Great four minor pentatonic licks over II V I VI progression.
Look at the legato notes...very helpfull at fast tempos.
Transposed from "On Improvisation"/1983 J. Scofield/.

kris-you seem to know scofield very well. i've been playing with a new group and we cover two of his tunes, ideo funk and hottentot. any ideas for improvising in these tunes?

[kris]

Hello,
Ideofunk,Hottentot.
Easy tunes I mean first with two changes/E7,D7/ for impro and next with with one /Bb7#9/ for impro.
it is big work to improvise like John over one chord.He practise standards like Sella By Satrlight about 30 years...:-)He has great feel...blues ,funnky staff!!
Try to play you feel and do not copy Scof.
If you like lines played by Scof transcribe them and transfere them to your style of playing.
Use blues scale,pentatonic,diminished,melodic min, whole tone scales...create outside notes/out lines/.A lot of things.
