GMC Forum _ Collaborations _ Fusion Collaboration
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 13 2009, 10:05 PM
Hello GMC !
Today I present you my first Fusion collaboration. The reason why I named it Fusion is because chord progression (harmony) allows you to blend and mix many different styles , and if you do it well it will sound Jazzy too 
Tempo for this backing track is 120bpm. Time signature is 4/4.
Chord progression goes like this
/ A min7/ A min7/ A min7/ A min 7/
/ C min7/ C min7/ C min7/ C min7/
/ F# min7/ F#min7/ G7sus4 (F/G)/ G#dim7 (E7b9/G#)/
/ A min7/ A min//
As you see, this chord progression is not diatonic at all times, which means you can't just play one scale and get trough it.
First 4 bars have A min 7 chord, which gives you ability to use A minor pentatonic, A Dorian mode, A natural minor even A harmonic and melodic minor (with care).
Second 4 bars have C min 7 chord, so here we have direct modulation to C minor tonality , where you can play everything you did for A minor now just in C !
Next 2 bars we have F# min7 where the same rules apply as for A and C minor!
Following bar is G7sus4 or F triad with G in the bass. This is Fusion chord used by many artists in fusion genre. It basically comes from C major scale and think of as G mixolydian mode (or C major played from G).
Next bar has G# dim7 or E7b9 with G# in the bass chord. Here you can play diminished 7 arpeggios from G#, B, D and F. If you are looking for ideal scale, here you can use A harmonic Minor starting from G# or E preferably
Last two bars have A minor tonality where everything is resolved and now we are back at the beginning !
This collaboration is open to all levels and styles.
Deadline for submitting all takes is 28th of January.
Don't forget you can always play arpeggios, sequence, motive development , repetition, question and answer phrasing, time feel change etc.
You can upload your take http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=23473
I look forward to your takes on this one.
Enjoy the backing !

The backing is really interesting, I love how the tension culminates at the g# diminished chord... This is going to be real challenge for me...

Where is my automatic sign-up 
I am in of course
Btw, I don't see any backings attached to the post, anyone else have to same problem?
Posted by: berko Jan 13 2009, 11:45 PM
@Velvet Roger
I don't understand this either: there is another thread with the same name and with exactly the same content WITH backing attached. I've already signed up there with other people too... Maybe this tread wanted to be the one for the uploads 
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 14 2009, 12:06 AM
You guys are all in !
I will put Tolek and Velvet Roger first as they are signed up for every future collaboration - per request

Beautiful Andy
In last collaboration you mentioned that you want to spice up your playing with Jazz lines and outside approach. This backing track will definitely do the job for things mentioned. Feel free to use chromatic approaches etc

Cool backing track Pedja!
Can I have a spot?
Do we record the lead over one chord progression or can we make it twice as long?
Also, were do we need to post out takes?

Pedja, I tried somethings over it and its not as easy as it seems. and 14 mesures is really hard to stop I always tend to feel it like 16 mesures
Well by tomorrow I think it will be posted

Take your time Can no rush !
I will post couple of my takes tonight. The idea of this collaboration is to get you out of 12 bar blues and inside playing , basically to open up some harmonic possibilities for you guys.
Will let you know when I post my takes, then we can discuss them perhaps in detail - thanks

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 16 2009, 06:12 PM
Here is my take guys. I consider it to be between intermediate and advanced. Its very hard to put all your ideas and knowledge in less than 30 second of playing , but I think this solo can tell you a lot melodically and give some ideas for your solos.
Posted by: Ajmurrell Jan 16 2009, 06:51 PM
Sounds great Pedja, some great idea's going on there
I can improvise over the A minor and Cminor pentatonic areas (Ain't I amazing ) but thats where it gets tricky! These are new scales to me, so its just a matter of learning how to make use of them melodically.

This chord progression is tricky compared to all the other collaborations we had on GMC. That is why it will push your limits and I feel you guys will really notice improvement after this collaboration.
By the way, would it help if I did lesson on this exact same solo on GMC ?

That would be cool maybe even a longer solo ( just a bit
)Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 16 2009, 09:15 PM
)Definitely there will be this solo as lesson. As for longer I might divide the solo into difficulties and record 2 more types over same backing
Posted by: Mandos Jan 16 2009, 11:47 PM
Really nice Pedja. I especially liked the last part of the solo.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 17 2009, 12:19 AM
Thank you Mandos
Last part is really kind of playing that I like to do all the time - its very common in Jazz music for phrasing and scale choice. Unfortunately I couldn't just do that for the whole solo as the time frame was short, and I had to build into it somehow .
Glad you enjoyed it
Posted by: lcsdds Jan 17 2009, 01:53 AM
Pedja,
For the first 2 sections of the backing you say you can use natural minor and dorian modes. Is there a reason you couldn't use Phrygian as well? The way I think of the modes is that you have 3 major modes (Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian) although I know that Mixolydian is dominant 7 chord. Then you have 3 minor modes (Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian). I think of the Locrian mode as a diminished mode but I am not sure if that is a correct line of thinking. Am I wrong in thinking I can use the phrygian mode over a Min7 chord? Thanks.

Monte
Monte you can use Phrygian sure , but I didn't recommend it here as harmony has constant structure in it (moving up in minor 3rd then up a tritone etc) . In Fusion music everything is possible. I just figured you guys are more used to using Aeolian and Dorian then Prhygian or Melodic minor scale nor Dorian #4 and Dorian b2 etc
So yeah , in theory anything can happen as long as the scale/mode has 1 b3 5 which is Minor triad in it from root of the scale
The interesting part is to take all those scales and devices and make music with it - thats where it gets tricky a bit hehe
Good question tough I enjoyed it
Posted by: JamesT Jan 17 2009, 02:40 AM
Funny how we all think of modes differently. ...or at least maybe I think of them differently
For example, when I think of A-Dorian, I think of the key that it would have to be in which is G major (one f# in the scale). This probably goes back to my college days when I studied music theory on the Piano. I forgot, what it's called, but I think it's called the rule of sharps. When you look at the key signiature, you look at the last sharp noted then go 1/2 step up and that's the name of the key. In the key of G, there is only one sharp (f#). The A-Dorian scale only has one sharp (f#), therefore it's in the key of G.
during that same time period, I was also taking guitar lessons from a local pro (good player). He showed me all the modes, but described them as simply the seven related patterns on the guitar neck that when fit together are in the same key.
So using all this data, I then find all of the 7 modes (or note patterns) in G major and when playing in these patterns try to make sure that my licks or runs "resolve" to the 1,,3,5, or 7 of the A minor chord. This keeps it "Dorian". Resolving a phrase to these notes is the hard part for sure, but I do find that you can get away with not resolving a phrase to any particular note as long as it's in the right key.
That's probably not the right way to think about all this but it seems to work or at least my solos end up sounding like they fit into the chord progression. For this collab, I'm hoping to explore this concept a bit and somehow make it all work. It's going to be fun.

Everything until highlighted part was worrying me where you were going with that story
Its perfectly OK to think of 7 patterns and relate modes to original major and/or minor scale. That I call first step as you obviously need to know scale of origin before you get to making music with it.
Now second step is isolating specific mode from the scale and studying it as scale itself. This is the part where you (after a while of practicing) forget that A dorian is G major but rather dorian mode on its own. The reason why you do that is because each mode has characteristic notes in it , cadences and ways of creating melodies within it !
So Dorian mode has 1 b3 5 b7 which is Minor 7th chord or just Minor chord (1 b3 5). But then it has a characteristic note which is major 6th (in case of A dorian that would be F# , C dorian A note etc).
By using characteristic note in your soloing you actually describe the sound of mode the best way - along with landing on chord notes of your chord thats played beneath
I hope that makes sense.
I like it , we are on the same page here
I am very excited about all of your takes guys. I might do couple more takes myself - beginner and a little bit more intermediate. I don't want anybody to think they have to play like Guthrie Govan or Scott Henderson over this.
Edit : Typo
Posted by: lcsdds Jan 17 2009, 03:00 AM
That's good cause I was thinking more like Vai or Satch playing a hollowbody!!
I'm really excited about this collab. I have never even thought of ATTEMPTING fusion. I'm beginning to really love all the thinking and possibilites that seem to go with playin fusion.

I'm beginning to really love all the thinking and possibilites that seem to go with playin fusion.I enjoy all styles of music but when I hear some awesome harmony with great melodic choices it really makes me smile
So for me that Fusion and Jazz - anything in between that ads up to that .
Go for it Monte

Believe me, I'm very much a newbie at this. And you're going to be able to tell from my take when you hear it. I'm just trying to apply what I know and learn a few things along the way, that's all.

Posted by: wrk Jan 17 2009, 08:28 AM
That sounds interesting Pedja, but i have a question .. i get that from Am7 -> Cm7 is a minor 3rd step, from Cm7 -> F#m7 is a tritone step, but why this leads to the conclusion that dorian or nat. minor is a better choice then phrygian?
Of course, dorian is a bit more obvious as the each cord is a normal minor 7 chord without extensions (b9), but what is this minor 3rd - tritone structure telling me. Is this a typical cadence or something like that?
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 17 2009, 01:19 PM
Sorry... I didn't notice this thread until right now
You still have time until 28th of January to submit your take.
I will put you down on the list now

Very good question Andy
As I mentioned to Monte above, in theory you can really use anything. When I say anything I mean scales/modes that have 1 3 b5 in them which gives you minor triad. Thats why Aeolian, Dorian , Phrygian, Dorian #4, Dorianb2, Harmonic minor 1, Melodic Minor 1, Hungarian minor etc all are the scales that you can use over simple minor chord !
The reason I referenced to Aeolian and Dorian is simply because you will find examples of those scales in Fusion then Phrygian. Check out Mike Stern, John Scofield, Pat Metheny even Michael Brecker.
Don't worry about Minor 7th chord. You can play Harmonic and Melodic minor also over it , even tough you have Major 7th interval there. You just have to pull it off nicely and create interesting melodies with it.
In fact, I may record a solo with melodic minor to show you how it fits great over it !
As far as harmony goes, this is not a specific cadence per say, but I applied some Harmony and Theory rules I learned while ago regarding direct modulation and prepared modulation (at the end
Hope that makes sense Andy

Thanks for submitting your take man . Are you fully satisfied with it ? If you are , I will add you to the Recorded list , if not do more takes.
Overall really nice note choice but I won't comment on everything now as I don't know if this is your final version
Toroso to answer your question here is A harmonic minor : A B C D E F G# A
I was saying that you can use the modes of that scale starting from E and G# which is following :
E F G# A B C D E
and
G# A B C D E F G#
Its entirely up to you how you will mix and match the notes from these modes, as long as you create melody over backing track you have done great work !

I'm sorry Pedja but I'm going to have to drop out this collab. I just have too many things to do. I hope you make another collab in the future when I have some more time on my hands.

There will be collab next month but I have to finish this one before getting to next one

so still 1 week left, fine
lets see what i can do ...
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 21 2009, 02:18 PM

No pressure Harry, if you feel its really really really hard, don't do it
However, if you feel its within your reach go for it - challenge is always good for improvement !
Posted by: big harry Jan 21 2009, 02:26 PM
no it should not so hard Pedja
i guess really really hard is enough
its time to start over, not just sitting in the cellar and practice
sometimes is always the first time ....... now i have 3 kids
so it cannot be that difficult playing some fusion.......
lets see what we will get .....
