I am not a jazz guitar master, but that might help you more!!! the more common use of this scale. the lydian dominant is when you play the A melodic minor scale over a D7 chord. this is probably the most flavorful part of this series. Check it out …

I’m no jazz master, but this seems to be the most jazziest function of the scale. this is the Altered scale, or the Melodic Minor Scale a half step up. so in a jazzy ii VI Dmin7 G7 Cmaj7 you play the G# Melodic minor over the G7 and you get a real jizzazzy sound. try it out, and thanks a lot!!!

Melodic Minor with dorian style jam. Added tension and not necessarily the most used function of the scale, but wanted to star with this.

Carlos Santana is a unique guitarist that inspired countless of players. Trick #9 is designed to give you a little bit of that Santana magic in your solos. It is advised that you learn this Trick before moving on to Trick 10 because it is actually the first half of that Trick.

This is a blues jam that Larry did for my favorite website. A little taste of what kinds of things you can learn from his course. Larry is a master of Blues, Jazz, and fusion. He’s played on some of your favorite Rock and Roll tracks too such as Steely Dan’s, “Kid Charlemagne,” He has shared studios and stages with the like of The Crusaders, Joni Mitchell, Sammy Davis Jr., Quincy Jones, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Michael Jackson, Stanley Clark, Billy Cobham, Bobby Bland, and many more. He also plays in the group Fouplay with Nathan East, Bob James, and Harvey Macon. I have taken these lessons and they really show you how to phrase well and make every note count.

a practical way to use one of the modes. this one, is known as mixolydian and it is played over A7, so it would be known as A mixolydian. I give an example on how to combine it with the blues and pentatonic scales.
