ALTERED SCALE: Jazzify YOUR Guitar SOLOS - CRYSTAL CLEAR Tutorial
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- Create awesome fusion solos, outside blues licks, Jazz solos and eerie metal riffs with this altered dominant scale, a.k.a. the super Locrian scale and diminished whole tone scale. This scale is perfect for improvising over dominant chords and altered chords, but also to create riffs and licks with lots of tensions and dissonance. The altered dominant scale is the 7th mode of the melodic minor scale and is used often in Jazz and fusion rock by guitarists like Guthrie Govan, Frank Gambale, Plini, Shaun Lane, Scott Henderson and by the master of fusion guitar: Alan Holdsworth to name a few.
In this guitar tutorial about the altered scale you’ll learn everything about this beautiful scale in a crystal clear way with examples and tablature.

No guitar teacher in youtube teaches guitar theory as clear as possible like you do so thanks and Godbless sir.
Clearest explanation I’ve heard so far. Thank you for adding the dominant diminished relationship in there. I did not put that together hahaha
Damn, I've scoured the internet for explaining the altered scale in a pragmatic and useful way. This is fantastic. Thanks man!!
Rob, you provide the best tutorial on the web!
Great! Awesome video. Thank you!👍😍
Enjoyed the lesson, thank you! Very useful.
Great tutorial. Thanks!
This is so clear. Excellent, many thanks
Great content. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you
Great lesson as always. You have a special power to make music theory easier to understand.
Amazing Lesson!!! You're right! It makes a great sick Metal scale! Thanks!!!!
Brilliant!🎉 thanks a lot!
I'm convinced melodic minor modes are where it's at
Really cool... Thanks
I obsessed with your lesson, the way you review the music is awesome
Cant believe is content is free. this is the best altered scale explanation I have seen so far. thank you so much
Thx a lot ! First time i understand the context of this colour
Fantastis. Thanks so much.
Good video. Thank you.
Nice lesson. I've been learning to apply the Altered scale using your Em9 backing track with the Bb13 V chord for this past week. And I've been puzzled by the HW Diminished relation to it for longer than that. Thanks!
I wish you were my personal tutor. I have purchased a bunch of you e-books, but you should do more in depth courses. I would definitely buy them. Just a suggestion.
Thanks! And yes I will make more in depth courses...
Rob...awesome as always. I loved all the examples. More food for thought when composing to add a twist and nice color to enhance otherwise boring repetitive arrangements. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge!
Hi Jose! Thanks for your comment :) I'll post the tabs and backing tracks on the patreon page.
Thanks Rob. This is a great explanation of the Altered scale. Also the tip about learning a scale the fast way was insightful.
Thanks!
Very detailed and easy understanding! Great lesson! Thank you very much.
Thank you Ali

Puuh, like all your lessons, this one is stuffed with knowledge again. I really like this condenced approach. Now my brain have again a lot to process and the next few weeks i have stuff to work out :D
Keep making these fantastic content! You are by far one of the best teachers in the web.

Thank you Tom for this nice comment!
BROOOO this video was very good. I have been wondering how to get that outside sound into my blues and it’s that altered scale. QJam!
Well played, but that guitar also makes a great sound!
Dude!...Bro...I mean dude! That was like unlocking the secrets to the universe for me. Thanks!
:) Thanks!!
wow
Thanks Rob. Do you have a book about your lessons ? I would be great. Thanks for all your effort.
Hi Guenter. At this moment I do not have a book about my lessons...
very good lesson on the altered scale - you made a typo at 9.49 on the video example - Db7 not D7 - but good content thank you.
Hi, thank you for this. I think there is an error @6:24. The B note should be on the 14th fret. No?
Would you please post the backing track if you are still monitoring remarks. Thanks. Great video. I love Super Locrian, but you make it sound very cool!
At this moment it's available on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/qjamtracks
great video. thanks so much. I am curious if the diagram at @06:30 is wrong? There should be a natural 7th, not a flat 7th in the melodic minor: B is a half step away from C, not a whole step. Just want to make sure I understand all of this.
Hi Andrew. You're absolutely right. I made a mistake there...
@@QJamTracks once again, great videos!!
Английского не знаю, но вроде всё понятно. Спасибо огромное.
благодарю вас
Did your diagram of the melodic minor scale have a dominant 7th rather than a major 7th as you described? I am confused. Please elucidate.
It should be a major 7th. The melodic minor scale has the the structure of a major scale, but it has a minor 3rd: 1-2-b3-4-5-6-7
Excuse me for the inconvenience...
He sounds like hes kinda doing a Paul Davids impression. Great video
what guitar is that?
It's a Shecter Banshee GT
At 3:47, there's a G7b13 chord, but it shows the note leading to the 3rd of the Cmaj7 (E) as a Db. Shouldn't this be an Eb? Db is on the 2nd fret, and is a b5, not a b13 of G dominant chords.
That should have been a Eb instead of a Db. The Eb resolves to E. Thanks for pointing that out to me a.p.
I know I've had one beer too many when I venture out into the depths..........
I can handle water over my head and swim well, but I'm totally unsure about the deep end.
Beautiful! :)
You spelt Toms name wrong.
nicely done video. just skip the green screen, it looks horrible.
