  • Thanks for sharing what you know. How I wish youtube was around when I started playing.

  • Keep posting,great job!! Finally I understood the concept.

  • All your videos are clear, precise - and very useful. Your playing is sublime throughout.

  • Nicely broken down. This kind of playing has mystified me for longer than I care to remember. It's very liberating to have it unveiled in such an easy to understand manner; I can hopefully wander from the pentatonic plateau into the jazz jungle a little further now. Cheers.

  • I like your lesson BUT I would really like to take that prs guitar and smash it

    good lesson though, I'm learning a lot

  • @Leonard5555

    what's next? Fashion critique?

  • GREAT LESSON!. iM YOUR NEW BIGGEST FAN!~ YOU HAVE A CD? I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO LINK A TRIAD USING EVERY FRET ALL THE WAY DOWN THFRET BOARD FROM LOW E TO HIGH E. YOU HAVE ANY VIDS ON THAT ??/?

  • Sounds so much like what Metheny does. Great lesson !

  • Great lesson.I don't see enough guitar players teaching this. It's important to play what most people consider "outside". Staying safe is why guitar players at guitar center and various guitar outlets get chuckled at. I would rather listen to a 10th year old wander around than hear a 40 year old play amin pentatonic. Just my opinion though. Again as stated thought you have to hit on that tonic! It sends the whole melodic idea home for you and the listener.

  • This is a GREAT lesson! GREAT! Such a reasonably simple way to explain a rather modern concept that virtually defines a great many styles of jazz and post-rock playing. I've never see it elucidated so well. Thanks! Ornette Coleman-ism, here I come!

  • Excellent lesson ! What I particularly liked the most was your break down of every other lick you were playing plus the point you made by demonstrating what happens if you don't return to the chord and keep playing outside.

  • PRS yessssss

  • This guy always manages to get such a jazzy sound even when he plays regular pentatonic improv stuff. I wish i could do that. Mine just sounds like a blues solo.

  • wow ive been doing this kind of stuff without being aware of what it was called in theory of music! :) nice video!

  • Holy crap, this man has no head!

  • great tutorial, and great tone too.

  • 8:45 straight from The Frank Gambale Book.

  • @Fearzero

    Sorry, no. Arpeggios in 4ths - Pat Martino circa 1969

  • @sheetsofsound Not knocking you btw, great lesson, I teach as well. I am just saying Gambale's book has that exact example in the key of C as well.

    Gambale prolly got it from Martino who got it from Coltrane who got it from Parker who got it from who the hell knows lol!

  • Is there a book or tablature associated with this topic?

  • @bassology123

    search for sheetsofsound on google

  • @sheetsofsound THANKS

  • Wow I am so happy I found this page. I have already learned a ton just from watching a few of your videos! It cracked me up when you said if you stay outside and don't come back it just sounds like you don't know what youre doing hahaha. I think Ive been there! Thanks brother!

  • Hi Jack, I was curious as to whether or not these outside lessons are featured in your book?

    Red

  • A very articulate explanation of a sometimes intimidating topic. Thanks!

  • Awesome lesson!

  • super lesson!

  • It's really great and easy to understand, even if not yet easy to play as you are;-)

    Txs a lot!

  • i'd just like to say how difficult it is to solo over one chord and keep it interesting. A testement to your playing, great lesson!

  • GREAT lesson series. I like how you also emphasize how important phrasing is for playing outside and what notes are on and off the beat. Great job! Thanks for all the amazing vids Jack!

  • Thanks for the tips...

  • great lesson!  I'm gonna study this one. It shows me a way to move from blues to jazz.
