    To be honest 95% of guitar or amp reviews or even lessons I come across are
    pretty much unlistenable. Mindless noodling and too much distortion. So what a breath of fresh air to discover Jack's channel. It's as if he thinks about the notes
    and how they will melodically relate to the other notes before he plays them.
    Reminds me of Robben Ford. Glad I discovered this awesome channel.

    Great stuff Jack for all the musicians wanting to expand their vocabulary, besides your excellent approach I found out the whole tone and phrygian dominant ( 5 of harmonic minor) also function well as altered sounds on the one chord. The practical approach of you gives de possibility to use the same melodical material going a half step down, great stuff man, greetings Vic

    This is awesome. I've been working through this and trying to get a tone that's approaching yours Jack. I've realised that so much of this is in your fingers and I use my pinky a lot more than you which is leading to a less smooth sound. So I'm gonna try and involve the ring finger more. As a very happy patreon subscriber please post up the tabs when you get the chance, they really speed things up for me. Thanks a lot.

    Great video!
    I've been playing (not only) blues for 45 years. I've been trying to keep blues sounding like blues, not like jazz (although a jazz blues is also nice). Over a major blues (12 bars only using I7 IV7 V7) I've been playing the Lydian Dominant scale plus the minor 3rd on each chord (on C7 CDEbEF#GABb) and extending this with a b9 for that diminished sound.
    I would be interested what you suggest on "simple" minor variants:
    i7 iv7 v7
    i7 iv7 V7
    i7 IV7 v7
    i7 IV7 V7
    when the goal is to NOT sound jazzy.
    Regards from Vienna Austria, Martin

  • @lastofthe4horsemen279

    So basically the lydian dominate scale is the harmonic minor of the dominate 5th in the key .lydian Dom.scale in A would be the same as an E harmonic minor scale?

  • @elijahsomlock_music
    @elijahsomlock_music Před rokem

    Awesome video Jack!! Quick question if you don’t mind. What is the relation of the Ab-M7 to the G7 that makes it function as an altered sound? I do understand though the GmM9 over C7 for L. Dom because of of the way the fit into Melodic minor

    • @grahamsmith1978
      @grahamsmith1978 Před rokem +1

      If you understand that GmM9 arpeggio works over the C7, then in that same scale theory framework the GmM9 works over all the other chords and that would include the last note of G melodic minor which is F# (G A Bb C D E F#) and the F# mode is called the Altered scale (F# G A Bb C D E).
      Same notes as G melodic minor, just starting on the 7th degree.. Gets you F# Alt.
      So if you want to play G alt on the G 7 as Jack does, you have to understand what scale has G alt as its 7th degree just as F# is the 7th degree G melodic minor and that scale is Ab melodic minor (Ab Bb Cb Dd Eb F G).
      So in summary, if you want the alt sound on any Dom 7th chord just play the last mode of the melodic minor scale that contains it, first to hear it.
      Then you can play any mode, Jack on the G could run up and down G alt (the seventh mode of Ab melodic minor) but he chooses to play the first mode, the An melodic minor, and he uses the AbmM9 arpeggio to do it.

    @davidgalemusic9546 Před rokem

    I like it. (all of Jack's stuff is great). However, when I played the lick (4:27) over a few other CZcams backing track-shuffles it did not work. I wondered why. Oh...the other backing tracks had a strong g-natural on top of their C chord, clashing (in a bad way) with the F#. It seems this is better served in a trio w/o another chordal instrument or....one needs to be careful.

  • @kevinschmitt4050

    Question so your saying I can noodle over the dominate lydian scale over a 12 bar blues in E? And what kind if feel does this scale give the blues? Lydian is a dreamy sounding scale to me. So is that the feel I should be going for playing the dominant lydian scale over 12 bar blues in E?

    I love your lessons, however, I think even though you are a terrific blues players, you have a lot of jazz influence in your playing and lessons. I am kind of beginner (even though I am 70 years old), and could use more "simple" lessons. I am about to become a Patreon but I am afraid your lessons are too advanced for me.
