Welcome to the new video course!

Please note:

I have split the new course into Volumes 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 pdfs – download everything!!

NO Music Notation reading required.

Vol. 2: Interval studies-4th sequences, pentatonic based lines and more. In volume 2 I hone in on some very specific building blocks. To create some contrast from stepwise scalar lines a great resource can be using larger intervals -and 4ths in particular have a wonderful modern sound-especially when combined with full range low to high or high to low practice concepts.

In this Vol. 2, I take a specific interval – the 4th and work this through Dorian and Lydian modes.

Analysis of a line I use in the video-that G minor lick.

Next we look at applying interval sequences to a minor pentatonic -using both 4ths and a major 3rd.

This gives you a perfect foundation for then playing the great little lick I use over the G minor I chord (such as in Autumn Leaves)

I explain WHY this works and then show you the note I ADD from a different mode ( the Dorian) to give this lick it’s VERY distinctive sound!

I demonstrate the 4th sequence idea also from root to root of the mode, but next up is a full range example- more challenging and specifically geared towards strengthening your knowledge of the fingerboard from the lowest to highest available note.

I also reveal my thought process on how and why I am shifting at specific points on the neck, and the concept behind this.

I also go through this with the Lydian mode-using 4ths.

Check out Stanley Clarke’s brilliant use of 4ths (and the Lydian mode) during his solo on his composition “Song to John Part 2” from his iconic ‘Journey to Love” record. Note: I actually break down a couple of ideas in his solo on my YouTube channel – give it a watch too!

I also look at Interval sequences (using 4ths) over Dorian, and Lydian

Another variation -in the video- try moving from D minor into Eb minor keeping those ascending or descending 4th sequences moving continuously…

Bonus D minor Dorian based lick. Another very cool line for you to practice.
In part 4 I also look at full range exercises using a specific mode and also a bonus slick- a D minor based sequential line using sequences of 4ths and a major 3rd-borrowing from both pentatonic and Dorian.

I play these at fast and slow tempos-so you can practice these by playing along with me.
