Pat Martino Actvity 2 Lines Analysed

In this video we look at Pat Martino's Line in Activity 2 of the guitar.
I call the second position SG 24 (String Group 24) as the root notes lie on the 2nd and 4th string of the guitar in position 2.
Pat Martino's lines are super effective and one can do so much with them. They are the ultimate tool for improvising over jazz changes and standards.
The Pat Martino lines also work very well on bass, trumpet, saxophone, piano and any instrument on the planet. There is no need to limit the lines to guitar playing!
The concept of Activity works best on the guitar as the guitar is organised into various positions and we have 5 positions in total on the guitar.
Pat Martino is a jazz guitar legend who set the world of jazz on fire with his virtuoso guitar playing!
Pat Martino's website: (great articles and resources available here!!!)

The book can be purchased online here:

The gist of how it works:
"You play a LINEAR EXPRESSION (or a line) using a modified Dorian or Melodic Minor with chromaticism. This becomes your weapon for performing over chord changes."
The lines are based on the minor scales but can be adjusted to fit over any and all chord changes!
Make sure you purchase his book and study his lines to become a better jazz guitar player!
Pat Martino lines are also excellent for building your guitar technique and guitar line mastery!
Wishing you a great time with your instrument and remember that you just need to spend a little time each day with a consistent effort to reach great heights!

I love this series of videos. I am working my way through Linear Expressions and am up to activity 4. I keep coming back to this series to get a sense of how to apply these things. I have a question though - in this video, you go through application of activity 2 to set of different chords. Can activity 1 (or 3,4 or 5) also be applied to the same chords, or is there something unique about activity 2 that makes it better for the chords you mention here (eg, c9 or em7b5)? On the one hand, they are all g minor, so maybe that's the answer but there are differences (I think) between the activities, maybe in where the chromaticism lies.

Thank you for your kind comment! I just used chords on the moment in an impromptu manner. Every activity should be used on every single chord configuration out there. In the future I will make a video to make this very clear! 😊😊

Hey Stefan thnx a bunch for breaking down this informative book Linear expressions.As you said Pat is mixing the dorian and melodic minor scales to get his lines .Seems you didnt demonstrate precisely how ?

[@stefanjoubert]

Thanks so much for your comment. Yes in this video I am not going into enough details. He basically uses either Dorian or Melodic Minors or a mixture and then uses different movements of lines and chromaticism to create these nice lines! I need to make another video to explain this in more details!
