Fantastic. Thank you ! For some reason, when you were going through these diminished slash chords, Vision is a Naked Sword came to mind from Apocalypse , using similar chord structures in the beginning with horns and strings added to create tension....and very successful at it, as one feels relieved when part 1 transitions to part 2 of the song.
Well done explaining all this.

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks mate, Yeah, I agree. They're lovely chords and highly original sounding still today. John's known as a great guitarist, but, I also feel that he is a really inventive composer too👍.

[@jimdep6542]

@@CliffordMartinOnline Absolutely.

Yor material inspired me to a fusion of hindu,villa lobos and myself,a liitle bit atonal.the key is bepop and django.
Thank you,Cliff.I have much to too the next years!
Special Thank! Paco.

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks Paco, really appreciated, I'm glad these videos have been of use. Yes, I agree, the key is to mix together different styles/concepts that you like and create your own unique style. 👍

Magnifique leçon !❤

Merci Pascal!👍

[@JasonMarco]

So thankful for your videos. I have been such a fan of Mclaughlin’s use of harmony as you have taught here. Learning so much here. I’d be interested on a video how you create your “Shakti” style backing tracks

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Thanks Jason, much appreciated! 👍

There are no special jazz scales or jazz chords at all - it's all ancient, well-known stuff from church music and classical music, only it was used differently there or used in a pointed way! Popular music including jazz is more based on special rhytm/metrics (patterns), that`s the main difference.

[@CliffordMartinOnline]

Hi, yeah, rhythm/syncopation/anticipation makes all the difference. But, there are chords from scales e,g melodic minor and more synthetic scales like diminished which can be exploited and made more interesting with "Slash" chords.. Also lots of ambiguous harmony works well with "Slash" chords and also for re-harmonising. And then yes I agree, It is then the art of the improviser to create rhythmical musical phrasing from this 👍.
