  • The legendary guitarist John Macey used to teach this concept 20 years ago. Both John and Vic both studied with Harry Leahey. Harry Leahey was regarded as the guru of jazz guitar. He taught and influenced many of the top jazz guys playing today, vic being one of them.

  • Cool Man!!! thanks for the info

  • i love this cat

  • The whole pentatonic suspended superimposition thing really goes back to Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, and their friends in the 60's...

  • johnnyguitarcarson: There is no such chord as an A min alt. It is an A7 altered. The full scale is A Bb C Db Eb F G A those being 1 b2 b3 3 #4or b5, #5 or b6, b7 and 8

    Root, flat nine, raised nine, third, augmented 4th(sharp 11) or flatted 5th, augmented fifth or flatted 6th, flatted 7th and the octave. Called the diminished/whole tone scale derived the 7th degree of the melodic minor.

    The pentatonic merely plays part of this scale.

    An altered chord implies b5, #5, b9, and #9.

  • This is really functional and simple to understand, thanks.

  • It is not all math laruenickelson

  • @johnnyguitarcarson It's actually an A7 alt sound that he is playing the c minor pentatonic over---so the eb is fine.

  • I have been following Juris' work with Dave Liebman. and it is simply great! I'm glad to see that he is such a generous teacher as well. Thank you for posting!

  • that Eb sounds wrong with the Amin altered 7 (it creates a flat5, the form should be Cmaj because it wants to go back to the Amin.

    Nothings perfect all the time , and I love your playing Vic

    Peace Brother

  • All of his books are amazing!!!

  • "You couldn't do this drunk!' Brilliant!!!! Most of us can't even do it sober :-)
