      I've always find this stupidly confusing. Why A or whatever starting from "insert a chord degree" if you can just play C major pentatonic/whatever scale, because otherwise you have to remember that you have to start from different positions but why if it's all the same notes? You aren't forced to start lines from C anyway so why make it more complicated?
      Example: If you say Cmaj7 - I can think of C major pentatonic, C ionian, C lydian, maybe C lydian dominant, C lydian augmented, C lydian augmented #2, C Ioninan #5, maybe C Augmented hexatonic scale. ALL IN C!!! Why should I care about all the other RELATIVE modes starting from different chord tone if it's all the same notes in the edn????? It's unnecessarily complicated!

    Dear Rotem: I have watched hundreds of videos about playing electric guitar. And I have learned a lot, thanks to the musicians, like you, that make available so many knowledge. But I would like to emphasize that I developed a new skill just playing Cmaj7 and all the variations you teaches in this video. Really very helpful. It's not necessary to play a bunch of chords to have something amazing. Joys!

  • @darrenbrignell8482
    @darrenbrignell8482 2 года назад

    So useful Rotem!. My favourite chords are the replacement maj7 . For years now I've practiced playing a major scale but with a chord to each note replacing the minors with min 7 and majors with maj7 this is where I stumbled across the maj7 but I've been playing over the maj7 with all sorts of stuff looking for the appropriate scale to use. I now know that there are several, So happy.I also have heard that a song may end with a maj7 and sometimes I get confused with the use of a maj7 and how it should be used. I love the way you explain the different colours and I guess its a real pretty coloured chord. Thanks very much Rotem.

    The b minor pentatonic is quick way to get the Lydian feel as well as the full c Lydian scale as are the Lydian triad pair C-D. Really stretching the Lydian mode/feel. ;) Top it off with a Lydian pentatonic C, E, F#, G, B.

    For the certain minor pentatonics that can be played over C (Em, Bm)-is there the same structure available for different keys? Like... in the key of E, can I solo with the F#m pentatonic? Or C#m?

    • @therealandrew185
      @therealandrew185 3 года назад +4

      It's more about the distance between the chords or scales. If you are soloing over C Maj7, you can play e minor pentatonic (e minor is a Major 3rd above C). If you are soloing over E Maj7, you can play g# minor pentatonic (g# minor is a Major 3rd above E).
      Both are the same musical interval away from the chord you are playing over.
      But like he says at the end, you can play anything over anything. Solo in f minor pentatonic over a E Major 7 (just depends on if you like a sound that intense).
      He's just offering some common options that are not too intense for the average listener, but nothing is holding you back from creating the most dissonant music ever heard (if you're into that kinda thing).

  • @fran6b
    @fran6b 3 года назад +3

    Just to add a little complement, as I understand music mostly by modes and degrees, I wouldn't call the F#/Gb of the Bm pentatonic over a Cmaj7 chord a flat five, but a raised forth. The raised forth clearly underline the Lydian nature of that particular Cmaj7 chord, which is a Lydian maj7, not a Ionian maj7. As for the G major scale to play over a Cmaj7 Lydian to underline the raised fourth. Don't you think it's a little confusing to talk about the G major scale instead of C Lydian even if you name it between parentheses ? I do think those details make a big difference, as they allow you to have a deeper understanding of what's harmonically going on. I love your content, and everything! I just hope to add a little constructive idea to it, and at the same time questioning my own way to conceptualize music ^^
