I found Linear Expressions to be sort of a workout book to help guitarist develop in 3 ways: (1) to build dexterity and muscle memory for playing jazz lines, (2) to bridge the theory gap with an easy to digest formula that players can incorporate into their playing immediately, and (3) to train the player's ear for jazz motion and language. It is a daunting task to learn music theory by itself let alone figure out how to incorporate it into your playing without listening to hours and hours of older players in the idiom. Linear Expression is inspirational in that playing these lines, the player instantly sounds "correct" for the idiom which alone combats the tendency to get discouraged during practice. This book is not a "how to play like Pat Martino" book which Pat never would have been involved with. He was a natural teacher with an amazing curiosity and intelligence. He was not afraid to share what he learned with other lovers of the guitar. He was a true artisan I was fortunate to get to know. Rest in peace!!!

He uses the same lines over just about every chord, he just resolves them differently. Neat. He's influenced me more than just about any player, and I could listen to his playing all day, but I struggle to listen to him talk about it for more than about 5 minutes. Just saying. When he uses 'dorian' over altered you have to keep in mind that his 'dorian' also includes the major 7, and, he uses it to hint at the 1/2 Whole scale. I get your reservations though. Sweet playing by the way. 👍

When I started this book I had been working on modes all over the neck. I discovered that the minor forms were quite friendly on guitar and can be moved around to play other chord qualities than minor. Then I discovered I could add a lot of chromatic passing tones on the modes to make it sound more jazzy. Then I found that I could connect all the positions using diminished scales. So the Martino book came very naturally to me.

I was working with that book when I stopped for a second and noticed your lesson 77. I work through each line in Linear Expressions in every key until it's under my fingers and then let the stuff float out into my improvisation without trying to "play by memorization". Internalizing the lines seems to wake up the "inspiration in my playing. I find your "book oriented" method quite useful so I now go through a book rather than just sample. Your videos keep me motivated.

I have an observation about this book. It shows 5 forms based on eolian mode, but the 5 activities are clearly based on dorian mode. Because of it, you can use the same activity over the entire IIm7-V7-I7M. What makes the use of the book confused is the fact that it links the activity with the form with the same number. You have to link activity #1 with form #3, activity #2 with form #4, activity #3 with form #5, activity #4 with form #1 and activity #5 with form #2. You have, of course, to change the chord references on the forms, because it wrongly descripts eolian chords (you have do change the visual reference of the VI chord for the IIm7 inversion over the region you are thinking). You can easily note in some of these activities that it makes bebop chromatic approachs over the third of the V chord, and uses the notes of the diminished arpeggio, like you had and invisible V7(b9) hídden on the dorian activities lines. I don’t know why they did not repair that yet, because it is an old book.

I remember a few years ago I learned a four bar lick from Dave Stryker's book. It helped me immensely. It helped me phrase better on all my lines. I see this book being similar. A lot of these licks can be broken down to one bar phrases and still sound good, for the smaller bites that you mentioned. I really like the tritone potential, also. Say that I'm playing a four bar Fminor lick over Bb7 on a Bb blues. When I go to Eb7, I can just continue the same line, but move a half step lower, giving it more of an altered dominant sound. I think this is the fifth or sixth time I've watched this video. Thanks for letting me know about this book. Coupled with your great playing, it's helping a lot!!!!

The "Line Studies" have a ton of great information and examples on connecting chord progressions .. as you say the book is fun to play too... I have it memorized and go through it every day in about six minutes.The F minor activity has the natural E so it works well over a B-flat 7b5 there are also more line studies beyond the 5 "Activities" that work well over altered chords. This book is a nice steppingstone into Pats next series called "Creative Force" Would love to hear review on that as well🤩 Thank You. /Don

Very good. I think you see why so many combos get into an over choppy thing instead of various flows, at one time it was the thing to fit an entire scale pattern into a measure, and to make it more challenging strange choppy progressions developed good or bad sounding ( all relative to listener), also why, (in my opinion), so many jazzers were institutionalized for going nuts.

This is a great book. I would disagree with shortening the lines- learn each activity in its entirety then do what you want. Also F#/Gb- I’ve heard folks debate this forever, and although F# is ‘correct’, it’s six in one and a half dozen in the other as far as what I’ve heard used (some folks just don’t care about the details). Out of curiosity, do you relate each activity to traditional scale fingering? I.e. CAGED? Activity 1 is a G shape, activity 2 is an E shape, etc. for me that translates well into the rest of my playing. Also how each activity relates to melodic minor. Great review, and the way you are applying the activities I would guess the answer to my questions above is yes, but if I would add one critique to your review it would be to make those connections clearer
@Mikkokosmos4 жыл бұрын
I don't think about traditional scale fingerings or boxes. I stopped doing that 30 years ago or so. I have a video on horizontal vs vertical playing for those who are interested. F# is correct yes, anybody with the most rudimentary knowledge of music theory knows this. The "half a dozen" analogy went completely over my head. Maybe it's the language barrier? Yes I also think one should learn the lines first, but for me it works better if I apply segments of them into my playing 😎
@jansen_music4 жыл бұрын
Hey there .I recommended the book to Mikko.. I bought a second copy of the book, copied it and cut out every line ,then sorted them according to the activity position they fit. I found: 20 lines in Activity 1.... 18 lines in Activity 2... 15 lines in Activity 3 17 lines in Activity 4 14 lines in Activity 5 I organized in a fingering order : the 1st finger on first string. line starting with 2 finger etc. Each one is labled with a position number first then a decimal point so if I want to access 5.12 can go right to it regardless of key. Why the book relates the G minor to Bb Major is a puzzle ...? ... it makes more sense to think Dorian/ melodic minor not Aeolian.

Hey Mikko....I don't think you did this material justice. Before reviewing it I believe you'd have been better placed to give a more instructive take on it had you worked with the book thoroughly. By which I mean that you only really covered the "activities" and didn't touch on the line studies which are the meat and potato in my view. For a start, you'd find it most instructive if you made a study of how the lines are voice led at each point of chord change. Also the lines are worth analysis to see/hear which devices are used in their construction. There are upper extensions triads, inversions, pentatonic patterns, octave displacement....I could go on....but I suggest that you check out the "engine" of these lines. Regarding the notation....it has already been stated that Pat may not have written the book himself. I argue that whoever did, Tony Baruso? was a keen observer of Pat's vocabulary....but to suggest that Pat could not write notation is absolute BS. He is well known to have used manuscript books to write studies for his private students and he would have the student leave a second book that he would write in preparation for the next lesson with that student. He is also known for his exquisite penmanship in drawing up his elaborate diagrams. You will find that many of the books that were published by REH would have been overseen by the publisher Roger Hutchinson.....take a look at Joe Diorio's Intervallic Designs or Don Mock's Artful Arpeggios to see the same unwieldy number system. Pat probably had no say in that matter. This book is like a textbook on post bop guitar playing to my mind. I do agree with many of the points you made...like, why have 6 bar activities and then chop back to 2 bar phrases in the line studies? Also....yes, many of the minor forms written in the book will fail to line up over given chords. So....you either don't give a rat's about such details or you adjust them as you suggest. And....in closing, I must say that you gave a helluva performance given that you've not been working with the lines for long at all. Some nice chops! So....bravo for that.....I only go into this rant because I really like your videos and look forward to them .....we share many tastes....your classical guitar playing, particularly on the Sth American pieces. I even have a Cordoba C10 spruce....couldn't stretch to the beauty you have. Who thought we'd be playing Chinese guitars?....and good ones! Keep up the good work....and a PS....try looking at the 1bar licks that you can find throughout LE PPS....also check out Pat's Creative Force vids and the books....also Quantum Guitar . Best wishes

Yes , it would've been nice if he would've thrown in a couple of dom 7th and Maj7#11 chord ex. to show how versatile the lines are.He chose a minor sounding tune because this book is perceived by most players as dorian based .however if you notice at the beginning of the book Gmin is related to Bb maj not Fmaj ..Pat raises the Eb to E natural in the lines so we can get : Gmin/C7/Bbmaj7#11/E-7b5. Analyze the lines that way in 12 keys then there's a lot to work with...

The idea of this video is not to show you the lines so you can transcribe them, but to show you the info in the book so you can get it for yourself if you find it intriguing. In the book the lines are clearly laid out so you can learn them.

sorry, sounds nothing like pat! just fast diatonic scales.. better go into rock where they know little about harmony and, like you, nothing of ii-Vs.. you have good technique, but for me, that is all.. 😔
