Good strong framework to organise thinking and playing. The only addition is the fact that you don't always have to shift the scale just because the chords shift - so chords go from I to IV a "blues scale" starting in I will still sound good over the IV chord. Otherwise, your usual helpfully high standard - many thanks.
The minor pentatonic is also just a blues scale without the #4. There's also a major blues scale (maj penta plus b3) that's very useful in any kind of blues. I like these 2 blues scales better than the pentatonics because you can get chromatic phrases and more interesting licks, imo. The pentatonic intervals get boring to me. Everybody over plays them.
I think the real point here is scales aren't great tools for creating melodic ideas, necessarily. They can be helpful to know what notes to play, but at the end of the day if we are thinking major blues scale, it's going to stifle creativity.
@@Learnjazzstandards The major blues/major pentatonic/dominant 7 arpeggio is used as "pallet cleanser" to make the bluesy stuff sound bluesier. If you're always on the minor pentatonic it sounds like your creativity is already stifled. Mixing the major and minor sounds opens up more possibilities.
Daniele Prudenzano over Bb7 he’s playing a mixolydian scale which has a flat 7th. In the case of Bb that’s an Ab. The diminished chord is in bar 6 but there is no Ab
Hey Malik, scales aren't discussed much in Jazz Blues Accelerator. What we do work on as one of the resources for the practice program is the scale maps in 12 keys that I demonstrated in the video.
Brent--- I'm a fan of your teaching and have bought from you. But what is with the extremely annoying ads interrupting your videos? Are you doing this? It's getting so bad that I'm almost ready to quit RUclips. If you are responsible---- please stop. If you aren't, can you stop it?
I love your jazz face whenever you play 😁

Thanks mate
Any time!
That's what Jimmy Bruno says. Scales are pitch collections............
A Minor Melodic scale starting on the 5th of the Dominant chord could be another option
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Bb7 use B melodic minor? What do you think? 😊
I have the exact same bookcase as you!
Hey, sometimes IKEA does the job
You could also call the pentatonic scale the blues scale minus the flat 5th. It’s purely convention here and nothing else.

At 8:44-Maj Pentatonic- Beginning of "In a Sentimental Mood"?
Hi Brent, could you please double-check bar 7, in the diminished scale the A flat seems wrong, should be natural A...

Thank you for this lot of ideas.
Is this material in the jazz-blues course ??

Why wouldn't you have the camera on the guitar ?
Dude, adjust your camera so we can se what you're playing

Too much information. I'm more confused
