Guitar Lesson: John Scofield Style Lick

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

John Scofield Style Lick is a free jazz guitar video lesson by Guy Fenocchi. We will take a look at the half step whole step scale which is one approach that John Scofield uses over dominant type chords. Symetrical scales are tricky to work into melodic ideas so you'll need to spend some time working with this concept.

these eerie and mysterious sounding scales always fascinated me more than the traditional ones.

if john scofield plays alot like that then i'm def gonna check him out. thanks.

I'll field this one. The scale would be half step whole step if you start from the root note of the chord. Starting from the third of the chord means you're already up to the fourth note of the scale. I probably just would've replaced the word "form" he uses with "pattern." Everything he said and played was correct though. The whole step half step scale incorporates all the chord tones of a dominant type chord.

@xMHM2010 i know. ;-) 'scuse the subjective / objective confusion on my part. :o)

[xMHM2010]

@TadRapidly thats a matter of taste. Personally, i think scofield's phrasing and lines are genius, absolutely second to none. Its a matter of opinion.

Bravo Finocchio!

@wachman Honestly he doesn't use them as much as this dude makes it sound, but you should check him out anyways haha. He's a legend

[TadRapidly]

Scofield obviously has skill but his lines don't sound very good. martino, benson, metheny, all their lines sound good, scofield's don't. I don't know why. They just don't.

could this scale work over just a regular d7??
