Simplest explanation of an altered scale I’ve heard. Nice.

[peanutpeanut]

great lesson mate, getting closer to fully understanding the alt scale with this. The position you use relative to the straight 7th chord makes a lot of sense. Subbed.

Very useful video, Alex! Kind of where I'm stuck, i.e. the actual application of this sound. This will help me a ton. Thanks!

[brasilnopoder]

I play the pino but i'm enjoying u videos!

[mqblues]

Great lesson. It's often (at least for me, anyway) to encode altered lines into guitar and bass fingering applications -- the mind tries to reconfigure the new tensions into the old pentatonic and dorian slash blues lines. You have to retrain your mind -- fingering follows -- and not without a fight.

crystal clear teaching, happy that your wiewers nmbs raises up as well,

[cmacpan]

really great man no need to explain 8th notes. as you said if you're not ready for this come back later. your video was layman enough lol 😁. this was really nice

[hdeline]

awesome!!! thank god you put up tabs...and yes those lines sound way cooler fast great lesson

[rollinsmusicvideo]

Thank you for such perfectly clear lessons. Ive become a big fan of yours. I just shared a link to this on my facebook page to recommend you.Hope that's ok!?. All the best and please keep them coming, great stuff.

Nice stuff. Any chance you have a transcription of your opening solo?

[opiekundps]

3:03 Michael Brecker which track it is?From which album?

[downhill]

Interesting lessons here! Can you share your amp settings to get this sound?

[harrygordon]

Sorry to do this but the last three bars of your transcription are wrong! The notes should be G F E F A C E G F E Eb B Bb Ab G F E C...which means what you had in the red box is not actually the altered scale (but it's close to it)

[MrTroposphere]

Brill lesson, keep them coming, sub'd ;-)

[MC-fkvb]

What record does Michael Brecker play this solo on??
