I have never heard music with such amazing colour as what I just heard. I can't describe the beauty of harmonies, it almost made my hair stand on end. I going to listen to a whole bunch of JC tonight. Thanks so much for opening my eyes to this.
Watch a couple videos of barry harris' 6th diminished scale and this will start to connect some dots. These scale tones come from the minor 6th diminished scale
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'
@@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)
@@markymarco2570 No., it's called Shivranjani. It's been used for ages in Indian music, incl Bollywood music. Here's an example: ua-cam.com/video/Q9ULWBTokzw/v-deo.html
So glad I stumbled on this. Simply incredible! My theory is not at this level as I can’t understand the dynamics of this. But thank you. I can at least play it.
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.
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
Works really well on inner urge for the fmaj7#11 you can use the d Coltrane scale ie the relative minor hadn’t thought of using it on so what thanks for the tip
I learned it as the in-sen scale, Either way phenomenal transcription and etudes. What a great way to practice and digest it to get that sound in your pocket
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.
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.
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
To conclude today's presentation we will try superimposing the Coltrane Pentatonic over the stunning solo chords of Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water... Kidding. Excellent video!
Brilliant video! Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks to Corona, I have no gig tonight and will grab my guitar right now to get off into the beautiful sound of this scale thanks to your lesson.
new sub. Thanks for sharing this. 🙏👍🏼 I am a self taught musician, and this stuff is so great. I love being able to learn things *as I need them*, and at my own pace and way. Videos like this are priceless to me. 🐰🎸🎶❤️✌️
Such a simple yet valuable idea. Great guitarist. Great horn .the narrator I'm not used to though I'm learning to like..,........... You have heard the doorbells of tomorrow
Ok! I am confused from the get go. At 0:53, the notes displayed on top don't make sense to me, if I am reading the pentagram correctly. Shouldn't they be A-B-C-E-F#?
The perfect example of this may be had by listening to Stevie Wonder's Contusion on "Song of the Key Life" as played by the Great Mike Sembellos ("She's a maniac") particularly at the bridge ( D7#9 -Abma9; then D7#9 -GbMa-AbMa9)
Thanks Nick for this fantastic share that improved a lot my guitare playing;) Just bought the digital courses related to this Trane pintatonics witch are awesome ! May i suggest to include the PDF line in the guitar video to improve reading and playing at the same time? ( i know it is a lot of work but will definitely improve your courses) Bests 🎼🎷🎸
For my way of thinking it's better to see the C- Coltrane Pent as a Amin7b5-Arp + the 4th degree... great stuff as always Nick...many thanx for sharing your passion and huge knowledge..keep well and fit
Thanks Nick, I bought the digital package and am looking forward to working on these over the next month or so. Also, in the medium term, I would love to show some top Cuban muso friends the same so as to see what rhythmic spins they can introduce!
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.
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?
Hello is it possible to purchase just this lesson with guitar tabs...tried downloading the preview link but that did not work...whatever...interested in purchasing this...thanks!
Help. Why is it "The John Coltrane" pentatonic, instead of just plain "pentatonic"? At 0:03 there's the C major pentatonic scale against the key signature of Bb. So is "The John Coltrane" pentatonic scale any pentatonic scale that's a major second above the key signature?
It's just something he happened to use. It can be derived from dorian. He uses it over any harmony in a position where it includes at least some notes of the harmony but also adds interest(other notes).

Nate Springer Hello Nate, a b7 and a maj6 aren’t enharmonic, they’re a semitone apart.

YEAH SOUNDS LIKE A HIGH PITCH "HARP" SOUND
@@onetwo6675 YEAH BROTHER IT DOES
It's true. For some reason there is a lot of Japanese pentatonic scales ? Maybe it's like musical equivalent of haiku ?
@Ryan Lockett Ryan of course the white guy American is going to make an ambiguously racist comment ?🤪👍
Thanks for this video, the chords A-7b9+5 - D-6 reminds me the song for Shinra Building in Final Fantasy VII
Works really well on inner urge for the fmaj7#11 you can use the d Coltrane scale ie the relative minor hadn’t thought of using it on so what thanks for the tip
I've been working this into my guitar playing, but I'm very limited with it. This video will be perfect!!!! Thanks!!!! So magical sounding!
excellent thank you!
It's like it touches on the root of any chord. If it's not in the root it works as a passing note.
One thing that's for sure, is that it's your video! I wouldn't steal it!
"John Coltrane knows best" 💯🎵
I learned it as the in-sen scale, Either way phenomenal transcription and etudes. What a great way to practice and digest it to get that sound in your pocket
It might also be seen as the 1 2 3 5 6 degrees of a dorian scale right? Omitting the 4 and 7.

Yes it is that, I think of it as a major pentatonic with a b3.
It's a major pentatonic with a b3

IT'S A B3-

That 2nd adds some magic to the min6th chord indeed

Thank you to think of guitar player!!
I think of this as a pentatonic derived from melodic minor or in guitar terms a major blues scale without the the major 3 rd
....or Minor Pentatonic with the 5th flatted.
voronOsphere I know what you mean but in that sense I’d think of it as a minor blues without 5th ,
Wow! Nice!
Que massa esse vídeo, aplicações da pentatonica sobre acordes ... mais por favor!

great sounding axe!

Omg, it sounds so Musical! Tks guys! I ll try to use these (intervals - some in d beginning sounded intervals ) , d guitar sound is great too
I worship this video.

Even though it's not the correct term, I sometimes think of this as a minor Pentatonic form of the major. For me that works out.
Whose video is this?
Amazing video lesson! Thanks a lot!
Thank' s so Much John. .. ☺😊😀/👍👌👏
are the examples played on this clip written on anywhere?

if you want to be that person, this scale is used a lot in Indian traditional music from ages ago.
Amazingly it sounds like minor 6th scale , or a Dorian sharp mode..
Where is PDF...nice video

Superbe mais comme a son habitude le jazz se la joue ...y a t il moyen d avoir ces infos en tablatures
Is this the same as Kumoi?

check out garcia's solos in "help on the way" by the grateful dead
Way cool!!! Thanks
@Jazz duets The link to the off expired
Good stuff
Cool.
What a beautyfull music !
but was Coltrane using this group of notes over those chords?
Basically everywhere you could use melodic minor you can use this instead
Dorian Mode, too.
Good tip. Thanks
Just read your comment after wrote mine
Wow
No, the Maj 7th wouldn't work over some of those chords.
❤💯🔥🔥🔥Coltrane Pentatonic 🎼🎶🎷🎵🤘
Saludos mr. Nick!.
Estupendo!!!!
Genial. Gracias
Thank you very much!!!!

What kind of effect or mood does this scale induce? What do you take from it?
Coudnt download, its asking me another link :(

It's just something he happened to use. It can be derived from dorian. He uses it over any harmony in a position where it includes at least some notes of the harmony but also adds interest(other notes).
Because it isn't the minor or major pentatonic scale.
Awesomeness.
The first 4 chords were the chords from stairway to heaven
It's called a line cliche, it's in tons of stuff
Super 👍👍👍
Thanks amazing
kind regards from Berlin 😷
thanks !
