When I’m playing a minor jazz blues I’ll sometimes move up a minor third or a tritone and use a minor scale based on these. Usually it’s a short phrase for a couple of beats or a full measure. Let’s say A minor blues with a measure of C Dorian or Eb Dorian or possibly both.
Super video , thankyou Ben , Both great lines lol , more edgy tension on the outside fm scale over the em chord , it’s my favourite scale to move it up a # sometimes I even use f#m or even g#m
Correct me if I am wrong, but I've noticed something interesting with the way you do your lead lines. Do you prefer to lead with your pinky more often than starting your runs with the index finger?
Hi Ben, this is my question: as I see in every instructional material on outside playing that every example is made through a fast phrasing, I'd like to ask you if for playing outside, high speed phrasing is needed. Is it possibile to play out melodically? Thank you. Mauro
Thanks Mauro, that's a great question! You can also play slower phrases that are "outside" of the harmony, it's definitely an effective way of creating tension as well!
Nice video… so the 3rd example was really just the second half of of the 1st example right? First example was half step lower and 2nd was half step higher?
Finally a vid on your secret sauce 🔥 killin', defs one of my favourite outside players! Shoutouts to the "arc is enough" 55 bar solo. Exercise for the viewer: see if you can spot where all the tensions and releases are on that one 😂

Thanks for sharing David, those are great approaches!
Mate, you have the best speaking voice on RUclips. Rep the educated Aussie accent. Classy
I really appreciate it, thanks so much for watching!
Probably the best explanation I've seen of how to play outside. Really detailed examples Ben, thanks for this
So glad you liked it!
Great video, Ben we all appreciate this important concept of harmonic tensions
Thank you so much!

I would say that is often the case! Great observation

Thanks for watching - all three examples feature a version of 1 half-step above
Tension and release! Love it!
