John Scofield w/ Dennis Chambers OUTSIDE lines solo on "Protocol"

[@victormusic01x]

..thanks for uploading this John, studying a solo like this really gives you an insight into how Johnny Sco develops an improv over a static root type of groove, exploring a lot of different tonalities on the way..good stuff brother

[@johnmorrison5812]

Thank you. That's why I wanted to learn this one, and also share the notation so we all can learn from it.

[@seanwayland]

It's such great language isnt it . Shame the guitar isnt louder on the original recording . Hearing it like this makes you realise how tough Sco was playing at the time. Some of Dennis Chambers best playing too this one

[@rogierasselt4972]

awesome man, I WORSHIP sco. I have seen him play protocol live in the '90's and it was quite a spectacle to behold. Very well done, great tone and accurate score, my HUGE COMPLIMENTS brother!

[@johnmorrison5812]

That’s awesome to have seen him back then. Jealous! Thanks so much

Nice Job, bro 👍👍👍

[@Kadehr]

Big thanks for your work!

[@johnmorrison5812]

It’s my pleasure! Thanks for watching !

[@TheRealSandleford]

the solo reminds me of R ford, used a lot of those mechanisms w/YJ. Listing the scales is a cool idea

[@johnmorrison5812]

Yea some similar diminished lines right? I can hear that. I’ve been checking out some Ford lately

[@TongJahn]

Damn it John thanks for the chord brackets up top. Gone have my 12 yr old practice this and so much easier to explain it now.

[@johnmorrison5812]

Wow serious?! Some kid 😅

[@mitchmartz5064]

Thanks 🙏

[@insidejazzguitar8112]

Man, what a great solo and great transcription!

[@jacobaci]

since a long time on the web ;-)

[@lightningstrikes7314]

Awesome-what's the underlying harmony? A sort of static G7#9 or is it more vague than that neither stated as major or minor, just a G tonic/root?

[@johnmorrison5812]

Yes that’s what I was thinking. There’s a specific bassline for the melody that is hard to specify scale but it starts on G and sounds like G diminished or G7#9

[@lightningstrikes7314]

@@johnmorrison5812 Right, yes, thanks for the reply, great job on the transcription and performance.

[@gavinashun]

Nice tone - what effects you using? Rat with very low gain and a boss chorus?

[@johnmorrison5812]

Thanks 🙏 Boss chorus yes. Not a rat but it was either Plim soul or Mini ts9. Also got the analogman compressor and EP booster

[@filipdinevmusic]

Great album
