      my favorite way is just to play a scale a half step up on the 7th chords and to resolve it by playing the next extension of the original scale.

    I Have always used on a minor seventh chord, the neighbour note a half step below and above's, harmonic minor scale. I will either start outside, with fast runs, and quickly either start going into the next chords scale sounds I wanna hear, or play, or, I will come right into the present scales harmonic minor scale, or any other scales or runs or lines I know will sound in. This has always worked for me. This was a good video. All your videos are really well thought out and concise. Thanks again.

    Jens, another amazing lesson. I think you could create an entire book on just this material - inside-outside sounds in jazz guitar. I was always fascinated about certain types of outside sounds and wondered how it was achieved - the 7th alt and diminished sounds seem to be the answer. Understanding these concepts seems similar to studying chess - I imagine a first goal is to get these types of concepts under the fingers through a lot of practice in at least one key.

    • @JensLarsen
      @JensLarsen  3 роки тому +3

      The most important skill to master for this is probably just being able to improvise clearly and melodically over chord changes. Then you can add other chords when you want to go outside.

    @SelfPropelledDestiny 2 роки тому +1

    If I had one suggestion to get across even more information it would be if the chord interval numbers were included below the staff, directly below the tab number. Because while the fretting information is definitely helpful, it really only matters when I'm playing the riff, but the interval information is pretty much universal and helps to watch the video without a guitar. If I quickly know the riff is b3-5-2-b2-1, then I can employ that in other positions and octaves. I can also sort of hear the relationships in my mind and know where the dissonance occurs. Of course, I understand that I can just do this myself for each example you show, and I just might, but I do wonder whether that information would help others too. As always though, thanks for your great content!

    • @JensLarsen

      @SelfPropelledDestiny 2 роки тому

      @@JensLarsen That is totally true. I should really just do the work on my sight reading I guess! But I did think for those who only read tabs, it could be helpful as well. Because with the sheet music there, technically the tab music itself is already rendered unnecessary, except for those who don't read music.

    Hi Jens, could you do a lesson on how to use Nicolas Slonimsky’s thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns?

      How you explore that material is pretty different from person to person, and 99% of the work is not coming out of the book so I doubt if it really makes sense as a video, or rather if I made it then you probably would not find it useful. Not sure if that makes sense?

      A video of that would be about 24hours long and extremely boring 😁. Just take what you like from the book.
