Line Games with Hexatonics

[@lawina76]

Another book that I bought because of your recommendation. You have a lot of fun with it!

[@rdpatterson2682]

Saw the thumbnail for line games a while back and then it disappeared. Thought I was seeing things. Kept looking for it. I had just started working with the book and was excited to get your input on it. Was worth the wait. Hope you continue with it because your insight is so helpful. Thank you.

Thank you Mikko! From Colombia and Venezuela

[@SirDLee]

Very good lesson. Really opens doors for new, creative ideas and sounds. Thanks.

[@ralphthomson2680]

Just ordered the book and look forward to trying the ideas and experimenting. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@williamrobinson7061]

In terms of harmonic variety, from 1 to 12 note sets, 6 note sets have the most intervallic variety before redundancy (repeats) of intervals begin to set in. This idea is from Howard Hanson's "Harmonic Materials of Modern Music." BTW, you present a good demonstration of a good book. I'm still following you. I just got a copy of Yusef Lateef's "A Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns" which is like a jazz version of Slonimsky's Thesaurus of scales.

Nice! I'm a bassist, but I tend to get most of my soloing ideas from guitarists and sax players. Your video on Naima was the key for me figuring that tune out, by the way. This book has been on my Amazon wish list for literal years, but I never pulled the trigger. I may finally give it a go.

[@Mikkokosmos]

Go for it 😎👍

[@thierrylaprevote3169]

Tack Mikko! Mycket intressant video, ska genast skaffa mig boken!!

[@williamrobinson7061]

Mikko, your musical ideas inspire me, and even your gear inspires me, so guess what? I got a D'Angelico Brighton in ocean turquoise like yours! Mine doesn't have gold harware, though. I love the guitar for jazz! I love the color, too!

[@Mikkokosmos]

Great 😃 Enjoy the new guitar 😃👍

[@NeoSoulquarian]

So nice to hear other using the POG2 Rosenwinkel tone and on a Dangelico with the quilter amp?? OP. ❤❤🔥🔥

[@mwicks1968]

Nice flowers!

[@connortutins4737]

This is a great breakdown, I recently started going though this book. This video came out just in time!

[@b0gzie]

Makes sense, as there are really only 6 interval classes. By my rough count there should be 70-something unique scales, do you happen to know if they are exhaustively listed out anywhere?

[@daniellichongjing1533]

Great presentation sir. If I may ask, what are your thoughts when compare this book to the cellular approach book by Randy Vincent as well?

[@Mikkokosmos]

I haven't played through this one yet. But I say get both they are great and cover different topics 😎

[@daniellichongjing1533]

@@Mikkokosmos certainly will do for sure, appreciate your reply

[@cubistguitar]

They compliment each other in many ways, Line Games works on more entire phrase type lines and longer over the fingerboard runs and Cellular looks more at the underlying harmonic options in fast moving progressions in single positions and tends to focus on 4 notes per chord and thus it is mostly "cells" of note and not entire lines from one chord or transition but lines that cover many chords quickly, Both books are essential for the jazz guitar student, they do different things, but meet up at times for similar concepts that overlap whatever approach you may take.

[@daniellichongjing1533]

@@cubistguitar thanks for your insightful words Marcus. I'll take them both when the inventory meets

[@lee95757]

I read through that book several years ago and it helped me greatly. Especially with the altered scale which I still use. I don't use the maj/min hex very much anymore because the sound is kinda limited. It's like if you used pentatonics all the time. It lacks flavor after awhile.

[@johnrothfield6126]

In the N. India Raga repertoire, Ragas are categorized as 5,6, or 7 notes, up and down. So, 5 up 7 down, 6 up 6 down, etc. Sounds very similar approach to that shown here. Probably you can look at much of western music and see that the melodies fit in one hexachord of another.

[@j.r.goldman3279]

what effect do you have on that Mikko ? at 1:14? a pedal ?

[@thierrylaprevote3169]

Jag har boken "Hexatonics" av Jerry Bergonzi som du säkert också har, vad tycker du om den?

[@Mikkokosmos]

Ja den är mycket bra.

[@alfcollins3810]

Thanks

[@salviescribal]

I like to play hexatonics in 3 nps, so i can repeat the same fingering through diferent octaves

[@mindcontrol67]

Same here and one 6 note pattern works over anything.

[@johnrothfield6126]

The hexachord in early music could be written G A B C D E - A very melodious grouping of notes. Probably because it has no tri-tone. The Italians put much stock in the hexachord.

[@lunastrat]

What are you using to get that Kurt Rosenwinkel sound?

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

EHX Pog 2 with the attack fader lowered. Tim Miller is a big fan also. When you remove the percussive pick attack it’s a more violin like sound.

[@jmags5332]

i’m stealing all your stuff all the time, thank you

[@chikkipop]

Is that guitar as nice as it looks?

[@KAkira-sq8gy]

what kind of pedals are you using in this video?

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Pog EHX 2

[@SecretSauce8]

the system in this book is not about triad pairs, isn't it? it's totally different?

[@Zxx459]

Jerry bergonzy, Walt W. Those are the main guys..... What you playing is a pentatonic B min

[@Mikkokosmos]

Pentatonic B min? What's that? 🤔

[@guimagranato6869]

This effect come from the POG?

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

EHX pog 2 with attack slider down

[@michaelt5012]

One of my new favorite hobbies is watching your videos about books and then ordering it thanks much better than gear reviews

[@Mikkokosmos]

Great. There are five books in todays upcoming lesson 😜😜

[@thestratman7903]

In TRUE guitar player fashion I have to ask...Does this book/and other Randy Vincent books have Tab, or just chord boxes and std notation?

[@Mikkokosmos]

Randy never uses tabs. Someone in a comment told me that he doesn't accept students if you don't know how to read music

[@thestratman7903]

@@Mikkokosmos Well I guess he wont be "Accepting" a sale on the 3 books I was going to buy. I can read,but I don't have any need to practice it, and tab is much faster backed up by notation for timing... Thanks, for your response Mikko, and also for your lessons. I appreciate it!!!

[@oldreddragon1579]

Why not just think C6 (Am7) G6 (Em7)?

[@thierrylaprevote3169]

Har du Skype lektioner?

[@Mikkokosmos]

Yup. Zoom. On Sundays 😎 best to contact me via email for info. My email is in my profile page here.
