Trade Solos With Me On "Feelin Alright" - C7 to F7

In this video I walk you through an interactive jam session over a backing track for "Feelin Alright." A great jam session song that uses C7 to F7. I trade using minor pentatonic, minor pentatonic plus the blue note, the diagonal pentatonic scale, and even the dorian scale.

I've tried the diagonal pentatonic method for a few weeks now and I found it to be really interesting for phrasing. I feel that this method works great with funk and groovy style but I have difficulties with other styles. Maybe you could do these videos for minor blues, shuffle, ...

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Cool! Diagonal is great. I have a few other of these. Maybe I’ll make some diagonal specific. Do you have the course?

[@bobygap]

I don't have the course but I'm considering getting it. I think I have a certain knowledge with pentatonics and arpeggios as a bedroom player and I'm wondering if the course is going to be valuable.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

@@bobygap It's definitely valuable. It has over 106 interactive exercises, tons of great backing tracks, and a lot of insight that I haven't seen in other courses. The biggest thing I notice is that people teach the long route to becoming better at improv/soloing. I've been studying it for a long time and it really works for my students. Plus, there is a 14 day money back guarantee.

[@Nikoo033]

I think I would naturally do the reverse: play C Dorian on this, just can’t help 😂, and end phrases with a bit of minor pentatonic.

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Haha! I feel that also. I like both.

[@BlazertronGames]

I'm not a massive fan of the backing track volume ducking when you're playing, it's a bit distracting, but these videos are great! I'm surprised there aren't more like it on youtube, it's incredibly fun. I especially like the blues one you did, where you start with more time each, then eventually move to 2 bars each, 1 bar each, and then together. It's great! If you could do a slower blues one, that would be awesome!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Thanks for the comment. That’s interesting. I’m not ducking the backing track. Might just be the way the compressor is hitting in when I mix it. It’s been a bit tough to dial because I don’t enjoy wearing headphones but still dialing it in. Slow blues would be cool!

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

So interesting. I just checked it out. It must be the compressor on the master bus ducking the volume. I'll try to fix that in future videos.

[@BlazertronGames]

@@DanielSeriffMusic Awesome! Excited to see more.

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

So when exactly can you use Dorian? When it’s a 7th chord? As thought mixolydian was more appropriate. A little confused

[@DanielSeriffMusic]

Hey! Great question. This would actually make a really good video but I'm going to try and answer it here as detailed as I can. This chord progression is two dominant chords. C7 to F7. So, it very clearly comes from blues inspired stuff. The blues in its early formation, basically had dominant chords and blues musicians improvised and played minor pentatonic riffs over them. This is just steeped in the sound of the blues. Technically it is "wrong" or theoretically incorrect. But it's a sound we love. A little later, blues musicians, jazz musicians etc started improvising with major pentatonics as well. Then cats were using the modes. Especially mixolydian and Dorian. So, if you wanted to play mixolydian on both chords you would actually need to play C mixolydian and then move to F mixolydian. Because there is a super important note that changes between those two chords. E to Eb. HOWEVER, a little secret I learned a long time ago from the great masters...you don't actually have to play the changes. Instead you can play blues inpired and just play C dorian. Dorian works great over static minor 7 chords, but it also works over dominant 7th chords because it's like C minor pentatonic with a couple extra colorful notes. So it's blues inspired like the early blues players playing minor pentatonic over it...but then you get those color tones that sound great on both chords. I hope that makes sense! The easiest way to see this write down the notes in the each chord. Write down the notes in C minor pentatonic, C major petatonic, C mixolydian, and C dorian, and compare them. Have a good day.

[@stratocumulusnimbostratus328]

@@DanielSeriffMusic fantastic answer, will write them down and compare options over the 2 chord vamp. Very helpful thank you 🙏
