People at GMC Instagram account (@gmcaxe) is starting to talk about a new scale... Dahl-orian scale...
https://www.instagram.com/p/BTJWTVhh6Ek/?ta...mcaxe&hl=es I think that the scale is close to this:  Is this right Kris? What's the secret behind your Fake Jazz playing? What about having some GMCers jamming over this other backing in Am? It's not necessary to play jazz, play in your own style. The submits will be shared as insta stories if you'd like it. Who is in?

Well I had a go using that scale and it's pretty tricky
 My favourite lick is at 00:57  https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/dahl-orian-improv This post has been edited by Phil66: Apr 21 2017, 09:22 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

hehe I like the sound of that scale name!
 Those notes can surely be used to create some out/jazzy style line sover the backing! I tend to just think pentatonic scale + weird notes - however visualising it through the scale your provided should work as well. The important thing to realise is that you need to have the strong pentatonic notes as your base - and just briefly touch the weird notes. People should def try this backing - awesome to see we have a take already!

The main thing to look out for is to not emphasize the weird notes too much. And this is when swingy style phrasing is handy, because it lends it self to playing every other note softas a passing note. If the above didn't make sene, then just try to think about not resting too long on the weird notes. All in all this was a really cool take though - congrats! |

Thanks Kris
I don't know what I'm doing, i just look at the scale diagram and wing it This has made me think that it's ok to break out of key though. I'm always "scared" to break out of key for fear of "criticism" for doing the 'wrong" thing. That was one take after one listen. I notice in my Improvisations i tend to play small groups of notes with gaps, I struggle to create longer runs and the gaps, i guess, are thinking space. I do love that last lick though. Don't know why but i do  Cheers buddy This post has been edited by Phil66: Apr 22 2017, 08:19 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Nice to see Kris explanation and also a first take by Phil!
I think that the approach shared by Kris is the best way to treat every new scale that we learn, and it's also what he is suggesting Phil doing in order to improve his improvisation. When learning a scale, it's important to identify its structure and be able to find which are the stronger notes in relation with the tonality at first place, and then off course in relation to the chord sounding. In this case, it's safe to identify the pentatonic scale (as well as the root minor arpeggio) and start by using the other notes as passing notes, but I recommend to not only limit to that, mostly when you are on the learning / experimenting stage with a scale. It's really useful to dedicate some time to hear how each note of the scale sounds, and how the different combination of notes sound. I also think that your improvisation would benefit a lot by more rhythm experimentation. I'll send you a PM with some ideas, and I hope to see a new vid from you here. -------------------- My lessons

That looks like what I call the Mixo-Dorian Penta-Blues scale. My favorite!
Toss a B note in there for good measure.

So what exactly makes a scale a scale?
Ok, here's another go, I just can't do that rhythm thing, I just keep going de da diddly daa, diddly da de daa etc etc. https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/dahl-orian-improv-2  UPDATE: Sunday April 23rd 2017: Ok, after talking with Kris in the Livestream I had another go. There a lots of things here that don't come out as I hoped, it was totally improvised but hopefully, you can hear what I was trying to do and maybe give me some more pointers. The hammer on section really didn't work but then I don't do much of that but I saw Kris do it either in answer to my question or someone else's. You can hear some of that horrible COSM fizzing in parts, there must be a way to dial that out  https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/dahl-orian-improv-3 Cheers folks.

Just a nudge because I added my last take to my last post and it doesn't bump it up

Hi Phil! The new take has really important improvements regarding rhythm and note choices. This is definitely the right track. You should continue experimenting until both elements become more natural but at this point it's ok to force it a bit in order to get familiar.
As we've talked about rhythm when improvising and you are clearly understanding the concept and how to apply it, I recommend you to check out some of your favourite guitarists improvising and put your focus on how the manage rhythm, and phrasing. About your what's a scale question, it really worth to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music) -------------------- My lessons

I think that pretty much explains it all.

By getting deeper on the theory behind scales, you'll answer your own question. You can build any combination that you'd like. The key is to learn how to identify which is the mother scale of what you've build, and then see if there are also some extra notes (ex: Lydian b7, Mixolydian #4). -------------------- My lessons
