  • Here I take a look at an awesome John Scofield line from Miles Davis's album "Decoy". This line showed me just how much of an influence Scofield was on a lot of the fusion guys that came after him.

    The hardest thing about these kinds of modulations is playing them in a way that doesn’t sound disjunct. Getting the phrases nice and smooth so the contrasting tonalities sound inviting is what I’m still trying to work out…
    Good lesson.

      Yeah, that’s the eternal struggle: to have such a strong command of a concept that it can just flow out musically.

      Thanks for checking out my video! I have three newer Sco videos that have come out in the last month or two, and will definitely be making more!

    I was copping a Joe Pass lick from another UA-camr and Joe was using melodic minor off the tritone in a ii V I. So in G, A Dorian over the ii, C# melodic minor over the V then resolve normally to the I, in this case G. Same idea in a different context. Sounds wild! Great lesson, Mike. Your videos and playing are great. Thanks.

      That's a really cool concept! I'm going to start messing with that.

    That sounds so cool! I love outside sounds. Do you know any other substitutions for the melodic minor?

    • @TheTwangKings
      @TheTwangKings 4 місяці тому

    Nice lick, I'm always looking for those good "jumping off points" to make outside playing sound hip rather than just... outside lol. Nice tone btw

    • @mbacarellaguitar

      Thanks man. Scofield is the king of "jumping off points"

    There's definitely a whole note scale in there together with the minor.

    • @mbacarellaguitar
      @mbacarellaguitar  4 місяці тому

      The melodic minor scale has four consecutive whole steps after the 3rd, which is why you are noticing it so much!

    • @TheTwangKings
      @TheTwangKings 4 місяці тому

      Yes! And it's a great way to get to use the whole note scale without sounding "airy-fairy" 😊😊😊

    Hey Mike what John Scofield album or song did you get that lick from. You sound great

    • @mbacarellaguitar
      @mbacarellaguitar  Рік тому +1

      Hey! It comes from Miles Davis’s record Decoy. I believe it’s from the title track!

  • @Harmonic251

    Maybe he thinks Ab7 to Am That´s pretty common

    • @mbacarellaguitar
      @mbacarellaguitar  3 роки тому

      I honestly never considered that, but now that you say it it is super obvious! Eb Melodic Minor works equally well over that chord!

    • @davidsheriff9274
      @davidsheriff9274 2 роки тому

      How is Ab7 to Am common? Bb7 to Am is common because the Bb7 is the tritone sub of the five chord, but how does Ab7 to Am make sense?

      Sorry about that! Over the last two years I’ve made some progress with audio quality in my lessons. This was one of my first, so I was still learning quite a bit.
