Scott of the best teacher ever! He taught me back in New Jersey. Miss you buddy

Insane player, teacher and dripping with modern concepts. Gold mine of knowledge. What a find!

Simply beautiful I'm learning jazz fusion chord melody I'm developing a good ear for chords learning quite a lot from you. 😊

You play really well very humble too.

Awesome!!

Thank you Luca Aletto: Please have a look at the Slonimsky video for a bit of the scales and I will do more of that as well.

I can see you get great joy from playing such beautiful chord work, you must have just as much fun as when you're soloing

Such an amazing tutorial, it opens up gates for those who yearn to play jazz/fusion beautifully. Great Job, keep on, you're extremely helpful!

Brilliant and underrated musician and educator. I was privileged to interview him on my radio show "Fusion and Fire" on WRFG Atlanta in 2001 when the Addition by Subtraction project with Manring and Stevens came out. That recording still blows me away.

This and the 2nd of these videos on playing chords has been very inspiring. I've just been and am going through some difficult life changes and decisions. Your examples and ideas have helped me make a decision to get back to writing music. A major slump has affected me as of late. I've worked with a lot of great material such as Gil Goldstein's Jazz Composer's Companion, Beyond Functional Harmony by Wayne Naus, and many other fine volumes in my personal music library. Also studied with some great arrangers, composers and musical directors in the past. I'm not in a position to be able to take lessons by Skype at the moment. Hopefully that will change in the not too distant future. Thanks so much for your videos Scott; I'll be subscribing and watching your other videos on this channel. God bless.... :0)

Beautiful stuff. Some of it reminds me of some old genesis. Great lesson!

Love your music sir

Topp guitarist!!!

this is awesome! exactly what i need to get out of this guitar playing rut subscribed!

Thanks Scott for the great lesson!

Great lesson from an amazing teacher ! Nice one Scott.

Why do all fusion guitars have the tuning keys upside down ? Are all fusion guitarists left handed or it's just the way fusion guitars are made ?

Many thanks Proverbs11vs30!

For minor chords, would you play nat 6th, similar to #4 replacing nat 4 for major?

Is that the same Brian Moore series as Brett Garsed? I love those!

Wow,,Percy Jones...Now that's a name i haven't heard in a while...

if using these jazz fusion type of progression like what you show in the video to create something, How does this progression related to the main key or just atonal? thanks

Hi!!!!! Could you please suggest me, How to start with from Novice beginner......

Hi Im from Poland and I use google translator ,I hope You understand me :) In which scale we play it is dependent on the chord in accompaniment,right? So how can I play in one selected scale when changing chord in progression I automatically change mood / scale? How it looks chord progression for each scales? For example,playing chords C major and G7 in which scale will be solo: c,d,e,d,f?Ionic or mixolydian? Ionian with Cmaj and mixolydian with G7 ,right? So how can I play in one selected scale for two different chords in progression? Could You give an example of progression characteristic for one selected scale and explain how to play solo in mood of this one selected scale if chords in accompaniment are changing? I tell You how I see it (D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D) together with Dm= dorian mood,right? (D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D) with Dm7 will be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 of dorian degrees but when I change/replace Dm on G7 then (D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D) become 5,6,7,1,2,3,4 mixolydian degrees . Even if I play mixolydian shape (g,a,b,c,d,e,f,g) with Dm chord it is still dorian mood because (g,a,b,c,d,e,f,g) are 4,5,6,7,1,2,3 dorian degrees Right or not? When I started to learn music ,I focus on chords ,scales and created nasty habit in this way - habit of mindless playing scales instead of music. How to get rid of it? Besides there is something more No one taught me how to compose in different music generes I would like to know how to arrange accompaniment which is based on a simple C major chord,once will be flamenco then the country, funk,bossa etc etc The same chord, harmony is the same, the same notes but different genres - how to do it for jumping between different styles? Could You recommend some good literature for learning? I would like to have Dr. Michael Chamberlin seminar notes from ORIGINAL PRESENTATION - World Saxophone Congress, 2015 Strasbourg France Do You have it?Could You help me with get this pdf?
