Legato 2-1-2 style over a ii-v-1 progression, jazz-archtop style using SIMPLE pentatonic scales, altered dominant, lydian


This lick demonstrates a 2-5-1 chord progression in A (Bm7-E7-AMaj7) and demonstrates how you can create exotic, rich and beautiful tones using simple pentatonic scales and using modern, 2-1-2 style, legato fingering.


IMPORTANT - You can use the jazz licks for fusion and the fusion licks for jazz. Just because the tone is one or the other does *NOT* preclude you using it for other stuff!


You can make this even more rich and complex by adding some altered tones and I'll demonstrate that in a future video but this is just straight pentatonic scales.


Bm7 - Bmin pentatonic
E7 - BbMaj pentatonic (Bb C D F G) this gives you the #4 #5 b7 b9 #9 (Alt chord)
AMaj7 - G#min pentatonic this gives you the AMaj9#11 sound (lydian)


Very cool sounds for some pretty easy work...
