I'm glad you noticed that...scales practiced in its proper form is boring. As you see I play around the scale, still learning the sound of the notes, the fingering and having fun at the same time ;)

am I only one that knows thats not a c major scale (our a scale at all he is playing) maybe an improvsition but not a scale.

I cover the C major scale in this video..the idea here is to show how you can make playing scales fun. Most musicians can't play scales because it bores them..I make it fun with different inversions of the scale

Hey, I was able to immitate what you played. but my issue is the application on other scales/melodies. I have been using only simple triads for 10yrs now, I still cannot exhaust diminished and aug. chords. What do you advise?

[Soundofjoy]

how many songs do you know? I use chords and progressions from any music I've heard and learned for the past 37 years and not all gospel. When you know the melody then you can add the dinished and augmentment chords in support of the melody line. it takes time but is learnable

First I try to play a song in the key of "C", then I transpose to other keys. C is the easiest key for me. You have a course for people learning to play by ear. How do I get started.

At 0:33 he plays harmonic C minor scale.

It's a C scale too, but you've got that right: it's not a "C major scale". ;)

I love watching your fingers' movements? How do you play swung scales and what is it, by the way...
