Great lesson, so for the dim lick the last time you slide up to the A and the second time you slide up to the E, any general rules about that? Moving the diminished lick around changing the resolutions to the F (the I chord)

@SteveAllsworth

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Brian! Are you referring to the inversions Dim lick? Generally you want to try and resolve to the closest chord tone of the I chord - typical resolutions would be b9 (of V7b9) down semitone to 5th of I, b7 down semitone to 3rd of I, 3rd up semitone to root of I, 5th could go to 3rd or root of I etc. Hope that makes sense!

Mode 5 of the F harmonic major scale works also on the c7b9 chord but it’s not particularly altered ... no alt 5s ... mode 3 of Ab harmonic major scale also works and is more altered - c db eb e g ab bb ... other choices perhaps other than diminished or harmonic minor Phrygian dominant or melodic minor but I understand ur point that the symmetry of diminished makes it an accessible replicable choice

Yeah it's got that diminished vibe and works nicely on dominant chords, so could imply a D7alt to Gm - same issue with the major 3rd (b4) potentially clashing against the b3 in Dm7, so a D7 or D7alt would arguably sound stronger (as with my Bossa example) Nice! 👍🏻

Well done lesson, but this is not scos secret, it is just a standard way to play over 2 5 1, any jazzplayer since Charlie Parker (he used this scales too !) knows this and plays like this. Sco is doing much more real outside stuff with outside pentatonics and superimposition.

Yeah that method can absolutely work, but I think at some point there has to be some knowledge of the scale/theory to see WHY it works - although that can come later of course! I see a lot of guitarists struggle to play 'out' because there's no foundational knowledge and playing loads of out notes can sound really random and very hit and miss as a result.
