    Hey gang!
    Leave it to me to make a mistake (or two) somewhere, and the main one that I found/heard in this lesson was when I was talking about the D7#9 chord and said it had a "Dorian tonality."
    That one is actually more of a Phrygian thing, but for whatever reason, my mouth said "Dorian."
    I think everything else is good-to-go, but I didn't notice this typo until after I posted the video and it bothers me that I said that, so that's why I'm trying to clear the air right now.
    I HATE making typos and mistakes.
    Thank you, drive thru!
    🙂👍

    Oz Noy is also crazy with substitutions. One thing I've always noticed about people that use subs a lot is they just "hear" the music differently than most of us do. I saw an interview with Larry Carlton where he talked about discovering substitutions through paying attention to all the similar notes within the chords and realizing he could use them for different things depending on the context. He said he would literally walk to school and think about that when he was just a kid. Some people just "get it". Guys like that are those that get it. Incredible minds.

    I went to Musicians' Institute in September '81; Scott was already there with the March '81 class. So I not only got to sit in classes and visiting artist clinics with him, I got to watch him play quite a bit. I wasn't shocked at how his career took off over the years.

    • @xcx8646

      The notes of Bm pentatonic: B, D,, E,F# and A
      The notes of Gmaj7: G, B, D, F#. A is a 9th and E is a 13th.
      Guitarists spend too much time on patterns, and often don't know what they are actually playing. (I can be guilty of this as we'll).

Another door is opened, I hear what you were saying about that d minor scale over the C major 7, I'm just going to use that f note as a passing note into either the E or G note, landing on it is a little snarky 😅, but it works, I guess it's all in the context of one uses it. Take care man

    Great summary: if you want to go further out into jazz territory using minor pentatonic over 7alt chords is a good hack. Ie Bb min pentatonic over G7alt. Worth noting you’re missing the 3rd of G7

    Great lesson! Thanks for citing your sources :) I've been learning the way Gambale teaches it, starting with the chord type and superimposing pentatonics, but keeping the pentatonic static and moving the chords really highlights it! Ironically, it reminds me of how Gambale teaches modes, where you keep the tonic static and adjust the intervals per mode.

  • @Bubba-zu6yr
    @Bubba-zu6yr Місяць тому +2

    Kind of forcing model tonality here within a stagnate support structure. The way I hear it, as long as you don’t clash with 3rds or 7ths of the texture you can get away with about anything providing you accent underlying chord tones more than non. Good stuff! Thanks. edit: I looked to see if you had a good vid on dominant blues. Does one exist?

    Years ago I went through a couple of VHS tapes of Scott Henderson (Produced by Don Mock) and I learned about the moving pentatonic concept. But when I listened to Scott Henderson's solos, I could not hear how his playing came from this. My biggest take-away from the videos was to listen to myself, and play the next thing based on what I played before.
