Triads, arpeggios, and pentatonics can be used to generate a lot of great outside melodies. The listener can follow them because they're familiar, but you're placing them in an unfamiliar context. The late Michael Brecker and Jerry Bergonzi are great at using them.
@SmokescreenAbyss i like to take any shape that could be made in key, and then descend or ascend. and i mean any shape. usually 2-4 notes is per shape works.
also instead of where theres a drum fill... but in between as long as its on beat, and as long as you dont remain outside for long.
cool lesson Thanx... i dont speak english well... so. i see guthrie govans solos... i dont understand anything, hahaha i play dorian and pentatonic blues licks and impro. but when i use outside notes.. or half step pentatonic up or down (moving all the box for a short time) or at drum fill .. sounds not good... so im tryin to find short licks... again thanx for the video... keep rockin
@Wallimann your videos are amazing. i just came across them while searching for the tc electronic flashback. i love fusion and jazz and man you just brightened my day
Very easy to understand, your teaching technique opens up the brain in a ....."oh that's how to do it" sort of way. Great. Are you using the Eleven Rack by the way? sounds very natural
Man, I've been playing for thirteen years. I'm always trying to learn something new. The drum analogy was probably one of the best things I've heard in a while.
Nice trick to sound more advanced than you really are. Regarding the backing tracks, it would be nice to have a small pdf with the chords (and perhaps also the voicings) used written out, especially when you pay money for them.
Hey David, when you write a backing track do you expect people to play along it in a certain way? I mean when you wrote that drum roll for "Manhattan Jazz", did you expect people to do that "play outside" thingy?
@wesmartino64 Typos are a different thing. Established artists shouldn't be mispelled. That is what prevents us from being apes, my friend. Now troll somewhere else please.
Sorry for the insult, but I just respect the heck out of Walliman, and I felt the need to defend his honor. Also, I recently learned that his native language is French, which may result in the occasional typo in English; or, it could just have been the result of a simple keystroke error ("i" and "o" are adjacent keys, he may have just finished working on a slide guitar exercise before typing)
great lesson :) its amazing the stuff you can get away with as long as you land in the right place XD perhaps you could do some lessons on melodic minor and it's modes for improvising? I never really understood how to use that
this gave me an introduction to fusion, a great class, simple idea that sounds great, thank you very very much!

Also, you could try to play diminished runs and triads inside a whole tone scale. It's really easy to play outside then. Great video :D

Hey Wallimann. Check out "Beyond the 7th Galaxy" (Chick Corea, Return to Forever).
E.g. watch?v=3KpMIp_GsRQ
It starts with a figure based on chromatically sliding a three-note chord arpeggio. You can see why I was reminded of that!
I think that tune may have been written by the drummer, Lenny White.

No mean to be a dick but that isn't almost a chord it's actually a triad, just play an random E shape you will notice those 3 notes.
And on other strings they have names too: on the 6 5 4 augumented,5 4 3 augumented too 4 3 2 major 3 2 1 minor.
Sorry to be such a dick about it.
