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.

This isn't just a great route into Jazz tunes that require a 'Latin Feel', but can give you the tools for improving hand/finger and limb independence and improve your overall rhythmic security. It's also a great opportunity to ...

Scofield's Outside SECRETS
Переглядів 66 тис.Рік тому
John Scofield is an absolute master of playing outside lines. In this lesson I'll break down some of his trade secrets including how to use the awesome half whole diminished and Phrygian Dominant scales to play over functioning V chords. There are obviously some super tasty Scofield outside licks, but I'll also be diving into the theory and how you can also repurpose the licks to make them your...
This is an amazing lesson! Thank you for breaking it down in a simple way!
Great vid. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks Jimmy!
FANTASTICO!
Thanks Mauro! 🎸
Makes me think of The Fez by Steely Dan.
Incredible ideas here - I’m getting Scofield vibes as well. Can’t wait to try this all out. Thinking of a Gmaj arpeggio is great way to avoid that natural 4 over F.
Fantastic - glad it's inspired!
bravissimo, Steve!!! Top!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Fantastic Skills! Great explanation of the how and why! Thank You Steve!
Very welcome!
Out Run! Classic arcade game! Had a cool background soundtrack 🤓
Haha yes! 😀
this just blew my mind. to be fair, most of my fretboard is dead lol and this just made the whole "learn your scales" thing SO much more interesting. for the first time i'm actually motivated to figure out the neck, because this makes so much sense
@drumrit that's amazing!! Thanks 🙏🏼
@@SteveAllsworth Do you plan on making more videos for beginner-intermediate level players in the blues/rock/funk territory? your teaching style is pretty unique!
@@SteveAllsworth PS your surname reminds me of Allan Holdsworth
Keep up the outstanding output. Super clear on advanced harmonic concepts
Cheers Rob! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
melodic minor concept 1/2 step above c11 chord to f maj7
Absolutely!
The turn around run was tasty!
Cheers!
Huge thanks, sir. Your lessons are treasure 💙
My pleasure! 😊
Awesome! Great lesson.
Thanks! 😃
You’re so damn good
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Are you miking your cabinet, or going direct?
Into a Two Notes Torpedo with a Fender Twin IR 👍🏻
What a cool sound! what were you using?
I think it was the Strat into a King of Tone pedal into my Fender amp - delay was some analog unit on Logic - can't remember now!
@@SteveAllsworth thanks for replying! 🙏
Excellent Lesson!
Thanks Nick! 😃
That video is killer
Cheers! 🎸
Impeccable lesson....
Thanks Pedro 🙏🏼
Also works very nicely over back door dominants in jazz.
Absolutely - this one sounds great 💪🏼
You have a great sound. What amp and overdrive pedal did you use?
Thanks! All details in the description 🎸
Your phrasing is immaculate. Have you ever considered coming up with a funky blues fusion kind of instrumental guitar album? I could listen to your style all day! Cheers 😊
That would be cool! You might just have planted a seed....
Awsome video. Please. What is the kind of sound you use as a backing track ? Some kind of string / keys ? Can't find thoose kind of patch in my banks...
Cosmic Strings (ES2) 🙌🏼
@@SteveAllsworth Thank you ! :)
Or you could forget about all the theory and just lower the E in the A minor pentatonic to Eb and play that scale over the F7. ;-)
Haha that works - I guess if it's good enough for SRV! But then I'd have nothing to talk about 😅
Bro, you gained a new subscriber. managed to really convey the Robben Ford vibe, without sounding like a copy. Robben is on my top list. There are some videos on my channel where I try to improvise, and Robben was the guy who showed me that it's possible to improvise without being exclusively dependent on licks.
Awesome Rafael - great to have you on board! 🙏🏼🎸
Great lesson Steve. I’m going to work on this. First thing I need is a Dumble amp and a tele to even sound that good. Oh and some talent. One thing at a time. 😊
Haha, nice one Tim - that elusive talent booster pedal will come out one day! 😂
@@SteveAllsworth I’ll be the first in line for a talent booster pedal. Keep up the great work.
Fire videooo!
that opened a whole new box of musical wonder i always wondered what i heard in my head
That's great to hear!
God, I'm obsessed with this chord, trying to play it with bass for Cm, Bm versions etc. Quite a challenge tbh, but it's worth if for such beautiful voicing. Thank you for inspiring, sir
Fantastic - glad to help!
Well Done ! Much gratitude
My pleasure! 🎸
That is Robben Ford!
Cheers!
Great Job Man 🎸🎸🎸
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Absolute pure gold Steve!! Awesome!! This clarifies something I have been struggling with on altered scale moves.
Awesome - glad it was helpful! 🎸
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.
Haha, yes the temptation is to throw it all in too quickly! Thanks so much for the comments Joel - I'll see if I can check your video out 🙌🏼
There’s a great track that Robben guests on that’s under the radar. It’s by a band called Quiet city and the song is called I Know your name, he has that 90s blue line tone on it even though the song is from 2021 I believe. Check it out, his playing is sublime 😎
Nice! Never heard that one - some amazing playing on there 🔥
Your guitar playing is superb and your phrasing & note choice always blows me away. I jump for joy every time you release a new video. 😀 Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
💯
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Superb lesson and channel. You always make this something special!
Thanks again Matthias!
Thanks so much, sir. The quality of information and production is superb / also great tune and playing
My pleasure! 🎸
Great lesson!!!
Thanks! 😃🙏🏼
You never disappoint Steve. I think you have his outside style down cold. This is a master class in Fordisms. Cheers
Thank you Tim! 🙏🏼🎸
Hands down the best lesson on Robben Ford Ive ever seen on the UA-cams and man that tone is golden, thank you for this amazing content 😎
True mostly they talk bit about diminished and you dont know what to do wth it but this guy here is perfect with his explanaition etc.
Wow, thanks! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Have you ever released any books Steve? I’d love to purchase a book with in depth explanation of this style of playing. You make it less scary and easier to grasp. Too many online “educators” show a blistering lick in a key and don’t explain the context of the chord tones like you do.
Thanks for the kind words - nothing in the pipeline - I may do one in future, but for now I'm trying to get all this stuff down in an online video course! 💪🏼
Very nice!
Thanks!
Steve I really want to thank you for this amazing video!!! With your understandable language and your reassuring smile you guide us to the land of the Gods. 😀👍👍👍
Land of the Gods - I like that! Cheers! 😇🎸
Awesome, thanks a lot for the content Steve
Sure thing! 🙌🏼
you're a spectacular teacher!!! Thanks a lot
Thank you Alessio! 😃
Brilliant lesson. What are you playing through? Your tone is stunning

What @LostPlanet2024 said Khalil ⬆️ Thanks anyway! 🙏🏼
Well… I’ll come back on the second chance week 😂 I was lost in the very beginning. Anyway, you sound great, and Robben too 😉 Thanks
😂 Best in bitesize chunks perhaps! 😅 Thanks for watching!
