Hi mike hope doing ok ! , interesting lesson mike ..never seen this before ..I use the Phrygian dominant especially playing over standards like autumn leaves ...but this opens up a bit of variety with comping and subs also ..will try this by putting it again with autumn leaves ..with the flat five subs .thanks mike ..keep going !! Johnny from London 👍

Hello Johnny, Yes, it's a very useful tool to have in our musical toolbox. I'm just checking, Did you receive my email with the PDF's? Thanks. Mike

[@GodsStoryteller]

Thanks. I'll come back to watch this, after I've gotten a strong hold on the phrygian scale itself.

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

You're welcome! Take your time with the Phrygian scale-it's worth mastering before diving deeper.

Well done Mike, you are giving us very interesting lessons, the kind I have always wanted to learn. Thanks a lot.

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Hello Boza, I'm very pleased to learn that you are enjoying the lessons my intention is to present information that will empower the musician to go one step beyond imitation and be able to play anything that you want ... someone else's music, your own music, and everything in between. My best wishes to you. Mike

Excellent video. I learned a lot after listening to your approach. Thank you.

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Glad it was helpful! All the very best. Mike

Thank you for this Mike. This is just brilliant ! I tried playing scales and arpeggios with the examples and the colours are just out of this world. 😁

Hello Kevin, glad you are enjoying these lessons. Thank you for watching. Mike

Wow what fantastic sounds... !!!

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Thank you 😋

[@soundlimit300]

Very interesting Mike.

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Thank you for watching and appreciating the lesson!

[@Guitar-Ed]

Thank you so much for this! I have been racking my brain trying to understand the contrast between G and Cm used toward the end of the last video "ULTIMATE Jazz Guitar Scale Mastery!". I think I understand what you mean by contrasting now. I expected it to be built from the tritone and just didn't get it before.

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Hello Ed, I'm glad you are enjoying the lessons, some of these concepts take a while to get your head around however it's definitely worth the effort. Warm regards, Mike

My Uncle use to tell me same "Old Wives Tale" about Bread Crust. As you can probably tell from my profile picture my Uncle was a very funny guy.

Did your hair grow curly? Cheers. Mike

This is beautiful... Is this "trick" a stand alone thing? Or can you use/superimpose it over normal changes?

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Thanks for your question, you can use this method to find contrasting chords to any chord progression and you can also mix chords from the original progression with the new contrasting chords. It can be a handy tool when you are looking for a particular sound, you will have several options that are no that obvious using conventional methods. All the very best. Mike

Hey Mike. I would like to buy a guitar. But It’s quite hard to pick one. I’m thinking in the range of an Ibanez AF2000 which is the one I want to get

[@MikeHayesGuitar]

Hello Johan, thanks for your comment, I'm not familiar with the Ibanez AF2000 ... I've just had a look and it looks like a fine guitar. Ibanez do make excellent instruments, my favorite guitar is an Ibanez. Good luck with your guitar playing (and buying). All the very best Mike

[@keenanlarsen1639]

Haha I've heard the one about carrots, but never the one about bread crusts and curly hair!

[@grantgre]

You lost me at the chalkboard OK and then I tried to fast-forward and then you're going back to the C scale or something and then like what was the complementary scale was the purpose of that I lost this whole video man you gotta do a better job

[@MikeHayesGuitar]
