FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS - Welcome to DIGGING DEEPER. In video #119, we get to maybe the most important sound there is for improvisors of all ability levels . . . the Minor Pentatonic Scale. Coltrane and Herbie Hancock used it, Led Zeppelin and Duke Ellington found some pretty good successes with it, and yes, you can too! Let's find out what's going on here, and get you sounding BETTER TODAY.

I don't know if you remember a conversation about Pentatonics and I said I first heard of it from an interview with Larry Baione? It wasn't it was Rick Peckham, GuitarPlayer August 1997 edition.
Wow, I don't recall. All I know is that pentatonics were invented before 1997. I'm going to stand by that bit of wisdom!! 😂
@@JeffAntoniukEducator lmao. It was about the Minor 6th Pentatonic
Thank you for this. It's always good to be reminded of the power of simplicity.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Jeff Can you tell us what book you got using to relate to your viewers pls? Or have you got a book which you have put together? I find the usa sax players are so natural and very positive with their playing compare to in the UK
I wish there was a book to recommend, but I think that books are the exact WRONG way to go about teaching and learning a lot of the time. As you point out very nicely, it's about RELATING to the student, being able to put yourself in their shoes, remember what it was like when you yourself couldn't do something hard.
I hope that we can work TOGETHER, so you can really see what I'm talking about. Send me an email to DiggingDeeperJazz @ gmail.com, and I can get you a Free One Week Trial to JazzWire.net. I'd love for you to experience it!
13:20 “If you tried doing this with a major scale or a minor scale it wouldn’t sound remotely as good”
Um.. J.S. Bach would like a word! 😄
True enough!! It DOES sound good. I think to more modern "jazz ears" it will sound "more interesting," or "less facile" perhaps. But you are 100% correct . . . , when in doubt, just do what Bach did!!
Love your tune "Flow" Jeff. It's smokin'. Dig the lesson too :)
Thanks! Glad you like the song. Fun tune, and great band!
I love your videos , can you show how play in double time
Double time! Fantastic idea ! Let's see what jeff has to say
Well alright! I was wondering what the next couple videos were going to be. Double Time!! It's coming soon!
@@JeffAntoniukEducator thank you so much I would really appreciate that , am from the Bahamas
@@torvarrisevans6462 I hope you are doing OK after the big storm. So sorry!
@@JeffAntoniukEducator thanks are ok ,
Love the new album and the video as always. Tremendous insight as always!
Thanks so much John Mark. So glad you enjoyed it!
Another great informative video Jeff, thanks. Keep up the great work and I will try to get something going here in the near future. Cheers
Excellent Robin! I'm excited to come up to Ontario and do some playing and teaching. Hope to see you soon.
Great stuff mate...you always get me motivated..cheers shawn qld Australia
Glad to hear it Shawn! Thanks for taking the time to write.
The first thing I noticed about how you played with the pentatonic melody concept was your use of rhythm. Haven't messed much with the pentatonic but I'm very familiar with the blues scale.. if I'm allowed to call it that. They both sound strange played as a scale.. I've always thought so. But as a melodic device it's great. Lookin forward to working on Cantaloupe Isle with you at Jazzwire.
You bet Dave. We are going to have a great time with Cantaloupe Island at www.JazzWire.net. It's a fun tune, with lots of little nooks and crannies to investigate.
@@JeffAntoniukEducator I've had it in my notebook of chart for years. And I play it from time to time with folks. I'm looking forward to learning some new things to do with it. Cheer Jeff
I'd love to participate in the workshop Jeff. I hope I don't have to teach a class that day ;)
Excellent Ian. Just drop us a line at DiggingDeeperJazz @ Gmail.com so that we can make a note of it.
'In a sentimental mood', surely the opening phrase is major pentatonic a/o to minor?
Not exactly. The song is a minor song, so we would analyze it as such. The opening line could be looked at as F major, or D minor. The song is in D minor, so it doesn't make sense to call it F major, right?
So jeff your playing a d minor on tenor?
What is the context? I just want to be sure I understand your question. Lay it out for me.
@@JeffAntoniukEducator ..i was playing along with you in a c minor(the pdf sheet) but i was ouf of tune with you...then i played a d minor and i was in tune
Sorry i probably sound stupid. Hahaha hahaha..brain injury..i get confused sometimes
P.s..i just love your videos and they way you explain things..youve help me get my playing back..hoping to join jazz wire one of these days when i have some spare cash..cheers jeff..simon
@@simonpeaky6340 I think you got it just right. I believe that I said a key, and then transposed, which threw things off. GOOD CATCH, and sorry about that. And NO apologies necessary!!
NU...forstår jeg endelig hvad man skal brug de skalaer til...!
Fremragende! Jeg er så glad for, at videoen hjalp.
