Adam Rogers style lines on What is This Thing Called Love

Adam Rogers Inspired Etude on What is This Thing Called Love - YouTube

Another in my never ending series of etudes working on outside subs. In particular, using Messiaen mode 6 which gives a very cool floating chromatic sound that cuts across changes, and that Adam uses in some solos.

The backing track is from the song Chance (a What is This Thing contrafact) from the Alex Sipiagin record Generations, with Adam's guitar track removed using Moises. Practicing with such a great rhythm section is such a game changer.

Looked up the mode and realised I already know it as the 7b5-dim from Barry. So 7b5 chord plus a dim7 down a half step.

Also major tetrachord mirrored at the tritone which makes for a practical guitar fingering

Or the whole tone add a passing tone between 3 and 5 and b7 and 1

Yeah I think about it as the last one. I feel like I've also heard it refered to as the "augmented bebop scale" but I'm not sure where.

Any examples of Barry playing it? I've wondered about it's use outside Adam's playing.

I left the subs out in the open so they're bound to get stolen.

TBH I don't know. Barry said he hadn't worked on it as much as he'd liked.

I think Duncan Lamont had it in his book as well as an all purpose outside scale.

You can do a minor version

1 2 b3 4 mirror at the b5
1 2 b3 4 #4 #5 6 7 etc

I feel like there's a click bait YouTube video title here.

"Make your subs NUCLEAR with this simple trick"

Or something
