Knowledge of chords is so intertwined with a knowledge of scales I can't seen any reason why a well-educated and well versed player wouldn't wouldn't know both methods, inside out, today.
So many instructors, formats and institutions teach just about everything there is ti know today that Carol's consistent and contiued badgering on this subject, to me, just makes her a turn-off.

Horace Hatchett was regarded as a great teacher (-Howard Roberts studied with him, as did Carol Kaye, among many others) but not a great player. Joe Pass was a great player but his teaching, esp the early books, don't get many players where they want to go. (Joe was more suited to video, just showing you how he plays, though his explanations are sort of catch-as-catch-can. Mickey Baker sure has taught a multitude of players the basics of jazz.

Good news, the webcam now works. Took three installations but it's working now. I'll make a short introductory vid tonight or tomorrow (-it's playoff weekend again and I'm a football fan) and post it asap.

There's 4 parts to that Joe Pass video. His discussion of practicing scales is in the later part.

And here they are, along with the rest of the song....

One of my all time favorites. Has been since I first heard it when it was released back in the 60's

If the chordal note approach is better than why is that? Can we get exact details on this and how she teaches it?

Oh I'm buying when I can. I just want to understand what I'd be spending money on I guess. So basic details are good.
