Spicy Licks is back!
It’s been far too long since I made one of these so here we are with a brand new episode of Spicy Licks.
If you’re new here, this is a series on my channel where I take a lick that I have either written myself or learned from another player, I teach you it with TAB & notation on screen and after that I break down the theory behind it.
The reason for the last part is so that if you have an understanding of the fundamentals of music theory, you should be able to take that information and apply it to your own playing to come up with ideas of your own all across the fretboard and in multiple keys.
Today’s Spicy Lick is one I learned from an up and coming player from Italy whose name is Matteo Mancuso. Here are a few links to Matteo’s videos on KZfaq:
Room 335 (Larry Carlton) - • Room 335 (Larry Carlto...
Blues Shuffle in G (the solo featured in this lesson!) - • Matteo Mancuso - Blues...
Matteo’s lick is played over the turnaround in a 12 bar blues and it’s centered around a very unusual arpeggio that creates an interesting ‘outside’ sound that is quickly resolved when the progression repeats and you’re back to the I chord.
I hadn’t come across any licks that use this strange arpeggio before I heard Matteo’s solo. I’m familiar with more common outside sounds you can use in blues playing like the half-whole diminished and whole-tone scales but this lick had me stumped initially.
As I mention in the video, I’ve come up with my own way of conceptualizing it but if anyone watching feels they have a better idea of what it is and where it comes from, please do let me know by leaving a comment below and I’ll be very interested to hear your thoughts!
The bonus content for this lesson - available exclusively to members of bulletproofguitarplayer.com - includes a video of the solo with the TAB & notation overlaid (Guitar Pro & PDF files are available for download), a backing track video and downloadable WAV file, and FOUR bonus licks that use the same arpeggio with TAB files.

If anyone is struggling with this lick and it’s timing, it really helps to think of it in 3 distinct parts. The first two parts are self explanatory, but the third part is very fluid, where timing/phrasing are essential. Try to isolate that third part, practice it and you will find that the lick goes from tough to very doable. Just my two cents. Great lick, great lesson once again Ross.

Hi! It's often used a Maj7 arpeggio from the b7 of a dominant in jazz, wes montgomery was using that a lot, and often using the upbeat halfnote, triplet trick, when you rise half tone the 5, so #5 you make sure there is no friction with the chord tones of the dominant, specifically with the third. Great video by the way! 🤟

@BobShields Ай бұрын

The line in question comes from the G Lydian dominant scale. It is one of many typical choices played on dominant chords in a jazz setting. You are correct in that Wes used this, and the major 7#5 shape captures the #11 of the Lysian Dominant sound. Bill Evans used these shapes (dominant equivalents) throughout his playing. There are many more types of shapes used on dominants as well.

I remember checking out Robben Ford's similar lines in Misdirected Blues. Other players have done similar things since, but I didn't realise until later they're all 'double speeded' vs the rest of the playing, so less likely you'll have the chops to suddenly double speed like they do, *but* the lines still work well at 1/2 speed, so you can still play them in a tune, and as you get used to the fingerings, you can start to double speed them too.

I can definitely use this lick! What a cool use of the maj7#5 arpeggio! What appears to be happening is he's treating the D7 like it's a DmM7 for a moment as Fmaj7+5 is from the third mode of Melodic Minor. I'd search for information re superimposing Melodic Minor on the V7. I personally like the sound of a Bm7b5, B Locrian Pentatonic, in addition to D Melodic Minor and the DmM7 arpeggio.

An easier way to view the ending lick (and the way I think Matteo views it) is as the familiar outside trick to play something out of key one fret below or above, in this case the commonly used augmented five chord arpeggio lowered one fret to get that outside sound.

Great lick Ross! I use that position of the blues scale quite a a lot. And I think your harmonic analysis is spot on! That last lick is based on the D melodic minor scale, or you can call it G Lydian flat 7, very nice sounding scale on dominant chords. Anyway cheers! Thanks a lot🙏

in blues and jazz it's commonly used to approach chords from half step below or above. if you consider those 4 out sounding notes ( F#, F natural,A and C#) as part of some F sharp chord approaching the G it might be that he is using a F#- maj7 kind of sound. after all any F# chord can be used for approach a G as far as you like the sound of it

It’s clear the lick is played through the last 2 bars as if both bars are G7 regardless that the last bar moves to D7, the ear accepts it as not clashing because it is harmonically clear and rhythmically executed, apart from the use of the blues scale in part the extension notes which gives the lick its flavour and lift are outlining a G13#11 chord

Thanks! Good question. I'm trying to figure out a good way of teaching that. I've been practicing blues improv solidly for the past 14 months or so and it's mostly consisted of learning solos from other players and then attempting to improvise over backing tracks on my own. It all feels like it's really fallen into place within the past 4-6 months or so. Meaning I now feel very confident that I'll land on a nice chord tone whenever those changes happen. I'm trying to figure out a method for teaching that at the minute so watch this space. There might be a blues improv course on the horizon.

The scale that naturally comes to my ear/fingers when playing that augmented chord is the D melodic minor scale. So I'm hearing it as him playing a D melodic minor over the V chord. Usually you see the D altered scale there which would give that Augmented triad where we expect it. It sounds weird but the augmented triad works for me when I think D melodic minor.

@simon0770 3 жыл бұрын

Or...the G Lydian Dominant scale, (the fourth mode of the D melodic minor scale), if we're considering the key of 'G'. Same notes, just thinking modally. Very common to play this scale over dominant chords in jazz (Miles' "Kind of Blue").In this sense, the Fmaj7 #5 arpeggio is just an arrangement of notes tucked in the G lydian dominant scale. That helps me get my head around it, anyway.

That's an interesting use of the augmented triad for sure. However, I think the easiest explanation for why it works is to look at the aug. triad F-A-C# being a part of the G lydian dominant scale.

The beauty of music theory is that it is open to so much interpretation! How about this is just: F# ,F, A - so major 3, minor 3, 5th (common juxtaposition of major and minor thirds in blues) followed by C#, E, D (common jazz enclosure to resolve to root). You can look at it in a million ways, but that seems simple and it makes sense???? The idea of a Ma7#5 built on a b7 of the 1 chord but played over the 5 chord, seems a bit convoluted??
