my favorite way is just to play a scale a half step up on the 7th chords and to resolve it by playing the next extension of the original scale.

I’ve been playing for awhile and I think I’m a pretty good “rock” guitarist that can dabble in diminished and altered chords and arpeggios. However, trying to get more into the Jazz side of things is a whole different concept altogether. You’re blowing my mind! Thank you!

I Have always used on a minor seventh chord, the neighbour note a half step below and above's, harmonic minor scale. I will either start outside, with fast runs, and quickly either start going into the next chords scale sounds I wanna hear, or play, or, I will come right into the present scales harmonic minor scale, or any other scales or runs or lines I know will sound in. This has always worked for me. This was a good video. All your videos are really well thought out and concise. Thanks again.

Great stuff, loads to work on here. Allowing your child to choose a few notes while you play works too, especially on the piano, and frequently results in playing a half step up and a half step down at the same time. This harmonic sophistication can then be transposed to the guitar

I'd love to see more fusion and model stuff, this is really excellent. I have both your books and have access to the jazz road map course, but I really like the leaning to more modern stuff too!

Jens, another amazing lesson. I think you could create an entire book on just this material - inside-outside sounds in jazz guitar. I was always fascinated about certain types of outside sounds and wondered how it was achieved - the 7th alt and diminished sounds seem to be the answer. Understanding these concepts seems similar to studying chess - I imagine a first goal is to get these types of concepts under the fingers through a lot of practice in at least one key.

@JensLarsen

The most important skill to master for this is probably just being able to improvise clearly and melodically over chord changes. Then you can add other chords when you want to go outside.

Great - that’s given me loads of ideas. Currently my ‘outside sections’ usually happen by accident!

This is beautiful!!! Thank you so much!

Phrase well, and everything works. Personally, I think minor pentatonics (not blues oriented) a half step up or down can create some really hip lines, especially if you create some 4th or 5th oriented melodies with them.

I think side slipping is probably the easiest for those trying to learn how to pull off outside sounds. But I think the melodic minor on the minor 6th you mentioned always sounds engaging. I’ve tried going from a Cm sound to a B Maj. sound and I’ve had some luck with that. It’s a kind of side slip but I’m not exactly moving the same shapes down a 1/2 step. I think it helps it sound a little less “cut and paste”. I have tried modulating the same scale or arpeggio up or down a 1/2 step but I have to be careful how I voice-lead in and out of it.

If I had one suggestion to get across even more information it would be if the chord interval numbers were included below the staff, directly below the tab number. Because while the fretting information is definitely helpful, it really only matters when I'm playing the riff, but the interval information is pretty much universal and helps to watch the video without a guitar. If I quickly know the riff is b3-5-2-b2-1, then I can employ that in other positions and octaves. I can also sort of hear the relationships in my mind and know where the dissonance occurs. Of course, I understand that I can just do this myself for each example you show, and I just might, but I do wonder whether that information would help others too. As always though, thanks for your great content!

Why not just use the sheet music? that gives you the same information since you have a tonal center. That is also how we train most musicians at school.

@@JensLarsen That is totally true. I should really just do the work on my sight reading I guess! But I did think for those who only read tabs, it could be helpful as well.
