This has to be the best video in the entire series. To see the extensions highlighted in the context of each scale over each chord in a progression is like pulling back the curtain on the magical secret of improvisation. The slow motion solos in each chord are immensely helpful. Then to hear them played at tempo they become an interesting and engaging melody expressing the essence of the chord while being utterly unique and musical. Thanks once again to Richie. This really hits it out of the park!
Great as usual. I'd really like to sit down with you sometime, so if you're ever going to be in Hackensack, let me know and I'll fly out to meet you...
If you can...definitely! Try to play them through the cycle of 5ths in a couple of positions. Relative to this, I will be posting a final tip on the importance of fingerings.
Just remember, If you use it on the II-7 it will end up sounding like a V7 because of the tritone and the II- will loose its characteristic sound.It works better in a modal context or when the chord is not part of a II-V....
