[@RustyMadd]

Just FYI: Fusion doesn't mean to "play outside", playing "outside" does. Fusion is where two or more disparate styles (whether related or not) of music are joined together into a new "fused' sound, style, or even genre. In the case of DiMeola and that ilk, they just kept the name "fusion" which was short for Jazz-Rock fusion. Whereas Ingwe and that ilk took on the name "neoclassical".

Man, your phrasing is awesome. Your channel is excellent. No dumb intros, no gimmicks, no forced attempts at humor, no crazy jump cuts. Solid theory presented with integrity. You are the man.

[@meechomarcho]

Rob is a treasure to the guitar student world. His material is consistently fantastic.

[@coreyw1353]

This is currently the best guitar theory video on KZbin.

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@asrafulhaque3598]

Just wooow best awesome lesson

[@credencentm925]

Agreed!

[@WickBeavers]

Yes. And that ain’t Fox News reporting- I just found this and am gonna hurt some fingers today!

[@WickBeavers]

Really really NO REALLY GREAT LESSON! Thank you.🎉🎉🎉😊

[@jasonmaggard9004]

Holy cow... I've been playing for 45 years with pro experience - this is elegant. So concisely presented without missing any information and it simplifies and enlightens. These are patterns and concepts even advanced players spend months learning. I sent this to one of my buddies who has a degree in classical music and it even taught him a few things. Simply excellent. Thank you.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@Sensei10238]

One of the best videos on KZbin about fusion guitar. Please never delete this one! This helps so many people for sure.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@MrNight-iw9md]

10/10 a wealth of fusion knowledge and a comprehensive “cookbook” for any advancing guitarist to get that outside sound. It should be illegal to give this stuff away for free 😂 Thank you!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks! I like the name 'Cook book' :)

[@wynd505]

This isn't just for guitar players. I'm a keyboard player and working on outside playing. This tutorial is absolutely fantastic and very helpful! I love these techniques! Thankyou! 🎹

[@jamsforyams]

This is an insane amount of information! One of the best guitar lesson videos I've ever seen on KZbin. Thank you!

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you :)

[@timharding7381]

Huge thank you from NZ. A wonderful tutorial using such a depth of knowledge and clarity. 🙏🏼

[@Minnesconi]

Nothing better than to see a new video on this channel. Thanks, I am spending all my free time with my guitar and improving.

[@centraal22]

Fusion achievement unlocked. Thank you.

[@MrSupercracker1]

I just learned more in 30 minutes about playing outside then I did after 20 years in the navy band and 6 years at Berklee..

[@et_cetera_]

Unbelievable tutorial. Never seen anything so clear and comprehensive. Very grateful for this

[@Mr604bourne123]

talking with music examples is the key.

[@stevetaylor6488]

Thank you Rob...doing the hard yards back in the day and passing your knowledge to us.

[@0000song0000]

the algorithm knows me well, and knows i need to improve my understanding of theory 😀

[@cosmonaut9942]

This lesson is fantastic! It really helped me crack the code to outside playing. Great explanations with demonstrations.

[@mlite84]

Wow this was an amazing lesson. There’s not many other teachers/youtubers with this caliber guitar lesson as well as video production quality. I’ll be signing up to your patreon tonight. Thank you so much 🙏

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you !! :)

[@dostacos1]

Great advice for any player of any level. I love the way that Victor Wooten talks about notes in his book, The Music Lesson. He says each note is like it’s own little world, a la Horton Hears a Who. Focusing on letting each note live and breathe in the way that best serves the music is a cool way to think about playing. Thanks for the reminder, friend.

[@HussainSaahil]

The Altered scale examples are some of the best I've heard of this scale.

[@satchrules101]

Great teacher and players! Thank you bro .

[@ignaciobermudo5661]

Thx for the Master Class...Intelligent and intuitive way to see the complex wiring of Playing Out...I owe you

[@obeyken]

I ‘m not a fusion player, but this is really great. I’m trying to get better at playing out, and this is by far the most concise and well presented video I’ve found. I feel like Neo after a download. “Whoa… I know how to play outside“

[@krudler406]

omg Rob there is a lifetime of tasty ideas just in this one video....thank you so much for sharing your insights with us 🔥🔥

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks! :)

[@jcspaziano]

This is incredible information!! Wow. Its like the first 2 years of Music college and theory application on one video!

[@Illumignostic]

Trey Anastasio from Phish is the most innovative and overall best outside player Ivve ever heard. He can take minutes to resolve a phrase (largely due to the genius level support of the keyboardist), and when he does, the effect is greatly exxaggerated and causes an extreme catharthist in the listener. Listen to Chaldust Torture solo from New Years 1995 for a great example.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks for this contribution. Interesting!

[@chuckmaceanruig]

It’s all way over my head, but it’s great to know that there is a method to the madness! I love your playing, sir. Rock on 🤘🏻

[@anotherordinaryguyplayingg5308]

Best Guitar Content I have ever watched. To Really internalise would take years but won't need any other material in context of Note choices and colour tones ❤❤

[@nathancourtney2006]

Really like your approach to teaching.

[@alexproh3826]

can't thank you enough for your lessons, sir

[@verlaine4]

Just purchased this. Your work is fantastic.

[@QJamTracks]

Thank you!

[@RafaelSequera]

Really, there are courses that costs thousands of dollars and you dont learn as much as in this video! this is GOLD!!

[@nersesmkrtchyan3992]

Thank you very much finally someone explained clearly outside playing in KZbin

[@daominhquangk16_hl12]

Thank you for your knowledge sir

[@yzimsx]

All these techniques of superimposing and playing outside can be placed in one of two categories: (A) _altering_ the existing backing harmony, in effect creating chromatic alterations of perceived scale degrees in the harmonic context, but retaining the prevailing tonal center, or (B) superimposing a completely _different_ separate, competing harmonic context, so that the listener's ear begins to try and re-identify the whole picture, including the tonal center. Alternative A is easier because the soloist just has to add something to the soup and can rely on the unmodified backing harmony (and rhythm) to be there as a structure and safety net to lean on. But in alternative B, the soloist has to be able to play lines that are so strong and clear that the listener is convinced of the new competing harmonic context. It's like a soloist's harmonic takeover of the listener's perception. The lines have to be clear, they have to draw the picture of a different tonal center very strongly, and the notes have to be played with conviction, precisely articulated, in good rhythm. Even if you play all the right notes, if you play them with unclear timing or articulation, it just sounds like a mistake. This is what I've concluded after spending time trying to find out what works and what doesn't work when trying to play outside. I think the same applies to rhythmic superimposition as well. Many tutorials seem to emphasize the "what notes you should play" aspect, and don't emphasize enough the importance of good technique and phrasing. It's easy to go with the flow and agree with a backing track even with bad technique and phrasing... but to _disagree_ requires a clear idea, power and conviction. :) Even a dead fish can swim downstream with the flow. But to swim upstream it has to be a live one. ;)

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks for your clear contribution!

[@loudee2]

I agree with previous comments. This is awesome well done studies!

[@fulrayproductions7980]

don't know what's better...your playing or sense of humor lol great teaching

[@playin-with-fire]

I'm an older guitar player that is leaning towards adding new idea's into my playing. Your video is so spot on and to the point- I love it and thank you for it.

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks!

[@GINKBB]

An excellent lesson. Absolutely packed with clear and concise, usable information. Thank you! A great resource.

[@Stash777]

Absolutely awesome video, thank you so much! 22 minutes in (after several rewinds) and starting to get overloaded, this is definitely getting watched several more times over the coming days/weeks. So generous to share such a wealth of information 🙏

[@djmileski]

Your approach to teaching is very helpful

[@miketsai4288]

[@an0therperfectday]

Really precious informations, 1000 thanks !

[@thomasmartinscott]

An absolutely fabulous lesson! I'll probably have been dead for 12 years, 3 months and 2 days before I ever really get it down, but it's the best explanation I've ever seen!

[@KishanKamal]

your content is just amazing. Thanks for all the work you put into this

[@patandmacmusic]

I’m blown away at how excellent this video is. I would have dropped like $30 on this back in the day and it would have been more than worth it

[@dintom-hz3lf]

Nice. Thank you for this

[@Tocesz]

Very Nice course! I allways use the m7b5 arpeggio, playing it Minor 3rd apart. It creates an Amazing outside sound.

[@swingsshredtips1196]

awesome man! thank you! much love from Philly!

[@walterdelcampo8199]

Great video. Ton and half of precious info to digest. Zeer goed gedaan joh!

Incredible content

[@DenisDeS-Pb]

Nice work!

[@TheTwangKings]

Crystal clear as mud.

[@kevinpatrick4670]

ROB!!... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO... IT IS RIGHT ON TIME.!!! I always liked that odd unusual sound, but never knew how it worked!!! Besides playing physically, you definitely have to know your music theory. I checked out your video on exotic scales, and loved that one as well. Oops...Gotta Go!!! I'll have to get back with you sir, it's time to practice!!! THANKS AGAIN!!🎸🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵💪🏼

[@herverichet5993]

[@pollopinolo]

Thank you so much for sharing your music gemstones! I've just bought your e-book and I can't wait to start learning it. Greetings from Italy 🟩⬜🟥

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks Fabio!

[@LOWINESIBWAANGRANAUsiwara]

Interesting lessons 👍👍👍

[@fabioaquinoalvares]

You changed my life

[@MindsEyeVisualGuitarMethods]

And Bill Connors... Late 70s, fusion guitar albums, 'Step it' 'Assrmbler' and 'Double up'. Excellent video by the way

[@LydianLunch]

Awesome! I also use the Locrian mode to get a cool outside sound. So, on a G7 chord you’d play G Locrian, or the G# major scale. Contained within this scale is the minor pentatonic built off of the 4th of the chord. So on a G7 you’d play C minor pentatonic. This gives you the #5 and the #9. Anyway, great video. Thanks.

[@QJamTracks]

Good idea!

[@ianmartens5286]

As a fellow guitar teacher I really appreciate this resource. I'm learning lots here, THANKS!

[@maximilianosantana6518]

men, you're amazing, this is gold. Regards from Argentina!

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks :)

[@ErwinOliva]

Great lesson, but may need a bit of familiarity with scales, the different modes, and the different chords. So this is a bit advance for those wanting to play the outside chord. I do love the rhythm section.

[@TheloniusJ]

This has to be one the best comprehensive/succinct fusion outside lesson I've ever seen. Great content and perfect application examples. Bravo.

[@steelplayer118]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@tom87856]

Very interesting lesson. It should be a great idea to make an Ebook with it. Thank you so much.

[@QJamTracks]

E-book is coming up :)

[@winstonsmith8240]

Some really nice ideas mate, and that guitar sounds awesome 👌.

[@DragisaBoca]

Your videos are a blessing for the whole human kind, thank you! Do you consider doing an episode on the harmonic major modes? I recently got into those and they're tasty... :)

[@QJamTracks]

Yes, I will do a video about that :)

[@AlexisMorales-od6nc]

Thanks a lot!!! Brutal video!!!

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

Outstanding video, I’ll be back and back I’m certain! ❤

[@Smudger654]

Great video, great lesson! Did you forget John McLaughlin?

[@QJamTracks]

Yes... I forgot!. I listened to his playing a lot in the early days...

[@ngeljayvier]

You are my guitar héroe ! I want to be your disciple . I loving this información . Thanks a lot

[@QJamTracks]

Thanks :)

[@mraggrovator]

Fantastic channel and amazing playing.

[@Chreeseol]

Thank you for all you teach!

[@QJamTracks]

A very BIG THANK!!

[@smoovem6]

Wow! This video has unlocked a gateway to musical expression that had previously been a frustration for me to find! I have an acutely keen ear for All music but in particular for the voices of the guitar and have so many musical ideas in my head that I could never before now translate onto the fret board of my guitar! I have previously only played by ear starting when I was 9 years old trying to play my first and still Fav Al Dimeola and later Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Now 62 years old I'm trying to collapse some time frames to as quickly as possible get into Gig Level skills to play with my younger brothers who I inspired by my pursuit both of whom stayed with it and perform now Bass and Drums! This video has me excited and reinvigorated to pursue music with the same youthful passion that first inspired me to play and while thank you falls short of what I truly feel it's with Great Thanks and appreciation for you producing this Awesome video!

[@QJamTracks]

What a wonderful comment! Thank you and success!

[@edununez4710]

Great material, as usual!

[@akubangkit]

Wow.... ❤❤❤❤❤
