Nice video. It might be helpful to many of those watching that this is not an example of soloing “outside” of traditional tertian chords. A large percentage of what is presented in this video is modal soloing over quartal structures. In quartal comping, this yields incredible freedom while soloing, because there are no avoid tones. You can use pure modes, pentatonics, 4th-based arpeggios (like Rick’s sus4 examples, which are practically quartal already and only two notes shy of being pentatonic. In songs where you want to preserve the tertian changes and still develop interesting solos with “outside” moments, learn about chromatic enclosures, approach tones, linear chromaticism, and reharmonization. Soloing over quartals is ALMOST (but not quite) as easy as soloing over a traditional blues progression. When soloing in the McCoy Tyner fashion (such as this), I like to play around with similarities and contrast between modes by moving the quartal structures around by various patterns, and in the improvised melody, having the choice to emphasize similarity or contrast (or even sometimes both).

Well, I wasn't going to write in so much detail, how misleading this is, but I'm going to write, that if he wanted to show, how modal progressions work, the least he could do, would be to analyze a McCoy Tyner passage and realize, that this is not so simple as he's trying to convey.

It really helps to use melodic minor scales like Abmaj7+5=Fmelodic minor or Gbmaj7+5= Ebmelodic minor. All that matters is that C is in the chord scale

Close!!! The Gb Eb- F#7 was actually all just an arpeggio on Gb, followed by an E maj, then back to C. Essentially, a simple pattern outlining mostly pentatonic major ideas down in whole steps 3 times and back to the 1.

This is awesome! I love improvising over a pedal. I'm curious about how you make decisions to use the sustain. When do pull it up? When do you leave it down? I love what your doing, but my sound tends to get muddy harmonically when I use the sustain at all.

9:51 ( all over C)C major to Aflat major (basically major to minor) and then whole steps down: Gflat major to Emajor. whats kind of funny is that in Aflat and Gflat, lydian is logical as d and c are the #11 and more in Cmajor than d# and c#, while your voicing E in Lydian over C implies C7#9. Great stuff

@zecruz64924 жыл бұрын
Great content! But since your implying harmonic context on your left hand, at least for me it doesn't sound like outside, it's like your playing through chord changes. Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought this subject occurres when harmony stays exactly the same but only the leading part is outside the changes, otherwise this are just chord substitions right?

@sheilamacdougal48742 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's another way to think of it - changing from C dorian to C phrygian. Indeed any "outside" scale that has C in it could be regarded as a mode or scale on C. But thinking of it as a major Ab scale means you might focus on Ab as the temporary centre.

Thanks for the lesson but it's a little too confusing to me. You seem to be playing more in a McCoy Tyner style. Could you please do a short video on how to play outside in a straight ahead style on basic chord progressions such the 2-5-1s on Autumn Leaves? You can look up "Cory Henry and Bill Laurance Autumn Leaves" on KZbin to see what I'm referring to. It would be nice to get some insight on that. Thanks!

Oh boy, as a student you are confused and as a teacher you're confusing, it's like you don't have a clue of what you're talking about. Please, pick up a couple of passages from McCoy Tyner's numerous solos over pedals, (specially with Coltrane), and analyze them, you will find it a lot more intricate and simple at the same time, than what you're trying to convey.
