14:26 Final Thoughts
In this guitar lesson I'll be breaking down my absolute favourite Robben Ford outside device - aka the Lydian Dominant scale - and showing you how to use it within a minor blues. I think this is a really beautiful, slightly mysterious sound, and it's arguably the most accessible of our 'outside' scales. I'll be taking you through the main steps from the theory, outlining dominant 7 chords, adding the #4 colour, using triad pairs and then repurposing melodic minor/altered ideas.

There’s a great track that Robben guests on that’s under the radar. It’s by a band called Quiet city and the song is called I Know your name, he has that 90s blue line tone on it even though the song is from 2021 I believe. Check it out, his playing is sublime 😎

Nice! Never heard that one - some amazing playing on there 🔥
I saw Robben Ford on the Supernatural tour in 1999, long before smartphones. My brother recorded the show with a mini disc recorder. “Nothing to Nobody” is one of my favorite tracks… you can hear my shouts of approval on the bootleg. Thanks for bringing me back!

Bro, you gained a new subscriber. managed to really convey the Robben Ford vibe, without sounding like a copy. Robben is on my top list. There are some videos on my channel where I try to improvise, and Robben was the guy who showed me that it's possible to improvise without being exclusively dependent on licks.

Incredible ideas here - I’m getting Scofield vibes as well. Can’t wait to try this all out. Thinking of a Gmaj arpeggio is great way to avoid that natural 4 over F.

Truly magic, both from Robben and from Steve. Steve, when you first were playing through the changes, that first chorus (which I realize now you intentionally played straight ahead) had me thinking - nothing special here, THEN the second chorus and my jaw dropped - SO many juicy outside beautiful tones spilling out. I had the pleasure of meeting Robben on Zoom during the pandemic and he even critiqued my playing (along with critique from Allen Hinds and Jon Herington (Steely Dan)). I have a clip of that on my channel. It made my musical life to see Robben reacting to my playing. Your content is amazing Steve - thank you for more content about Robben's technique - explained so thoroughly and easy to understand.

Have you ever released any books Steve? I’d love to purchase a book with in depth explanation of this style of playing. You make it less scary and easier to grasp. Too many online “educators” show a blistering lick in a key and don’t explain the context of the chord tones like you do.

Makes me think of The Fez by Steely Dan.
Well… I’ll come back on the second chance week 😂 I was lost in the very beginning. Anyway, you sound great, and Robben too 😉 Thanks

Or you could forget about all the theory and just lower the E in the A minor pentatonic to Eb and play that scale over the F7. ;-)
