I share my personal rules for scale selection and demonstrate how they can be applied to enhance your playing, using examples from the tune "All of Me".

Loved this. Very helpful indeed. The scope of your videos is always spot on. Thanks!
Thank you very much
This helps and the way you make it simple by using the target chord for scale choice makes so much sense. I'll be using the harmonic minor scale a lot more now. Thanks for your help.
My pleasure! I'm so pleased it helped you.
Very nice breakdown. Got to revisit this tune. Awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you very much! It's a good one to revisit for sure.
Excellent lesson Shan! I guess because I’m in Developing Fluency for the most part I havn’t seen this lesson…very useful! I have struggled with this in the past so this helps me!
Very helpful. As stated in the video- it ‘doesn’t drown with information’. It’s targeted & logical. A big plus: the examples are not overly ‘flashy.’ So often, instructors give a few rules; and then, when they play an example, they play a virtuoso performance that obscures the material.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you and I wish you the best with your playing.
If you are getting started, taking this approach, looking at the functions and what’s the scale to start with takes a lot of the noise away. I know I need the training wheels on, lots of choices for sure but I’m a confirmed convert to get really good at the fundamentals, don’t chase all the possibilities and end up getting nowhere. Thanks Shan.
Thank you Paul. Well said!
So good, and so helpful. I’ve been embarrassed for years at how bad I would sound when soloing on this tune. I feel like this has “cracked the code” for me. Thank you, Shan!
perfect short cut method! thankx
Thank you! Your explanations are so clear, and I find your videos very helpful.
the A harmonic minor starting on E is a very flamenco/gypsy music sound!
Thank you,Maestro Shan🌹⭐🌹
FINALLY some stuff about dominants...
next the movement please!
Although I studied the use of harmonic minor and the modes of melodic minor for use over dominant chords for years, I really have found it easier (and more melodically interesting) to simplify it by mainly using the two important minor6 substitutions over dominants. So for a G7 going to C major, I think “the minor 6th a whole step below G“. and going to a minor C I think “the minor 6th a half step above G“.
And of course the 6hDim scales for each.
Nice video as usual. I know Barry’s chromatic descending rules for the dominant major scale but could you explain how to apply chromatic rules when using the fifth degree of harmonic minor. I wonder if Barry has all so descending chromatic rule for this scale. Ty again for this very useful content.
