    Tim Miller / Holdsworth Legato AbMaj7#5 Penatonic, super hip way of playing over E7Alt chords!

    There's an error in the fretboard diagram displayed in the video. Correction here...

    This is one of my favorite sounds. It's an AbMaj7#5 Pentatonic used over an E7 Alt chord.


    This pentatonic is Ab C D E G (1 3 #4 #5 Maj7)


    This makes an AbMaj7#5 which is an E7#5#9 chord in 1st inversion. (Over G# (Ab))


    I love to use this modally over an E7 Alt chord. To do that, think of the Ab (G#) as the 3rd of E7 and play the AbMaj7#5 pentatonic over the E7.


    As a bonus, i've included a sequenced version of the scale which I start on an upbeat (forward motion) and show you the unique way i apply hybrid picking and pull-offs to this kind of riff to give it a very legato sound.
