Killer! If you’d like to do a video on using the diminished scale over a dominant chord resolving to the one I’d enjoy that as well. Whole half or half whole, up to you!
Super concise and great clarity. Great tempo for teaching too. One nit pick is: if you are calling fret#s and then say the string name, D for ex., a moment of confusion since no D note in the scale. If you say 4th string, may be easier. What do you think? Outstanding lesson, though!! Ü ♫
Thanks man! 🙏 I usually call the intervals - but thought would do the fret numbers for this lesson just incase there was confusion for guys who dont know the intervals so well. Good tip though, so will think about this next time I teach! Thanks for the kind comments and feedback!
Thanks. I just meant, 6th, instead of E- 5th instead of A etc. Handy for alt. tuning and capo use to think of the strings by number- which never changes, whereas, string note names can change. But your flow is great, whatever works for you, keep on. Thanks for indulging me. Cheers!! @@jamesdaviesguitar
I miss you commenting upon an important attribute of the melodic minor scale; at least when I learnt it, and read about it, the major 6th and major 7th should only be used when playing the scale ascending, while the common natural minor 6th and 7th should be used when playing descending scale..
Great stuff. I assume when improvising you're in the same camp as Jack Gardner and Tom Quayle and thinking intervallicly over the altered 5 chord rather than shape based melodic minor up a half step?
Yeah, I’m 100% thinking intervallicly! Like i mention in the lesson, it’s super important to know the interval you’re playing against the chord. It’s handy to know it’s a melodic minor scale shape a semi-tone up from the chord (especially when you first start) but I’m looking at it from the Galt or whatever chord I’m playing over. Some people just getting into it may find it easier to digest it as ‘melodic minor starting on Ab’ but over time it’s important to not think like that but just think more about the chord behind and what its relationship is against that. Hope that makes sense :)

Thank you, means a lot! 🙏

I was planning this type of lesson soon! Thanks for the reminder. Cheers for checking out the video 🙌
This lesson is so amazing, I learned a new scale. Thank you!
@@jeremiahraza8109 I’m glad! Nice work!
Awesome as always
Thank you! 🙏
Nice lesson
Thank you 🙏
Love your teaching man. This was super helpful. I would love if you could make a video about your awesome licks.
Thank you man! Glad you liked it! Good suggestion, i will do this soon! :)

in Classical music, it is taught like this (for the resolution side of it) in Jazz, its not taught like that.
Yeah definitely in Jazz you don’t need to do the whole ascending up the melodic minor and descend the natural minor. James is right on this occasion
