After 'Being creative with a single scale', here's a next step. Now please read this: I know many will ask for TABS; I don't have them, because:
1) it's a lot of work!
2) don't try to copy, try to understand. I think the spoken explanations should be sufficient to understand what I am doing. Then listen to how it sounds and then try it yourself. If you really want to copy, just choose an interesting part, and do it by ear, that's very essential practice too.
You can download the backing from soundclick.com/ottenandharp
And of course, the principles explained in earlier videos are also used here, so check them out as well if you haven't already.

  • Thanks Matt, I finally understood how George Benson, yourself and others get that cool sound, with the passing chord-scale between these Dom7 chords

    I wonder if it works with other chord types...

  • Hi Chris, what strings are being used on this set up? thanks

  • @christez Hey Chris it helped me a lot, thank you very much

  • really gooood!

    what about a little track, a few minutes only these 4 chords to try playing a litle bit longer...

    thanks

  • too fast too understand just 2 advance 4 me.he he,Could u slow down

  • Good Lesson

    Whats scales is it ure using ??

  • Dear shrimp: I don't really remember what I had written about, maybe it was "playing outside".In that case what is played between

    C7 and Bb is "B" which is a half step in each

    direction. That's the best I can recall.

    I can say for sure that Matt is a fine player

    and I listen when I get a chance. Thanks to his examples on the videos, I'm sure many of

    us are making fine progress and what seemed

    to be a big problem a year ago seems rather

    small now.

    Keep on pickin'..
