    This same scale is a popular raaga in Indian Classical. It has a proper name and there are many songs composed in this scale. Its called 'Shivranjini raag'

      It's also used in Japanese music and apparently called the Akebono I or Kumoi.

      ​@@JoshNpublicgplus Interesting reply, I noticed that the Akebono scale has a b7 as oppose to the major 6th shown in the video, they're enharmonic but it kinda has a different feeling to it, the kumoi on the other hand is pretty much exact (1 2 b3 5 6)

    I think this scale originated from the in-sen "scale" (it's a tuning of the koto) which originated in Japanese music. McCoy Tyner and Kenny Barron are also users of this scale.

    • @OmgEinWahnsinniger
      @OmgEinWahnsinniger 4 роки тому +4

      I always messed around with Japanese scale because they seem so mysterious and yet so lamenting and you are absolutely right. The in-sen works as a minor 6 9 and if you base it on the 9th its a sus4 7 b9 chord. There is also the iwato scale and another one that's pretty similar but I can't remember the name

    In a book that came back in print ( after Kurt Rosenwinkel cited working from it in an interview ) by Adelhard Roidinger called “ Jazz Improvisation & the Pentatonic” ( Advance Music ), this scale would be called
    “ Pentatonic b3 , mode 1 ( 1, 2, b3, 5, 6). There are six others that are not derived from the main one we know and think of when we hear the words “ the pentatonic scale “ and yet another 8 altered ones as well that are included.
    Thank you for this video . I was just working from this book and making little diagrams for guitar regarding this material. I have thoroughly enjoyed the regular content and am excited this guitar one has entered my feed ! Thank you

    • @estevankuhn6739
      @estevankuhn6739 4 роки тому +22

      yeah, but probably easier to think of it as 1 2 3 5 6 degrees of a melodic minor scale. This is just so that the superimpositions of the scale over different chords make more sense. For example, you can use the A coltrane pentatonic over a G# Altered chord the same way you would use A melodic minor over a G# Altered chord.

    • @owem6511
      @owem6511 4 роки тому +5

      Joseph Whettam but isn’t major with a flat 3rd just the formulation for melodic minor? Both methods of thinking of this scale are valid, but as most jazz players already have their melodic minor scale down, I think it would be much easier to conceptualize it as being the pentatonic version of the melodic minor scale, rather than thinking of it as this entirely new pentatonic.

    I'm going to be "that person" and mention that we should just call this pitch set what it is - a minor 6/9 arpeggio. Wes Montgomery made extensive use of this device well before Coltrane came up in the scene. It's particularly useful since it is a chord common to a variety of key centers!

    You can say, that is a part of dorian or melodic minor and you are right and is well for our understanding. But, if you play the 4th or the 7th, the sound of the "Coltrane Pentatonic" is lost. If you play the "normal" minor pentatonic, think you that comes from major?

    It's interesting how, on dom7 alt, it omits *a* tritone, but it's not *the* tritone of the dominant. I.e. the omitted tones (vis straight alt scale) are the root and the b5 notes of the dominant. Not your father's avoid notes 😉. It's a good John sound.
