Hey gang! Leave it to me to make a mistake (or two) somewhere, and the main one that I found/heard in this lesson was when I was talking about the D7#9 chord and said it had a "Dorian tonality." That one is actually more of a Phrygian thing, but for whatever reason, my mouth said "Dorian." I think everything else is good-to-go, but I didn't notice this typo until after I posted the video and it bothers me that I said that, so that's why I'm trying to clear the air right now. I HATE making typos and mistakes. Thank you, drive thru! 🙂👍
I went to Musicians' Institute in September '81; Scott was already there with the March '81 class. So I not only got to sit in classes and visiting artist clinics with him, I got to watch him play quite a bit. I wasn't shocked at how his career took off over the years.
Oz Noy is also crazy with substitutions. One thing I've always noticed about people that use subs a lot is they just "hear" the music differently than most of us do. I saw an interview with Larry Carlton where he talked about discovering substitutions through paying attention to all the similar notes within the chords and realizing he could use them for different things depending on the context. He said he would literally walk to school and think about that when he was just a kid. Some people just "get it". Guys like that are those that get it. Incredible minds.
I've been playing for 35 years and still learning something new all the time. This is great! Thank you brother! Love the way you lay it out and the practical examples.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the pentatonic substitution approach. I've been playing since I was 16 and still struggle with matching chords and scales.
Fantastic lesson. I've always used pentatonics over different chords/ with extra notes, but not really understood why it works, except that my ears liked it. Thanks heaps for making me understand why it works.🍻
There was a record put out in the early 90’s. Henderson, Jeff Berlin, Lavitz and Steve Smith. One side studio second side live. I seem to remember it being called “Players” Mind blowing particularly the live side. I wish I could find it.
what an interesting lesson, Amazing and trans formative. I want to know about this concept especially the pentatonics under the chords. Fascinating Thanks David!
Great lesson! Thanks for citing your sources :) I've been learning the way Gambale teaches it, starting with the chord type and superimposing pentatonics, but keeping the pentatonic static and moving the chords really highlights it! Ironically, it reminds me of how Gambale teaches modes, where you keep the tonic static and adjust the intervals per mode.
David , this lesson was just a tad bit above my “ Pay -grade “ here , but after watching this through to the end I’m ready to do a huge “ Belly flop “ into the pool and maybe give it a try . Diversity is where some pretty intense and interesting stuff comes from . 😎👍. Thanks as always for sharing.
'David , this lesson was just a tad bit above my “ Pay -grade “ ' It totally doesn't have to be. The applies to basic, open position major and minor chords as well.
Thanks man I appreciate this 🙏 big time. Another door is opened, I hear what you were saying about that d minor scale over the C major 7, I'm just going to use that f note as a passing note into either the E or G note, landing on it is a little snarky 😅, but it works, I guess it's all in the context of one uses it. Take care man
Thanks David. I have always thought what scales to play over chords being played, I really think thats a big part of what holds me back. I should flip my perspective 180 degrees and I bet it would help a bunch. Thanks man
Years ago I went through a couple of VHS tapes of Scott Henderson (Produced by Don Mock) and I learned about the moving pentatonic concept. But when I listened to Scott Henderson's solos, I could not hear how his playing came from this. My biggest take-away from the videos was to listen to myself, and play the next thing based on what I played before.
Great summary: if you want to go further out into jazz territory using minor pentatonic over 7alt chords is a good hack. Ie Bb min pentatonic over G7alt. Worth noting you’re missing the 3rd of G7
Have a listen to Well To The Bone. There's some astounding guitar playing and he covers a lot of ground. More rock than jazz, he channels Hendrix, Beck and SRV and many others, but always makes it all his own.
I’ve been getting into Jazz… but more as a means to give a more melodic feel to Blues, Rock and all forms of Music. Jazz is the King Genre of Resolves… and this gives Jazz its impact.
Kind of forcing model tonality here within a stagnate support structure. The way I hear it, as long as you don’t clash with 3rds or 7ths of the texture you can get away with about anything providing you accent underlying chord tones more than non. Good stuff! Thanks. edit: I looked to see if you had a good vid on dominant blues. Does one exist?
yes a new "late night lesson!" it's 3:13 AM in France Thank You for all your videos, if you have time to answer, please which set up do you use for your videos? i hope it's not a weerd question i mean like a secret recepe.
In the handout, what is the third tonality in the column on the left over the MAJOR 7 chord? [Something]5 Same question for the second tonality over the MINOR 7 chord... [Something]7
Anyone need a good laugh, check out “too many guitars” off Dog Party. Then while laughing at the lyrics, get ready to fall off your chair during the solos at the end 😂
I see it as in the context of where a Cm is in different scales.So with a Bflatm it would sit a whole step away and therefore in the Aflat Key as its iii chord.. Then the Fm chord would be the 6th of that A flatm Key. Or if you took the Cm pentatonic as the 6 of Eflat then the Fm would be the 2 instead.Knowing the 7 notes of the major keys gives you the options. Thank you ! My head hurts.
A lot of them are duplicates no? I mean the major 7 and minor 9 then the minor seven flat five and dominant 9th... probably more.. anyway nice subject. I kind of thought modes were kind of bs to make money at music schools but I have been playing with it and I think I may change my mind a little
Would be nice to see the fingering of some of these chords. This is presented like everyone already knows what you're talking about. A demonstration, not a lesson.

haha! mouths yea mine has a problem as well lol
I used to have the MI handout. Absolutely blew my mind like everything Scott does. Great lesson, well done!

You should have a million subs, Dave.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the pentatonic substitution approach. I've been playing since I was 16 and still struggle with matching chords and scales.
Great lesson, Dave! Scott is a master of substitutions! He was my intro to fusion guitar!
Fantastic lesson. I've always used pentatonics over different chords/ with extra notes, but not really understood why it works, except that my ears liked it.
Thanks heaps for making me understand why it works.🍻
Scott Henderson is EvH SrV and Coltrane all in one!! He is my favorite fusion guitarist of all time
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen in years. Thank you
I've come to realise over very many years of playing, and mostly improvising, that no notes are wrong notes. It simply depends on how you phrase them.
There was a record put out in the early 90’s. Henderson, Jeff Berlin, Lavitz and Steve Smith. One side studio second side live. I seem to remember it being called “Players” Mind blowing particularly the live side. I wish I could find it.
You can hear it on TH-cam, but it’s not available on the music streaming services
The Creeping Terror. One of my favorites to this day.
@@waynemiller6070 When I heard them play it live in the late 80s, that song had the title “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark”
Thank you once again, DAVID ! Very eyeopening - will have to dive into this.
what an interesting lesson, Amazing and trans formative. I want to know about this concept especially the pentatonics under the chords. Fascinating Thanks David!
Refreshing to come across a great channel with a great host. Thanks so much.😃
Very cool!! A very long-time friend is a former LA studio musician and he spoke of using pentatonic substitutions for tritone subs.
Holy crap - thats amazing, wow such a difference with the chord changes

This is a great explanation of all the play possibilities over 7ths
I love to see that you have Jean-Luc Ponty’s Fables up behind you on your wall 👍🏻
Eye opening material, thanks Dave .💯✨🖋️
Great lesson Dave. Thank you!!

Playing guitar you never stop learning.
Scott is the such a great fluid player. So elastic.
This was really eye opening!
Really cool lesson
Been a huge fan since Illicit…Scott is top shelf aka upper echelon! Great video…Thanks man
That was amazing. Thank you for your work.
Amazing video!
Thanks a lot Dave...excited lesson
What a lesson! You gained a new subscriber. Thank you!

"It's a music based in fear. Why are they playing so quietly? What are they afraid of? Why are they playing the wrong notes?"

Is that some kind of reference?

Thanks. Found on Spotify I will give it a listen
I just subscribed, thanks for this great lesson!
One of my favorite albums from Scott is Tore down the house from 1997.
Good contextualizing!
Super lesson!
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also Monday was my friends birthday ❤😊

David you rock!
Got the Tele for this one!
The first note he plays is after 5:00 fyi.. everything earlier is him talking about his history and Scott Henderson
yes a new "late night lesson!" it's 3:13 AM in France Thank You for all your videos, if you have time to answer, please which set up do you use for your videos? i hope it's not a weerd question i mean like a secret recepe.
Hey i love your room looks simple and nice!
Where did you get that Floyd shirt ? I only wear Floyd t-shirts and that one looks awesome and unique.
thanx a lot.....!!!!!!!!!!!!
lovely greetings from germany
Is it more than just pinwheeling and making the Cm a 6 then a 2 and a 3?
In the handout, what is the third tonality in the column on the left over the MAJOR 7 chord? [Something]5
Same question for the second tonality over the MINOR 7 chord... [Something]7
Scott is probably the greatest guitarist alive today.
I't's 4:30 AM and I'm watching this.
When you are ready, you're teacher will come along
Bill Nelson play ground:)
cool thanks

Pat Metheny did a lot of pentatonic substitutions.
Funny, what you do here is that you do the opposite to what everyone else does ; Chords over the scale. Good thinking ! 👍
I took one of those pictures ❤
Crazy seeing 111k! I remember 5k!
Do any chords NOT work?
what is clinic, can somebody explain? im not native speaker
New Tele?
Mind blown
Blown mind

99%talk talk
....you guys talk too much, Man...shutup and play your guitar, FFS!
Sorry, I like to explain things when I teach.
It's rather important to understand what you're learning and why.
@@quantumbuddhist yeah, me too....hahahahahahaha ! Too serious fellas'!
great lesson here! the photo of paper from 92 is blurry if i try to open it. would be great to have it more readable. tnx for share!
Is this a lesson or a speech?
