Pat Martino style, altered chord turnaround in G


This is a cool turnaround done in Pat Martino style. Even though it's written with Alt chords (#5#9 typically),
Pat would play something like this over Bm7 | E7 | Am7 | D7 |.
When you play a line like this with intent and authority, the logic of the line will overrule what the rhythm
section is playing. Coltrane did a lot of stuff like this starting with the Lush Life album and Pat stole liberally
from that particular album of Coltrane's.


Each of the Alt chords is based off of Melodic Minor but with Pat's inimitable chromatics as passing tones.
This was also borrowed from Coltrane and the idea is that the chromatics appear in between notes in the
diatonic scale with whole steps in them such that the chromatic is on the off beat and the strong juice notes
are on the downbeat.


On an altered chord, the juice notes would be the b9, #9, b7, 3rd.


NOTE - Any of the lines that have 3 consecutive strings on 3 notes, are done using economy picking.
