I had previously posted on this topic via a clip that demonstrated the concept on piano. I'm using the same Pentatonic scales in this clip from Saturday night's gig with Mark.
To view and download the Pentatonics being used for the improvisation, click on the link included in the clip's description. More clips from this night are up on my YT channel listed under Duo with Mark Carlsen. Other songs include: How Deep is the Ocean, Jitterbug Waltz, Topsy, Like Someone in Love, Triste, Ain't Misbehavin', Peace, There Will Never Be Another You, Chega De Saudade, How Insensitive.
Memorize it! Study it.
(I talk at the end)
This is the famous Carlos Gardel tango song El Dia Que Me Quieras ( the day when you'll love me )
I play guitar on MIDI keyboard. I wish i could play guitar like that huhuhu ;o )
This is an improv concept that will be featured in Volume Two of The Complete Guide To Improvisation which will be coming out soon. I was working on this concept with a private guitar student this week at Berklee. Here is the concept applied over Autumn leaves. The concept involves superimposing a Maj 7th #5 structure over any chord and outlining the Maj 7 #5 chord in the improv. We can also use the related Symmetrical Augmented scale as well as use passing and approach notes to notes in the Maj 7 #5 structure.
