    In today's video, I'm going to help you get into the style of jazz-rock-fusion.
    You don't need to learn new scales to get into this music, the ones you already know are fine. The thing that is going to give sense to your fusion improvisations is rhythm.
    In this case, we are going to use a Dorian backing track. Just use the minor pentatonic and add the major second and the major sixth.
    Don't play all the time, take pauses so you can recharge your brain. Use subdivisions (in this style sixteenth notes work great) and create rhythmic phrases as the base for your soloing.
    Then, introduce some outside playing. One trick is to fill your pentatonics with chromatic notes. Another approach is what I call diagonal shapes, patterns of notes that you can move around the fretboard wherever you want.
    Finally, when you hit a rut, slow things down.

    David, thanks for this. A very succinct and clear explanation on how to approach fusion improvisation. You clearly have a strong foundation in this. Please make some more videos on fusion and improvisation. CZcams is very light on these guitar subjects. For other CZcamsrs looking for good videos on improv and phrasing check out Barney Kessels series which is floating around.

I know my modes I know scales I know chords, I even know melodic minor I know that you can play super locrian on V degree and so on and so on, but never figured out how to sound fusion. Thanks to your video (still not. Fully comfortable as I would like, but it's the whole point of guitarist to be never satisfied 😂) I was able to do my first real fusion improvisation!!
