Hack: Pentatonic Scale for Altered Chords - Modern Melodic Minor Secrets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcWCwmjHwLI&list=PLWYuNvZPqqcETPNs-rb_np8MqLCwSIxBi&index=15

The Pentatonic scale is one of the first things we learn. And since it is something we are very familiar with and we can use this to change it a bit and use it for other chord sounds like Altered Dominants or other melodic minor sounds. In this lesson I am going to show you a simple way to make a great pentatonic scale for altered chords and demonstrate how to learn and how to use it.

Altered Scale Arpeggios 🎸 that you forgot to learn!

If you want to play great altered dominant lines then you have to also look beyond the diatonic arpeggios. In this video I will go over three examples of non-diatonic arpeggios that are great for altered scale lines on dominant chords.

Hour 35 - 38

Oz Noy is one of my favourite guitar players.  I've been listening to his latest record, Twisted Blues Vol. 1, a ton lately.  It's awesome!  Great guitar tone, fantastic musicians, genre-bending, quirky compositions and Oz's unique improvisational style makes for a really cool record. 

He recently released a couple of instructional videos, too, through JazzHeaven.com and launched a contest in support of the release.  Up for grabs is a private lesson with Oz!  To enter, guitarists record themselves trading choruses with him over a blues in G7, using specific scales that he outlines from pentatonics to altered modes.  I spent hour 35 - 38 working through some whole tone, diminished and altered ideas before recording the video above.  The video with the most "likes" on YouTube by midnight tonight wins!

Hour 31

Anytime I begin incorporating a new musical concept into my playing (like all of the altered scale stuff I've been shedding), I start with a blues.  "Groove Elation" by John Scofield is one of my faves.  It's in Eb.  To spice things up a bit, I thought about playing Eb alt to the four chord, Bb alt to one, and sometimes, F alt to the five, in addition to my regular blues lines.  This video was recorded at the legendary New Morning in Paris, France.  The band sounds stellar!

Hour 26 - 30

I love the way the altered scale (R-b9-#9-3-b5-#5-b7) sounds, although it's always been a challenge for me to incorporate it into my playing in a seamless and interesting way.  I followed Krantz's orders (see the Improviser's OS below), shedding the scale along the fingerboard through what he describes as the "twelve zones".  With the metronome set to 80 bpm, I practised playing the scale in quarters, eighths, triplets and sixteenths to get it under my fingers, before freestyling for a while.  Then I worked through all 12 keys.  The freestyling part of this exercise through all of the zones could easily be a lifelong study promoting creativity and personal expression.
