Scott McGill: Skype Guitar Instruction Sloninsky Thesaurus Pattern #9 Jazz Improvisation
www.scottmcgillguitar.com
Skype Guitar Instruction
This is my second Customized Skype Guitar Lesson sample session that deals with how to generate useful improvisational patterns and phrases from Nicholas Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns.
In this session I cover Slonimsky's Pattern No. 9 and play through many Altered Dominant 7th and Diminished Patterns that can be generated from this six tone scale or Hexachord. This is also the second hexachord in Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone set from his Op. 24 Serenade Mvmt. 5.
These ideas are good for technical development, improvisation, and I also discuss some ideas for further work in Slonimsky's Thesaurus that I use in my Skype Customized Guitar Lessons.
Those who follow Guitarists such as Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Pat Martino, and are interested in the work of John Coltrane will find this video of interest.
I studied ten years with the great Jazz Teacher/Composer Dennis Sandole who taught John Coltrane, James Moody, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, and many others.
I have played and recorded with musicians as Bassists Michael Manring and Percy Jones, Producers Neil Kernon and David Torn. Keyboardist Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater played on two tunes of my 2001 disc "Addition By Subtraction" as well.

Scott McGill: Allan Holdsworth Fusion Guitar Chords "Looking Glass" - Skype Guitar Instruction
This session demonstrates how to create a strong Fusion Chordal Vocabulary reminiscent of Allan Holdsworths's chordal work.
In this video sample of my Skype Guitar Lessons Sessions, I look at the chords from the first phrase of Holdsworth's "Looking Glass" and demonstrate how to generate new chordal vocabulary and generate ideas for writing original chordal compositions using the concepts within the tune itself.

Scott McGill: Skype Guitar Instruction - Outside Pentatonic Jazz John Coltrane McCoy Tyner Concepts
In this short mini session I demonstrate some of the Outside Pentatonic techniques of the great jazz innovators John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner and how we can adapt them to the guitar effectively. I apply these techniques to the Pentatonic Scale Positions that we already know on the instrument so that they are easily applied and assimilated into our playing. I utilize a few important concepts that were used by Coltrane on "Pursuance" and Tyner on "Passion Dance" among many others.
I was a student of ten years of Jazz Theorist/Pedagogue Dennis Sandole, teacher of John Coltrane, James Moody, Jim Hall, Pat Martino, and many other important jazz musicians. I have recorded and played with musicians such as Michael Manring, Percy Jones, and Jordan Rudess, and producers Neil Kernon and David Torn.

Scott McGill: Skype Guitar Instruction - Modal Improvisation
In this short session I demonstrate some extended arpeggio concepts used by Miles Davis and John Coltrane for improvisation in Modal Jazz tunes like "So What" and "Impressions". These ideas used by these great masters can give our modal playing melodic direction and harmonic shape over a static chord background. I have also stressed technical development by looking at specific arpeggio and melodic shapes for guitarists that can extend the technical vocabulary of what you already know into new creative directions perhaps making Coltrane's "Sheets of Sound" approach more available to us Guitarists.

Scott McGill: Skype Guitar Instructor - Yusef Lateef's "Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns"
This video is a description of my new Study Catalog for Yusef Lateef's Jazz Improvisation and Theory Text "Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns".
My catalog lists all of the essential scales and harmonic devices Lateef employs in his text and can be a great way to help work through his text or can be used on its own to learn some new and exciting sounds for improvisation or composition quickly when time is precious. Good for the music stand, the gig bag, or the scholar's desk.

Percy Jones, Scott McGill, Ritchie DeCarlo: start a Kickstarter album campaign
Hello, I am Ritchie DeCarlo and I have been putting out albums with Progressive Guitarist Scott McGill for the past 10 years. Two of those albums feature the Legendary Bassist PERCY JONES! We have completed the recording for our third album with him. Unfortunately, there is no label or financial backing for this release. So we need your help to put this album out independently. The goal is to raise $3000.00 to cover mixing, mastering, manufacturing and digital distribution costs. This may sound like a lot of Money, but we really hope to exceed this goal because we really want to give you something special in return for your support... So any extra funds will go towards making the final product much better! If we can get close to $5000.00 we will release a limited edition Vinyl version too!! Thanks to KickStarter, packages are available for any budget, as low as $1.00 for a digital download or as high as $800.00 for a producer credit & a SNARE DRUM! So please consider helping us out and being a part of this project. Every little bit helps, and we GREATLY appreciate any support you can offer.....

Scott McGill: Conlon Nancarrow 3rd Study for Player Piano
Nancarrow is best remembered for the pieces he wrote for the player piano. He was one of the first composers to use musical instruments as mechanical machines, making them play far beyond human performance ability. He lived most of his life in relative isolation, not becoming widely known until the 1980s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conlon_Nancarrow

Scott McGill: An intuitive approach does not exclude formalism
What about the idea that the untrained ear is everything with respect to musical creativity?
An intuitive approach does not exclude formalism and I’ve known and worked with great players in both categories. The argument “don’t read music or your creativity will be shut off” does not stand up to scrutiny. I can give you examples on each side of that argument in every case. I always wanted to read music so that I could grab some sheet music and use the notes in a different way. It was all about grabbing licks for me.
So, you see a music score as a playground rather than a cage?
Precisely. I listen to a score and think ‘What could I do with that?” For example, I’m doing a couple of pieces that have borrowed ideas from Ravel at the moment.
