14:26 Final Thoughts
In this guitar lesson I'll be breaking down my absolute favourite Robben Ford outside device - aka the Lydian Dominant scale - and showing you how to use it within a minor blues. I think this is a really beautiful, slightly mysterious sound, and it's arguably the most accessible of our 'outside' scales. I'll be taking you through the main steps from the theory, outlining dominant 7 chords, adding the #4 colour, using triad pairs and then repurposing melodic minor/altered ideas.

    Truly magic, both from Robben and from Steve. Steve, when you first were playing through the changes, that first chorus (which I realize now you intentionally played straight ahead) had me thinking - nothing special here, THEN the second chorus and my jaw dropped - SO many juicy outside beautiful tones spilling out. I had the pleasure of meeting Robben on Zoom during the pandemic and he even critiqued my playing (along with critique from Allen Hinds and Jon Herington (Steely Dan)). I have a clip of that on my channel. It made my musical life to see Robben reacting to my playing. Your content is amazing Steve - thank you for more content about Robben's technique - explained so thoroughly and easy to understand.
