Modern Fusion Lick - Using the "wrong" scale!

  • 7 years ago
http://masterguitaracademy.com Hey, this is a cool trick. I am using 2 different scales over the C7 chord. First, I use the C Lydian Dominant scale. Then I play the "wrong" scale - Bb Minor Pentatonic (still over C7) but it sounds cool! Why is that? Well, it's because the minor pentatonic one whole-step below has notes the fit into the C7Altered, which is a common chord to use in the last bar before you go to the IV chord (Eb7 in this case). Capische?

Any time you have a Dominant 7 chord (I chord) and you are approaching the IV chord next, go down a whole-step and play the minor pentatonic, and resolve to chord tones for the IV chord, and you're good! Cool ay? I learned this trick from Scott Henderson.

If you want TAB and the mp3 backing track, join my website MGA, where I have all my work. You will also get Interactive TAB (Soundslice), which makes it really easy to learn. I have hundreds of lessons available on the inside of MGA - http://masterguitaracademy.com
