Lot to think about. I'll go into your django tutorial, you have 4 parts, the melody, the 3 part minor scale run, the 3 part arpeggio run, and the chromatic run, which I haven't started. (haven't learned melody either) I have so many things I'm working on. What I notice is the chord changes, and that adds a lot of flair. Been translating that to piano as well. It reminds of a tutorial from the Ray Charles backup piano player on My Sweet Georgia, he changed his scale based on the chord. Its not the same thing again and again.

That said, I want the 15 fret scale run. Yeah its just major scale, however it gives me a fixed reference point. And with that, I can change scale and use the same fixed reference points. (I'm sure you can do the same thing.) And with that, while I could figure out all the pentatonic fingerings, I'll take your advice, and just switch them to the chord. That will be a quick reference to change the scale. And well, I tried to work it out. It can't be done. How can I turn a D dorian scale into a C pentatonic without a D? It's not possible.


Like I say, lot to learn. Can't say it enough, your lessons rule!!!


also want to add a video I found of gypsy jazz
