What Robben Ford plays on the Altered Dominant chord in "Help The Poor" is simply magical. He uses the Altered Scale to great effect in this solo. In this video, I'll show you the Altered Scale, explain the theory behind it, and demonstrate some licks using the scale that you can incorporate immediately into your playing.

Hello Andy, I just discovered your channel. Great videos in various style which you master. Lucky person ! If you like challenges to transcribe and play an amazing solo (IMO) check Andy Timmons and the Paw Kings : Loosen up. It is testy, powerful, and harmonically surprising.. I'm sur I'll love it. Thank you any way for the great work. Hibou

Sure that's a good idea. I'll do this moving forward. I am playing a 1990 Gibson ES-335, and I use the Line 6 Helix for the tones. I am glad that you are enjoying my content Thanks

@bluesdawg8014 11 месяцев назад

Yeah buddy, sweet Los Angeles

@Bflatest 6 месяцев назад

one thing I learned was to make this mode sound great you need to play it more like triads and not just scale lines. So I am learning this mode as 7 triads

@AndyDacoulis 6 месяцев назад

I agree. Scales tell part of the story but the arpeggio and lines give you the sound of the mode instantly. Good observation.

@jakollee Год назад

Great lesson! Very clear explanation of the altered scale over the altered V chord! But may I ask, what scale are you playing over the Bb7 chord towards the end of the progression, and on the bridge? Thanks!

@AndyDacoulis Год назад

Hello - that is the Lydian Dominant scale. It's the 4th mode of the melodic minor scale.

@jakollee Год назад

@@AndyDacoulis thanks!

@Guitarslngr Год назад

@kenster3554 Месяц назад

The symmetrical augmented arpeggio (A-C#-E#) comes right out of the diminished whole tone scale. Not all the notes of a true whole scale starting from A are “compatible”, but there are no wrong notes, merely poor approaches and/or poor resolutions. It’s easy to make it all work.

@orion777ben Год назад

Hi Andy. You were kind to answer yesterday. Your sound is so nice, so before blowing money I'd like to be sure about your rig. I believe you have a Strat wired to the Helix which goes straight to your computer where you record. Is this correct? Since you don't have headphones, you are probably listening to your computer speakers for monitoring purposes, but we hear the directly recorded sound, which is probably better. Are both these statements correct? Thank you and keep up the good work.

@AndyDacoulis Год назад

Yes, you are 100% correct. I plug the guitar into the Helix, then into my interface. I use the studio speakers to hear my guitar and the backing track. You hear the recorded sound in the video, If you don't want to buy the Helix, you can use their plug-in, Helix Native. It works well.

@dannychoriki1977 7 месяцев назад

I absolutely LOATHE that half the community just says "Super Locrian, 7th mode of the Melodic Minor scale." And the other half just says some vague "A altered scale" Which really means B melodic minor or A super locrian, so misleading, for literally no reason. You sound great, but hot damn I do not know why people do this!

@Ogukuo 4 месяца назад

you call out the Bb Melodic Minor = Bb-C-Db-Eb-F-Gb-A ... you’re playing Bb-C-Db-Eb-F-G-A ... is that a preference because Robben does it from the A ... so he resolves to the A ... and its just better to go G-A ... ?

$15 for 8 bars???

@AndyDacoulis 10 месяцев назад

8 bars? The transcribed solo is 25 bars. These 25 bars represent a lot of time, effort, and money invested to play this style of music over 20+ years. My goal now is to share this knowledge with people trying to learn it themselves through my RU-vid tutorials. If the $15 is an issue, I will gladly send it to you free of charge. Just contact me through the CONTACT page on my website and I will send it to you.
