- This video was taken at the a Yosemite Jazz Workshop. It's a session with the advanced group and discusses improv ideas for soloing over the tune's chord progression. Altered sounds and whole tone scales are among some of the ideas. More Improv Insights on other tunes available at guitarcollegel....
"Anything you can do harmonically, you can do melodically." Absolute genious!!! What a great way to put it in words.
Geeze, this video sucessfully hypnotized me 3 times.
Man, what a great lesson. I think the "don't play C" stuff can be misleading for beginners watching this video, I think it's necessary to be able to go full chord tones and make that sound good before trying to substitute everything. But this was the advanced group obviously.
Wow, the first minute or so was very enlightening. Don't play Cmaj7 over Cmaj7. Mind blown! I guess I have been boring for a while now, I have never thought to imply dominance over a tonic chord. I have been doing altered sounds over 2 5 1s for a while, but over a static tonic chord, brilliant Rich! Ps. The Joe Pass story was amazing, I can hear his voice now. Thanks, Brian Kaminskas
Good to hear from you again
Good job, keeping your sanity Rich, with all the noodling in the background.
Thank you so much Rich for a great lesson - would love to see more of these improvisation masterclasses!
Thanks Peter. I do have several song specific improv insights lessons
Wow, I learned lots of very cool stuff from just this one lesson. Thanks so much, Rich!
Cool very cool, this is great information without he jazz cat attitude. Thank You.
Rich is a jazz cat, but he's a cool jazz cat. He's keepin' in step and hep to the jive.
Thank you for sharing sir
As a beginner who wandered into this lesson I feel like the out of place John Travolta meme, from pulp fiction, right now.
Great lesson. Still trying to wrap my head around how Ab melodic minor works over C major. My brain hurts
The Ab melodic minor works because it's the altered scale over G. You're imagining the V chord, i.e. G7, to spice it up a little when there's two bars of C.
Thank you for sharing hope you are well God loves you deeply shalom 🤗🐼♥️✝️💐 Philippians 4:8
Below is another cool lick I came up with to play over D 7 - 5 in soloing. Notice the descending augmented arpeggio and flat fifth intervals shifted up every 2 frets at the end, derived from whole tone:
--13-14--------------------------------------------------------------
----------15-14-12-13-----------------------------------------------
--------------------------13-----------------13-------15------17----
------------------------------14--------12-------14-------16--------
-----------------------------------15----------------------------------

Some great ideas in this video, thanks Rich, but I need more ideas of "outside" lines you can play in C and the 7 flat 5 chord!!
He gave you years worth of options
So over the C chord you can play C harmonic minor or C melodic minor and then resolve back to C major? Earlier you said Ab melodic minor which is G altered. Would all these ideas work?
Yes but let your ear guide you
Rich Severson Thanks, one more thing. On the D7b5 you say play A melodic minor or D whole tone correct? How are these scales derived? So on a non-functioning dominant chord i can use these strategies?
YES
Rich Severson I get it now and I'm really cookin'! It's Lydian dominant. Thanks, you're awesome!
In the bridge there are four bars of fmaj7. What can I do to make it sound interesting? I know that you would say it's boring to just play f lydian.
im a horn player but everything is applicable! great teaching
That's great! Thanks for checking out my channel and commenting! I really appreciate it... especially from someone who's main instrument is not a guitar!
interessant
Wow, great Joe Pass story. 8:14
Still have that L-4 Rich?
yes
racket is insufferable
