How To Supercharge Your Lines & Improvise Better!

[@simple-security]

Wow I was just getting used to caged and pentatonics. And you show up with full diatonics with modes over progressions! And yet this will likely become my ULTIMATE daily practice! Thank you!!!

[@mattfranceschini]

You're welcome! Happy practicing!

[@gshep42]

Thank you, sir!

[@mattfranceschini]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Matt!

[@mattfranceschini]

Thanks for watching!

The Julian Lage scale practice of randomising notes within a position would help/apply here? I havnt actually tried that but remembered your video on it when I saw and heard what you just did in your first example

[@mattfranceschini]

It could certainly apply here as well!

[@mattloreti182]

Hey Matt! I get that by using G mixolydian we're still in C major territory and it preserves the cadential sound, but is there a reason why you choose F major over F lydian?

[@mattfranceschini]

Hey Matt! (Great name by the way), I used F major rather than lydian so that it implied a different tonality. Over any major chord (unless it's functioning as a dominant or V chord) you could play either the major scale related to the root or lydian. This is because both scales contain all notes of the chord (root, Third and Fifth). This is something done by a lot of guitarists and other instrumentalists and can be a cool way to add extra colour to your lines as when doing this not all notes are diatonic to C. They break away from the notes diatonic to the key but because all of the notes work with the chord being played, it works! This is broadly referred to as "Chord Scale Theory" and I have a video exploring this in some more depth here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np24pZeHmcaae5I Hopefully that makes some sense but let me know if I can clarify anything further!

what loop pedal do you use?

[@mattfranceschini]

I just use the stock looper in the HX Stomp! If you're looking for a more affordable looper (as there's no need to go buy a stomp if all you're looking for is a looper) I used to use and love a TC Electronic Ditto!
