Truly great lesson in every way. I've sat through long, boring videos that hurt my brain and I came away with nothing. This was short, easy to understand and I sat down with my guitar and played what I'd learned straight away. Perfect. 👏
The backing track chordally is john scofields song"hottentot". I love the song and do like your approach towards the concept of outside playing. Explained it in a way easy to grab hold of...thx❤
I really need help with this, I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while but I’m definitely going to experiment with this I understand what you’re sharing here thank you
Hi Daniel, You can slow it down in the youtube-app. That's what I can think of now, but since it's a popular video I might make another one. Thanks, John
Thank you John. One other thing that would be helpful would be if you named all of the notes in the riff. You give the names of the first four notes but that’s all. For some reason, I’m not really getting or following the major third interval thing or something. I’m pretty close to working it out by ear. Thanks again.
I learned it that way at the conservatory here in Amsterdam. Most of the time the b10 resolves down and #9 implies upwards, but in this case being it's a static chord it can be either way probably. Thanks, John
W.A. Mathieu spells it that way also because of the acoustic origins; it’s simpler to conceptualize (and tune) as a scale with both a major and a minor third [5/4 and 6/5-although you can conceive the minor third in a blues as the natural seventh of the subdominant or 7/6]. The sharp nine of C# in Bb is very far away acoustically, probably the closest path is up a 3rd to D, up a 5th to A, then up another (major) 3rd to C# = 45/32
Depends on the situation. In this case both are possible and alt might be even better here. That’s how I was taught at Amsterdam’s conservatory. Thanks!
@@JohnFKlaver Yea, never heard of a Dom 7 b10 chord ever talked about or used in any situation in school, in any chart I've read, or at any gig I've played for the last 30 years. Outside of Amsterdam, no one is going to know what you are talking about if you throw up a chart with that chord.
In British and American discussion, it would be a 7#9 chord. Because the 9 can be altered by being flattened or sharpened, like the 5, when we are discussing an altered dominant chord. But hey - it's just words.
Had to think what is he talking about i never heard of a flat 10 in my life then i figured it out is a B flat aug9 or also called a B flat sharp 9 I have no idea why you call this a flat 10
What the heck is a flat 10?! I knew of sharp 9s, which if played along a major 3rd contribute to the altered sound, but if you have a 'flat 10' (which is a flat 3rd) really then you'd have a minor chord, period. The names of the intervals matter. If you get it so blatantly wrong it might make people think you don't know what you're doing.
I already explained it somewhere in the comments. In short it has to do with how notes resolve which makes sense if you think of it in that way. Anyhow don’t worry about my musictheory. Thanks.
Usually 10th and 12th is synonymous with 3rd and 5th respectively in tertian chord stacking. But sometimes, especially in modern jazz and European concert, you’ll see things like b12 when the chord being spelled it more reliant on the actual intervals. That being said, “b10” is not correct here and should be referred to as a #9.
Flat 10 ??? Why not just call it what it actually is ! Bb 7 sharp 9 or Bb7#9 Why make things more complicated than they really are ! Otherwise a great lesson !
@@JohnFKlaver Function..........................................!!! ??? It's a definition ! You're talking about a lowered third in the next octave which is really just a flat 9th since there are no other 9's in the chord. Who use 10's anyway ! Music consist of the following intervals : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13 There's no eights, tens, twelve's, fourteen's, fifth-teen's etc etc. It's a confusing terminology to use tens !
@@johansvenson4297 no, its function in the musical context, so sometimes it’s sharp 9 but most of the times it’s flat 10. By the way, the flat 9 is Cb which is not the lowered third in the next octave like you say. Anyway, there’re more roads that lead to …… Thanks for commenting.

¡Muy bien explicado, tío! Saludos desde Madrid.
2 years old and the best lesson I’ve seen on YT. THANKS!
Thank you! Indeed two years, I forgot all about it ;-)
Don’t be too hard on yourself - if you’re only 2 years old, you haven’t had much time to look around.
Wish I started that young. Keep it up!
Keep up the good work. You'll be shredding by age 4!
Nice lesson, easy to follow. Has a very Coltrane-ish sound. I'll be digging into it!
one of the best outside lesson ever
Ya killer lesson you make it easy to digest thank you good man sharing that God bless
Outstanding 💥👏….simple, powerful and fresh ….thank you so much 💙🙏
Great work! 🤟🤠🤟
Thanks!
Great lesson. Working on it right now
good lesson. we don't say b10 we say #9 ie the hendrix chord 7#9
This really does sound good!
Very clear explanation. I love your Jtc videos!
Thank you!
@@JohnFKlaver sounds great. Does this work over a Bb major 7 vamp? You are using that B7
@@sat1241 It could when you adapt licks to the maj7 sound.
Wonderful lesson....!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Die benadering kende ik nog niet. Ga het meteen proberen. bedankt John!
Wow. Great explanations that I can actually comprehend.
Just what i was looking for
Thankyou maestro

Very very cool video. Thanks
Thank you, best explanation for playing outside I’ve ever seen. Liked and subscribed. Thank you !
Thank you Michael, appreciate it!
Wonderful lesson!
Sooooo goooood
That’s awesome. Thanks bro.
Nice concept and great (half)diminished sounding
Nice A Go Go backing track.
tnxs a lot!!! 👏👏👏
Really appreciate learning so much in under 5 min. TY. Subscribed 🎸😎
Thank you! Best, John.
Amazing trick , thanks
Excelente!
That Is outside . Cool stuff.
awesome. thank you.
Thanks for the ideas
Awesome . Really cool
Great stuff thanks 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome licks....
Brutal....tks !!!!!!

Wow!!
You’re a good dude.

Great lesson, playing and tone🫀
Thank you!
Killer lesson! And sweeeet tone too
Thanks, nice guitar helps ;-)
Great tone man!!
Woow, Big THX!!!
Really cool
AWESOME lesson. Thanks!
you got my subscription. Good work and share!
Thank you!
Very nice lesson! Thank you 🙏 Where can I find the backing track?
Thanks! It's from my masterclass Outside Concepts at JTCGuitar: jtcguitar.com/store/package/outside-concepts-blues-masterclass
Giant steps!
Great playing as always !
Thanks Neil!
Importan Video m thank u
This is awesome!!
Thanks Roger!
Buenísimo 👏 👏
Excellent. Thanks a lot.
I watch a lot of these ‘outside’ videos. I still can’t apply it properly.
Augmented Triad motion.
I got it from Eef Albers (dutch guitarhero)
@@JohnFKlaver I going to see how this works with Diminished motion, should get most if not all alterations of Dominant.
I should have mentioned from b2 3 5 7.
it's a great lesson. i love it. may i suggest? when you teach the lesson, your camera position shouldn't be from below. it's hard to follow
I just realized that connecting the outside licks by a 1/2 step make them work.
great concept, thankx!
Thank you Jochen!
👏👏👏👏
Cool! Just for a better understanding, this is for working in a hexatonal (whole step scale) concept right?
It can but I just moved a simple lick in major 3rd intervals without thinking of one scale.
an easy way to teach this is to show how to enclose the root of the following scale with the b3 and 4th of the current scale.
Yes thanks!
bravo ! great sound
Thanks!
Cool :)))))
The last one reminds me of Skunk Funk live ideas
Thank you
Can we use that concept to it's family chord in B flat? Or only play on B flat ( 1 chord only)?
If it resolves to a chordtone it could, but I like it more over 1-chord-vamps.
0:26 Brecker style
John - When you are playing the full, completed lick, could you please slow it down to make it easier to see what you’re doing? Thanks
Hi Daniel,

Mmm ... I gotta ask ... about that guitar. The headstock is great but I can't see the letters of theblogo !!!
It's from JHG Guitars! Builder is Hans Geerdink, he also works for Huber Guitars. Cheers, John

b10? What happened to #9?
You mentioned a backing track but I could not see a link to it, thanks!
Sorry about that, if you search for 'backing track - hottentot John Scofield' you'll find similar tracks. Hope this helps!
Why does the Eb note in the Bb minor pentatonic not clash with Bb7b10. Isn't it an avoid note?
Yes, it would be the sus4 and wants to resolve if you land on it, but as a passing note it works. Best, John
Why do you spell the chord as a b10 rather than a #9?

I only play outside when it's sunny
I bet you mean the song Sunny!? ;-)
But seriously, excellent video. You have given me a lot to experiment with
2:34
bB -7 b10 ? I’m never heard of a b10.

Flat 10 makes so much more sense
Really.
Had to think what is he talking about i never heard of a flat 10 in my life then i figured it out is a B flat aug9 or also called a B flat sharp 9 I have no idea why you call this a flat 10
It's about the function of the note in a musical context, so sometimes it's sharp 9, but most of the times it's flat 10.

Yes don’t worry about it, I explain it somewhere in the commentsection. Thanks, John
Yes, it’s more accurate-blues has both thirds
@@michaeltilley8708 #9 is the most common, as chords are stacked in thirds 1,3,5,7,9,11,13. So 10 is not used.
@@tbgtbg6311 true that, but if you’re interested see my other comment.
@@tbgtbg6311 it also kind of precludes adding the b9 to that sonority, which sounds quite tasty.
Flat 10 ???
Why not just call it what it actually is !
Bb 7 sharp 9 or Bb7#9
