts and then apply them in your own playing. No point in learning all the examples, but rather using them as inspiration.

Hey guys! Thanks for checking out this lesson. If you have any questions or ideas for other lesson topics let me know in the comments!
Hi :)
Would you mind to make a video
about harmonic Major and his modes? :)
Functional harmony,modal progressions etc
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it for sure. The harmonic major is a beautiful scale.
@@fredrikpihl Great :) but do You know any songs in this scale or other six modes of harm Major?I can't find anything from long time.

@@fredrikpihl thanks for the answer. I think it will be just about changing root in symmetrical fashion, just like Giant Steps.
nice TQ axe :)
Works great withe Hawk Pick. ;)
I'm sad because I can't buy this book.
It’s available everywhere. I’m sure you can find it on Amazon for example. 🙂
Why in the world would you use a clean sound?

You did not show anything all you did was play minor scale.
According to the other comments, I think you’re wrong….
Watch the video again and you’ll see that I actually didn’t play the minor scale at all.
