These Line Studies are more or less some ideas/Licks to demonstrate how to play through chord changes.
But in these Line studies a lot is going on! These lines are packed with chromatics, Arpeggios, octave displacement... very intelligent composed lines.
I think it is difficult to tell how this concept works as a whole in an internet thread, best option is to work through the book!
It is cheap and gets you playing.Last edited by redwater; 05-27-2013 at 03:52 AM.

Where the heck is the octave displacement in Linear Expressions?
You're the second person to mention it.

The first time it shows up in line study 2A at Ebm7 line, first two notes.
The second time is Line Study 2B at the first of the two Cm7 lines, also first two notes.
Third Time 3A at Am7 first two notes.
Hope I could help you.

In my opinion that is a skip or leap, not octave displacement. As I understand it 1/2 step and whole step is called step or stepwise movement, anything larger is called a skip or a leap.

Here is a Joe Diorio octave displaced line. #28 in his REH hotline book

The difference between octave displacement and skipwise movement is that in displacement there are many more shifts. Skipwise is more like one shift.

Don`t want to argue your observations, but I think OD must not necessarily be overdone to be OD.
Anyway, it is just a kind of definition...Last edited by redwater; 05-27-2013 at 05:43 PM.

I have Martino's "Creative force" part 1 and 2. He shows his conversion thing (already covered in this thread) and plays/tabs lines over all sorts of chords.
He seems to like minor because he really knows how to create the interesting chromatic/jazzy lines that he is famous for when thinking in dorian.
But once you get the hang of his ideas it's possible to move them to major and other modes yourself with the minor conversion concept.
Like the famous line he uses several times in A dorian over his version of Impressions, if you play it enough over a C maj7 and an F#alt and you won't need the conversion thing anymore for that line, and so on.
His lines are really cool though

I say just stop wasting your time with his unnecessary crap.

After working on these lines for over fifteen years now, I can hear fragments of 'em in nearly all of his solos...
