@paulbrownAD sorry, I m not sure I follow how F7 to B7 is a V-I. I think you meant to write that it was a tritone sub. Also, the 'old school' approach to V7(alt.) was/is a min melodic half step up, there are actually quite a few approaches other than that, even, in the old school. Im sure you meant that, instead. =)

How cool can you get!

[acippico]

You can keep your shredders and technique freaks, Larry has SO much soul.

[rayjdragonballz]

sounds very jazzy at some areas. good improv

[slowhand100]

I'm thinkin of buying this lesson if there is a tablature for this particular improvisation.

Can someone enlighten me?

[poepneukerobotjes]

why does melodic minor work over the 4th chord? too bad he doesnt explain anything

[coolioto]

Have a look at the intervals of the scale relative to the 'B' or '4' chord. It's basically a dominant scale with a tri tone.

[paulbrownAD]

@poepneukerobotjes I'll try to explain

[paulbrownAD]

F7 to B7 can be seen as a V-I resolution even though you going to the IV, and Larry is hinting at an altered V chord. The old school way of playing over any altered V chord would be to play a major scale up a half tone, so play G major scale over F7alt. then just lower the third and you get a melodic minor scale that sounds much hipper than playing the major.

[poepneukerobotjes]

@paulbrownAD allright thanks man!

[kentano2000]

@paulbrownAD You mean F#7, right? :-)

This is the best demonstration of less is more.

It takes more artistry to play this style.

My playing is going to the next level because of this vid.

Thank you Larry.

This is the best alternative to Berkley or GIT, and it's so much cheaper.

I'm so glad I discovered True Fire, it has already paid off in many ways. Just the jam tracks are worth the $20 per month.

I can't recomend it more, and for commitment avoidence types like me, don't worry, you can cancel at any time, no contract.
