Thank you. You are great with Blues too.

Great stuff. Thanks Dave.

Dave always reminds me of the laid-back "Del Preston" roadie character in Wayne's World 2.

Top info!

@Podarias Yes.Dominant means b7 and major 3

hey i download some of his lessons from Guitar Techniques mag - great stuff!

All very interesting yeah,:)

I think it can just be called D harmonic minor in this case. It's all related to the key of D minor. It's kinda like a D minor blues. Yes, A Phrygian Dominant and D Harmonic Minor are the same, but as far as analyzing goes, it's all in the key of D minor, and you raise the flat 7th by a half step on the V chord.

@MikleShnikle Thanks. : )

I just set all of my equipment on fire

prjctcivillian. the chords are Dm, Gm7 and A7

@blahdelablah very well put man, bang on :D

@fukinblowme I was merely pointing out the example of playing over a jazz standard. If someone tries to play over giant steps, without knowing any scales, they will sound bad, Scales and arpeggios ENABLE you to create lyrical and interesting melodies. As I said, players who can learn all their theory and internalize it to a point of not having think about it are truly incredible and can create any melody they hear in their head. To me that's the idea. Having total control over your instrument.

@thesethreekings Ah, ah, ah :) Yeah... excellent! ;)

is he really lennys brother?? i never thought about it!

is phrygian dominant the same as phrygian major?

@thesethreekings melodic & harmonic theory is a well as deep as you want it to be

Actually, If you notice, He's using the A Phrygian as an ascending arpeggio on the 6th staccat...as you can obviously tell, I sadly don't know crap about music theory :(

what are those chords?

Wow what knowledge.

Saw people bashing him on here on his "Comfortably Numb" solo with Roger Waters...well, yes, he's not Dave Gilmour, but I liked his solo. He played with his heart, his soul, like Dave Gilmour. I like his style.

@svidrigajlov It's D harmonic minor over the A7. Just D minor over the Dminor chord, as well as over the Gm, only with some Gm arpeggios here and there.

This guy should audition for Spinal Tap already.

Why the hell does he look like Lemmy?

Is that rick graham i spot in the beginning?

oh yeah... I heard latin in there....

Is it an Anderson Cobra Special?

hey folks, click on that NobbyMacNob guys sn! His account is closed! hmmmmmmmmmm wonder why! :-)

@fukinblowme I teach that stuff at school.

@aligatorsandwitch72 Look at his last name.

@NobbyMacNob does homosexuality run in your family? Or do you choose it on your own? I'm not Tim Halcomb, but I will tell you this. He is one awesome musician and you can't do anything to stop that!

@fukinblowme "It's so much harder to get more out of one note and pour your heart and soul into it or play a lyrical melody than it is to cram scales into measures." Same old tired cliches. In truth, the most important part of becoming a musician is training your ears. Phrasing/feel comes out of an advanced understanding of rhythm. Scales are tools designed to help make sense of harmony. Rhythm, harmony and melody are all important, if you focus on one, you miss the bigger picture.

Anybody who plays A phygian dominant rather than just D harmonic minor over the A7 is making life very difficult for themselves for no reason.

@fukinblowme so what would you do when you come to improvise over a jazz standard that or a piece that modulates frequently? Just wing it? good luck. Scales give you the option to access a certain sound at any time. The truly remarkable guitarists in the world know scales that well that they don't HAVE to think about them, they just know them inside out. Go listen to some James Muller, Allen Hinds, Robben Ford and Larry Carlton then say guys who know theory have no soul/tone or melody.

is he playing A harmonic minor over a Dm chord? sorry but I just cant get it, audio is not that good, i know the scale hes playing but i dont know its name.

@ryancrl While Dave is bright in general, this is not anything special. Basic stuff. Especially if you're into oriental music, where this scale is called Hijaz, or in Flamenco this is so frequently used
