Jazz Guitar Lesson: Scott Henderson Style Line

View tabs @ http://www.freeguitarvideos.com/LJ3/scott-henderson-free.html

Scott Henderson Style Lick by Guy Fenocchi is a free guitar lesson for jazz guitar. You will learn a line made from the compact C Melodic Minor scale that is very similar to the way Scott Henderson approaches chord sounds. Guy will first discuss the melodic minor scale and some general concepts and then teach you the line. Be sure to try this idea over similar chord sounds.

Well yeah, obviously. There were bananas before they were called bananas but to criticize someone for that would be fruitless (lol get it!?!?!?!).

[MUSICALCHIMP]

This scale did exist, but in terms of theory it's called jazz minor because when used in a classical sense it's different when ascending than descending.

This one is generally called Jazz Melodic Minor. In this the 6th and 7th scale degrees always stay natural.

[sumothecat]

In the classical application this is true. Ascending is Melodic Minor and descending is natural minor. Withe the Jazz or Improvisation you would leave it Melodic both Ascending and Descending, this way the tones will stay the same over the chord sound. otherwise you will have a conflict.

I was tought that melodic minor is played with natural 6 and 7 on the way down. Do they teach differently now?

The mel. minor scale came about many years ago because the singers at the time found the alternatives to difficult to sing, so they made the mel. minor.i think the key is in your ability to create tension and release at appropriate moments in a composition. For me this is learned by training your ear / mind manage intervalic relationships .. if you can understand what your mediant , sub mediant etc do within a composition both harm/melodic then scales become academic in my opinion.

[PlayHowYouFeel]

There are modes of the Melodic Minor Scale. They are all one note different from regular modes, since the melodic minor is Dorian Maj 7. Melodic Minor is considered a jazz scale because of it's 7th mode, which is also called the ALTERED scale. THis is used over altered 7th chords or whenever a dominant 7th is going to tonic (Tritone substitution). Just remember, never play the natural fifth when playing Dominant 7th chords unless you want to get yelled at by good jazz players! 1-3-7 all day!

One of my teachers at Ithaca College referred to them "the modes of the ascending melodic minor scale". Calling that family of scales "jazz" is a bit misleading. Get a copy of the Nicolas Slonimsky Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns if you can find it. That family of scales is there plus a whole lot more!
