damn stylish. as a beginning bebop player, i've been trepidatious of pentatonics because, for me, I end up finger-flapping all over the neck tastelessly. with tight bebop and chromatic lines, you have to remain focused on downbeats and leading tones etc, and that helps me create discerning phrases. but you've opened my ears and mind to applying pentatonics and exploring their possibilities. its all coming together with what ive done with triad pairs and arps etc. great stuff, very exciting.

It sounds like the neck pickup with the tone control rolled all the way back and lots of reverb and delay. It's funny...if you study quartal, quintal, suspended, and pentatonic approaches long enough, you find that they all overlap. Once you know those and all of the triads, seventh chords, and intervals from the diminshed and augmented scales, you really start sounding like 70's modern jazz.
