Soloing Concepts Vol. One

Welcome to the new video course !

Please note:
I have split the new course into Vol 1 and 2, and EACH of those volumes has two videos to download. This means the file sizes are more manageable to download. You get two video files and two PDF’s – download everything!

NO Music Notation reading required.

Why do this? Because it makes for smaller, more manageable downloads and this way if you then want to watch these on a phone or iPad (after you download them onto a computer first) it makes it much easier.

Vol 1

In volume 1, I discuss analyzing a chord progression-such as the one found in Autumn Leaves, and then give you a breakdown of the various scales or modes I recommend trying over the chords presented here. The vocabulary I show you is exactly what great players like Mike Stern, Cannonball Adderley and Jaco Pastorius used on the many classic recordings they have made. Jaco on Donna Lee for instance, used a great deal of half whole diminished ideas over the V7 chords there…yet far too few bassists make use of this incredible sounding scale in their solos.

I also take you through WHY the HW Diminished scale is a better choice than say only using mixolydian.

You’ll find discussions on specific choice modes from Harmonic Minor AND Harmonic Major ( in particular the 2nd mode, the Dorian b5) and of course (!) the Melodic Minor. I show you where I use the Locrian #2 and Altered Scale in particular. Plus some great ways to practice connecting different scale/modes from II chords into V chords.

Also note by note explanations in the PDF of the modes I discuss in the video.

You will get the following files:
