From my humble one known pattern of pentatonic scale on the guitar to immediately go to Coltrane. Yep. This is happening.

[@ciousli]

Thanks McCoy Tyner. You are a legend who'll never be forgotten

[@gspotjazz]

It's also nice to play the dominants as alt. chords and play the major pentatonic a tritone away from the root, or the pentatonic b3 a half step above the root. Nice video, brother.

[@maikodespeignes354]

Your content really inspires me and I have been practicing pentatonic seriously for about a month now and it is amazing how my vocabulary increased and also fluidity through ideas. Being a bass player, the vocabulary that I learned by playing bass line was mostly pentatonic and being able to translate that knowledge into melodic ideas was a real breakthrough for me.

[@lamusica3361]

Glorious! I hear so many French Impressioist tunes here - especially Paul Maurice's 'Chanson Pour Ma Mie.'

[@richardmott242]

Nick, this is wondrous! Even more so than usual. Thank you for the jsical ideas and even more, the humanity behind them.

[@blacklonggadogg]

Prolly, the easiest to digest and most readily applicable method for Giant Steps improv, that even a newbie can grasp. Thanks, Maestro Nick!!

[@spicer41282]

Heart Strings Pulled and Played! Thank you for the inspiration! My music purchase for my Summer expansion.

Wow! This looks like a great book. Nick's exercises are always helpful and productive (and I do own quite alot of methid books). Will definitly check it out. Thanks Nick 🙏

[@mohamadritmanahmad868]

Thank you for sharing!

[@Smoobloob]

This is honestly not only useful but COOL AS HELL! I was exclaiming out loud when you pointed out the emerging pentatonic from stacking 4ths from the major 7!

[@AlejandroGonzalez-wo5fk]

You are a gold mine of knowledge

Very good. Thank you

[@loicmontille3477]

Really nice💓

[@jaaklucas1329]

Very clever stuff here.

[@ProdRex-iz8do]

It's very true. Some of the information you've shared has truly changed and improved my playing overnight. And like you said, it's information I already knew. I know my pentatonics, triads, how to harmonize scales. I think what transformed my playing the most was probably the idea of intentionally using extensions. Which triad pairs really help with!

[@juanluis4030]

Gracias!!!

[@octavio-blues-sound3022]

This is awesome brother...!!! I confess you I was very near... exactly on the verge to discover this concept... Just a tiny little step more ahead that could take me likely a thousand years span but... With this kind of help...!!! I'll there maybe just in one or two...!!!... Thanx so much man... This is real knowledge...!!!

This is amazing Nick! I’ve bought a couple other scale and chord studies from you and always impressed with how deep you go. This is a lifetime of knowledge you put together here. Already ordered my copy and can’t wait to get started!

awesome thanks!

Interesting colors interesting sound

[@TamasMatyok]

Well, practicing these patterns on bass clarinet is kind of harder than I thought :D

[@martinchococo]

Que hermoso el candombe del final!

[@gen_music]

Amazing thank you for such a wonderful class What to impose on Minor chords in Giant Steps ??

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

The other advantage would be when we applied that on maj7 chords that there will be used most of the time maj7#11(for a reason, that the #11 makes it ongoing ) while the 4 makes it really stop...and bring back to the 3rd.. so two possibilitie's on for instance Cmaj7#11 are 256 and & 73#11 D GA(+ the inversions of course EF#B GAD & F#BE ADG BEF# or in opposite direction... or the 2nd one D F#G & E A B the Inventor of this technique is Mick Goodrick, John Scofield was using his technique both in his solo's and in his improvisations(Techno, Protocol, rule of the Thumb etc)for me his Highlight-period...of course I do like his later stuff also...

[@dvez7542]

Niiiiice!

[@lawrencesteele5701]

this is awesome, thanks for sharing this, do you have any notes on what other chords 'work' for this system? like what chord types you could substitute for the maj7 or 7sus4 and still have the pentatonics as described here 'fit'? will try some things myself of course! maybe 6/9 could work in place of the maj7? any other chord type and pentatonic combos you have found could be useful in building my own progressions+melodies. it's a very useful technique as it's easier to memorise different pentatonic scales than full 7 note scales for each chord and the way the scales rapidly change and flow into each other gives a great jazzy sound and makes up for the more simplistic sound of the pentatonics.

[@user-fr7lw2nw5z]

As the robots take over, bright minds like yours convey the deeper understandings that humanity can comprehend!

[@davidwhite2949]

First of all thank you for these videos They’re very helpful I want to say, though, these don’t work as improvisations or compositions, as they are. A bit like run-on sentences I would want to hear melody and phrasing But they’re probably just intended as exercises or demonstrations, and I can appreciate that

[@LuiGomes]

Wolllll !!

[@eternalrainbow-cj3iu]

Okay although I of course was acquainted with pentatonics etc..I did study all your idea's Maybe something that could be interesting for you as a new topic could be GMC, In case you're not familiar with it it is Generic Modalty Compression. the interesting thing is that you were almost doing that at D7 using D G C a sus4 stack of 4ths lets say a "Q"s. but In GMC that would have been merely something like Bb Eb Ab and the remaining "Triad"= would have been F C F# so this is of course over altered D7 Do you get the idea?? The Root is compressed and the rule is to steal of tw remaining triads a 3rd and change it into a 4th or a 2nd so that to interval shapes remain that are not the 135 so also the result is modalit but the advantage of course is to not play the root, So to give your solo more wings than normal..Used to this idea will really give the feeling of coming down if you are used to not play the roots any longer. Of course this takes at least the same effort of your 4ths and pentatonics that seem easier then they are..to really adapt them....
