Here's why I made this lesson - most lessons on how to "break out of pentatonic boxes" are just really "here's how to connect one pentatonic box to another pentatonic box" which of course keeps a blues player in the same ballpark melodically - meaning you don't "break out" of anything. Penatonics and blues have a certain melodic behavior which feels impossible to escape. Here's a new sound that will get you out of that "behavior."
This lesson is different. It is designed in a NON theory, NON mode way to simply get you in touch with playing a new "sound." Once you get in touch with this sound, other jazz sounds will be easier to play.
After this lesson you will have truly "broken out of pentatonics" and be on your way to using a more LUSH harmonic vocabulary!

i guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Milo Reginald try flixzone. You can find it on google :)
Thanks Adam, it was like you knew what level I was at and what I needed to progress. Very helpful.
Tony - thank you so much 😊
I like the way you explain it that we learn from: Visual, Auditory, Kinestetic and Intelectual. Yes I feel it like that. Somebody can explain me anything, but when there is nothing to visualize, it will be very hard for me to comprehend. I need to make my own sketch to understand. Thank you very much Adam. Cheers from Indonesia.
Wow!!! THanks for you using my backing track!!!
Thanks for the sick tracks and I hope this gets the word out for you! Let’s talk...

Another great lesson. Reminds of a Spanish melody I recently learned on the progression 'Am G F E7' but with a different rhythmic emphasis. Good to learn several ways to use it.

Had me mesmerized, till 08:16, that picture of Doris Johnson with a guitar, playing above the capo - had to google it. Now back to the video...
Fascinating stuff, I'd not come across this before, or if I had, I totally missed it
I'm going to have to come back to this again tomorrow.
I love fingerstyle and in a list of many world composers adam is highlighted.
Thanks & groove on! 😊
Amazing lesson my friend! Just grab my guitar!
Thanks & groove on! 😊
I'm glad that you use your Nylonstring guitar more often, especially for the jazzy stuff! Nice lesson - as always...
A Unique Master of the Acoustic Guitar is Masterclass Rafferty!!
And, he's what people call #InsightMusician!!
Really great lesson once again, Sir!
🔥👌
Great video Adam! Thanks for posting these videos. One small suggestion, if your guitar had fret markers it would make it easier to follow your fingers.
Paul - it would make playing easier too! Will do for sure on the next vid!
Hi Adam, great video. Just subscribed to your channel. For me, jazz guitar is something of a black art, or seems to be. Your videos help open up my understanding 👍
Colin oh man if you want to go down the jazz rabbit hole I can help !
@@adamrafferty haha I definitely do. I'm into blues, rock, but jazz seems like another world
We mentioned Rodrigo’s Guitar Concerto on your Chick Corea clip the other day......and here it is again! 👍
Yes yes!!!....Except Rodrigo's is based on the 5th scale degree - this example is on the 9th - but similar melodic shape for sure (nerd stuff....)
Well... Lucky me... I've always been too lazy to learn scales and boxes... So no hard wiring to overcome... lol.
Thanks Adam. The free pdf on the 5 blues turnarounds wouldn’t appear for some reason.
Simon I'll check - please check your spam folder. Also if you opted in once for it, it may not be sending a 2nd time...stand by!
SImon send me a private email and let me know what email address you signed up with.
Thanks Adam! I think you are a great singer too! Let us know how you sing! Please! Hi from Siberia
Hey, thanks!
@@adamrafferty Adam I want to say that I’m so sorry . I am ashamed of actions of my government. You are a great man!
Great Adam! Also "Laura" starts witn 9th...
Yes, right on!
Good stuff bro. Keep it coming. Using in a lesson today with one of my students. Love ya but we're not splitting the $.
Randy LOL :-)
Your cordoba has a nice ring. What model is it?
GK negra 🤘🏿
Hi! Thanks for the lesson. I like this sound you are exposing. I'm brazilian, but my mother listen to Sade and Benson since I was kid, so it's kind of familiar. My question is: when may I use it? What kind of progression I know it can be used?
Anyway, congratulations, I've seeing your videos for a long time, you are a one man band! Have fans in Brasil!
Allyson - that's a longer conversation. RThe purpose of this video was to give a blues based player a new "sound" and melodic force to get outside the melodic behavior of a typical pentatonic scale / blues approach. please let me know exactly what you want to learn so I can maybe make a lesson to answer your question.
Thanks for answer. I believe I'm a "blues based player". A Ritchie Blackmore's fan, Deep Purple fan. So, the context of rock is where I'm playing the most.
However, including listening to Deep Purple and Rainbow we can notice how he is breaking the pentatonic box, at list when its aproaching the 80's. I believe it's awesome when we can get a more groovy sound when rocking. In the context of blues it's easier to do it, but as you say, there are times when solo and harmony don't match, you try it but it doesn't fit. So, my question is how to know when it's possible to use this note. It's more difficult to me, because as you see I like to mix things.
Excuse me. Bad english. It's not my mother language. And thanks again!
Being more practical: if I am looking for a backing track to improvise, how can I know I can play this note or not?
Robben Ford is the Master, pentatonic + jazz
🚩Just came upon you. Interesting! The second u started playing... WHAT I SAW.. A BASS PLAYER. No joke, u play Acoustic like a bass player. Or it's ur hands. No matter. I play very well 👍G. Benson... Wow long-time ago
I love "how" bass players play their instrument - cool that you noticed. Many great upright and electric players influenced my playing - even more than some guitar players!
@@adamrafferty I'm a Acoustic player but thought if I was gonna go All IN,I should understand Electric. Completely different world, oddly. Different Techniques. Just started My Big Goal.. Fingerstyle.
U have a nice sound. Hope to look at some other videos.
@@suegates5 Thansk Sue!
Does Careless whisper -George Michael song has the same note?
You got it! The first note of the opening sax riff is exactly this note - the minor 9th!!!!
Hi I couldn't find the the track for this lesson
It's in Spotify. Petti also has a youtube channel, keep looking 0- his stuff is everywhere!
@@adamrafferty This lesson hit me in hard, I love George and Lee . In your training can I focus on groves and melodic approaches like this?
🚩Was a tad tough catching where u were... No fret markers. Or maybe throw some Tabs to bring the concept home
Oh Sue - sorry. Everyything was in A minor / 5 fret. The note I taught on top of the A minor was 7th fret.
The note over Am scale sounds like the head of "Cry me a river".....
There you go Phil. Learning jazzy sounds as melody points in tunes you already know is a great thing to do. It takes the brain out of it, and lets your ears guide you.
I can smell music.. so 5 senses for me I guess.
Sorry Adam but most lessons are better to break out
Post some links of the lesson you think are better here as a reply...let me see what you think is better :-) I'm very curious!
