Guitar Lesson: John Scofield Style Lick

[HammondB200]

OCTOTONIC! it's OCTOTONIC

[ibraninnho]

Bravo Finocchio!

[TadRapidly]

Scofield obviously has skill but his lines don't sound very good. martino, benson, metheny, all their lines sound good, scofield's don't. I don't know why. They just don't.

[xMHM2010]

@TadRapidly thats a matter of taste. Personally, i think scofield's phrasing and lines are genius, absolutely second to none. Its a matter of opinion.

[TadRapidly]

@xMHM2010 i know. ;-) 'scuse the subjective / objective confusion on my part. :o)

[lukegreenhalgh225]

@TadRapidly

[joshbezemer]

this guy is a terrible host but the music is pretty cool

[frostybob123]

i really like that sound, does anyone know a particular john scofield song that sounds like this ?

[nevikmoore]

There are some nice ideas taught here. I'd like to know how Scofield himself arrived at the form. Obviously through paying his dues, but intellectually, what led him to it? Just curious. It might help our own thinking when constructing melodies and solos.

[SGCmyASS]

just knowing the half whole scale and figuring it out on his neck...

[Brunototguitar]

Why do so many people come visit those instructional videos just to talk shit? That video is good, keep up the good work, Guy Fenocchi, no matter what.

[bluewaterpig]

It's confusing for students when you say it's a half-step whole-step scale and then show the scale starting out whole-step half-step. I don't know if you messed up or just chose to start on the wrong scale degree, but you contradict yourself.

[YusefGuitarum]

I'll field this one. The scale would be half step whole step if you start from the root note of the chord. Starting from the third of the chord means you're already up to the fourth note of the scale. I probably just would've replaced the word "form" he uses with "pattern." Everything he said and played was correct though. The whole step half step scale incorporates all the chord tones of a dominant type chord.

[bluewaterpig]

Yes, I have a master degree from Berklee, I know this. I'm saying that it's a confusing way to teach the material.

[YusefGuitarum]

Fair enough.

[68buddha68]

Great! Easy and useful. Thanks

[Dvareckas]

????????????????????????

[Ehrokyn]

Man, you are a great teacher!! Thanks!

[videoman4450]

I'm not sure how this relates to John Scofield, in particular. This scale is used by everyone. You should rename this lesson. It is misleading.

[acannon2002]

Word.

[stashnyc]

Great lesson...Thanks

[wachman]

these eerie and mysterious sounding scales always fascinated me more than the traditional ones.

[Funkatronical]
