I can guarantee Sco wasn't thinking of morphing from G# minor pentatonic to a G# lydian dominant scale - it's just sound. Yes, learning theory can help you towards freedom on the instrument, and you can benefit immensely from transcribing someone as brilliant as Sco - but eventually you must let go and just speak the language of music, with no licks and no theory in your head.
@TobyJackson- That is absolutely correct. Some of the greatest players in the world don't necessarily know a lot of the actual theory behind what they do. Jeff Beck for example.. he himself has said that he isn't much of a chordal player, but the guy creates melodies with the whammy bar and harmonics and makes you wonder what the hell is he doing?! Knowledge is only half of it.. the other half is technique, feel and controlling your ear, especially with pieces that have changes.
yeah . hes playing g# minor pentatonic lick which morphs into a g# lydian dominant scale with a nice chromatic idea on the high e .all of which takes place over a g# minor chord.wonderful phrasing
@lala4493 easy sound to get yet expensive. $3000 for boutique 18 watt tube amp with Vintage knob configuration (no pre gain), Dual humbucker guitar with volumn pots for each pick-up, bridge volumn at "4" Neck at "10". Compression for chord parts no compression for solos. Should get you in the ballpark.
It's funny how the applause footage at 7:08 in this video is exactly the same footage as the applause at 5:46 in the part 2 video.
Great playing though :D
